The article discusses two topics: former President Barack Obama's perceived hypocrisy regarding academic freedom and the funding of Hamas through humanitarian aid. Robby Soave criticizes Obama for applauding Harvard's stand against the Trump administration while ignoring his own policies that undermined free speech and due process in college sexual misconduct cases. Separately, Seth Mandel highlights that Hamas controls and exploits aid shipments in Gaza, and Israel's decision to cut off this aid is aimed at crippling the group's financial support. This strategy aims to weaken Hamas by depriving it of resources required to maintain its operations.
