New York University’s Law School Bar Association president has sent an email saying that Hamas’ slaughter of children in Israel was ‘necessary.’
Ryna Workman, 24, a non-binary student at NYU’s School of Law sent a weekly newsletter saying that the murder of innocent Israeli children, women, and citizens this past week was is Israel’s ‘full responsibility.’
Workman, from Simpsonville, South Carolina, also refused to condemn Hamas – an internationally-recognized terrorist group who have triggered the all-out war.
President Biden today called their actions ‘pure, unadulterated evil.’
As well as studying at NYU, Ryna completed their undergraduate degree at the University of South Carolina and also studied at the University of Warwick in the UK on an exchange program – where they took classes in international law.

Workman, who goes by the pronouns they/them, wrote in a weekly newsletter to fellow Student Bar Association students: ‘Hi y’all.
‘This week, I want to express, first and foremost, my unwavering and absolute solidarity with Palestinians in their resistance against oppression toward liberation and self-determination.
‘Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life.
‘This regime of state-sanctioned violence created the conditions that made resistance necessary.’
Referencing violent terrorist group Hamas, who have murdered innocent Israeli children, Workman said: ‘I will not condemn Palestinian resistance.’
Workman has worked as a summer associate for two years at Winston & Strawn.
They continued in the email: ‘I condemn the violence of apartheid. I condemn the violence of settler colonialism. I condemn the violence of military occupation. I condemn the violence of dispossession and stolen homes. I condemn the violence of trapping thousands in an open-air prison.
‘I condemn the violence of collective punishment. I condemn the violence of phosphorous bombs. I condemn the violence of the United States military-industrial complex. I condemn the violence of obfuscating genocide as a “complex issue.”
‘I condemn the violence in labeling oppressed people as “animals.” I condemn the violence in removing hospital context. I condemn the violence of silence. Palestine will be free.’
The newsletter was signed off: ‘Your SBA President, Ryna.’
New York University told DailyMail.com that Workman’s statement ‘does not in any way reflect the point of view of NYU.’

The university’s spokesperson John Beckman added: ‘Acts of terrorism are immoral. The indiscriminate killing of civilians and hostage-taking, including children and the elderly, is reprehensible. Blaming victims of terrorism for their own deaths is wrong.’
NYU’s Law School Dean Troy McKenzie also said: ‘This message was not from NYU School of Law as an institution and does not speak for the leadership of the Law School.
‘It certainly does not express my own views, because I condemn the killing of civilians and acts of terrorism as always reprehensible.’

The student bragged on their social media that they ’embrace organizing for what’s right and push for real change in my community.’
Workman said that they: ‘Push for economic justice, anti-racism, and gender equality.’
The student said they want to ‘become someone who breaks down systems to help make the world we live in more equitable. I hope to continue to be an advocate for underserved and minority communities.’

This comes after students at several Ivy League institutions, including Harvard and Columbia, condemned Israel after the war broke out.
Students at Stanford University also showed their support for Hamas as they hung bedsheets with slogans from their dorms.
A group of 31 Harvard organizations, including its branch of Amnesty International, has placed the blame on Israel for Hamas’ brutal, surprise attack.
The organizations released a letter to the public as a ‘Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine’ on Sunday to condemn Israel in the wake of the violence.
They said that Hamas’ attacks, which are still ongoing, ‘did not happen in a vacuum’ and the Israeli government has forced Palestinians to live in ‘an open-air prison for over two decades.’
‘We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,’ the groups wrote.
A student organization from Columbia has joined in the chorus of equivocation by calling the terrorism a ‘counter-offensive.’
The Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine said: ‘The weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government and other Western governments,’ the statement, which was also signed by a group named Jewish Voice for Peace, read.

Workman’s statement – just one of many student organizations refusing to condemn Hamas – comes just hours after reports surfaced that the terrorists massacred at least 40 babies and young children during an attack in a small kibbutz in Israel.
The bullet-riddled bodies of Israeli residents now lay on the ground among burned out houses, strewn furniture and torched cars. Solemn Israeli soldiers today went from house to house to take away the scores of people massacred there.
The death toll among Israelis now stands at over 1,000 – making it the single largest massacre of Jewish people since Hitler’s Holocaust.
Israel and the IDF’s counteroffensive have also caused mass fatalities in Gaza after a ‘complete siege’ of the region was ordered.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said authorities will cut electricity to the Gaza Strip and block the entry of food and fuel, declaring his troops are ‘fighting barbaric [terrorists] and will respond accordingly’.
The airstrikes have so far flattened many towns in the Palestinian enclave’s north-east corner, which Hamas terrorists had been using as a staging ground for their attacks.
The war was started by Hamas in the early hours of Saturday morning, during the Jewish high holiday of Simchat Torah.
Terrorists massacred 260 Israeli revelers at a festival in a hail of bullets, with survivors describing how the gunmen went ‘tree by tree’ executing victims.

Many lay still in sheer terror for more than five hours before they heard the sound of armed rescuers speaking in Hebrew.
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden delivered a dramatic address promising to stand with Israel and denouncing the ‘unadulterated evil’ of terrorist attacks who killed more than 1,000 people, including 14 Americans, at the weekend.
Biden’s remarks come three full days since he put out a short video following the initial attack Saturday. He has been criticized for a sluggish response to the crisis, hosting a barbecue for staff on Sunday and not appearing in public on Monday.
But he broke his silence with a speech dripping with anger at the horrors unleashed by Hamas terrorists and warned that U.S. citizens were also among civilians captured.
‘You know there are moments in this life — I mean this literally — when a pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world,’ he said, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
‘The people of Israel, lived through one such moment this weekend.’
