— Canary Mission (@canarymission) November 7, 2023The battle between Israel and Gaza has claimed nearly 10,000 lives; thus, there is increasing pressure on Israel to ease its limitations on Gaza. A discussion over whether kinds of protest are suitable during times of global upheaval has been triggered by the film featuring Larmond and Ward, who both have strong opinions on the subject.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to a rise in antisemitic incidents that affect Jewish communities worldwide. Heidi Beirich, a co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, is aware of the pattern of hate crimes that spike during conflicts in the Middle East. The current wave of violence, according to prominent extremism specialist Brian Levin, is the largest assault on the Jewish community since the Holocaust.

Kayla Larmond and Azali Ward Criticized on Social Media
Several X users reacted to the video on the internet. One user wrote, “Hmmm… does “diversity” also include views that aren’t pro-terrorist? This really makes me question the morals of anyone coming out of Fordham or Baruch. Raises questions about their work ethic, too.”
“How am I not surprised that the folks involved with DEI work are always these insane illiberal race grifters.” another user wrote.
One X user tweeted, “bizarre how none of the students or university people are enrolled in things like business or engineering.”
