> And following up on that, do you honestly believe that the students at harvard want all jewish people all over the world to be murdered?

"We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence."

For the people who view Oct 7 as justified, yes

> Isn't it more likely that the students in question want the israelis to stop committing acts of violence against palestinians

They can want both at the same time. October 7th was an act of terror against Jewish civilians. The people who blame the Israeli government 100% (including aforementioned student organizations) don't find fault with the people committing those murders. That implies that they see the murder of Jewish people as justified punishment for the actions of the Israeli government. The choice of words is deliberate

Criticizing the Israeli government and publicly stating that an act of terror is justified are two very different things, of which Harvard students know the difference
