Maham Kashif

Maham Kashif expressed support for an anti-Israel student government resolution during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists, in March 2024. The resolution she supported at the Harvard University (Harvard) Law School (HLS) also promoted the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

As of April 4, 2024, Kashif was listed on the Harvard online directory as studying for an LLM degree at HLS. Her email indicated that she was slated to graduate in 2024. Harvard is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The incident occurred in the wake of Hamas terror atrocities and war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings and kidnappings, which were executed on October 7, 2023.

The Hamas terror attacks left over 1,200 Israelis dead, hundreds kidnapped and thousands wounded. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.”

Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Canada, European Union, Israel and other countries. Founded in 1987, it has killed thousands of Israeli civilians through mass shootings and suicide bombings. Hamas has also kidnapped children, families and the elderly and held them hostage in Gaza. It has desecrated [slide 7] dead bodies and launched numerous rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.

As of April 4, 2024, Kashif’s since-deleted LinkedIn profile said she was an online article editor at the Harvard Human Rights Journal (HHRJ).

As of the same date, Kashif was listed online as having graduated from the University of London (UofL) with a bachelor’s degree in law in 2021.

In August 2023, Kashif was listed [p. 105] as a research associate at the Centre for Human Rights (CFHR) at the School of Law, Universal College Lahore, which is in Lahore, Pakistan.

On March 29, 2024, Kashif reportedly expressed support for a student government resolution at HLS that promoted BDS and accused [p. 2] Israel of “ethnic cleansing” and of conducting a “genocidal campaign in Gaza” during its war against Hamas.

The resolution called [p. 2] on the Harvard Management Company (HMC) to “divest completely from weapons manufacturers, firms, academic programs, corporations, and all other institutions that aid the ongoing illegal occupation of Palestine and the genocide of Palestinians.”

Kashif reportedly reacted with a clapping hands emoji when one of the anti-Israel activists wrote in a group chat: “...brats are upset they didn’t get their way,” in response to Jewish students “raising concerns” over the student government resolution.

On Saturday, October 7, 2023, approximately 2,900 heavily armed Hamas terrorists breached Israel’s border with Gaza. They executed numerous war crimes on civilians, including mass murder, beheadings of children, rape of men and women, torture, kidnappings and mutilation.

Hamas broadcast videos of their butchery on social media, often to victims’ accounts for families to see. Israel retaliated with a war called “Swords of Iron.” As of November 10, 2023, approximately 1,200 Israelis, the vast majority of them civilians, were murdered during the attacks. Hamas kidnapped 242 Israelis, including at least 30 children. At least 3,500 people were wounded, many severely.

A terrorist detained by Israel admitted he raped an Israeli woman when he broke into a kibbutz house during the October 7, 2023 attack. In March 2024, a former hostage of Hamas publicly stated she was sexually abused and tortured while in captivity.
