On October 8, 2023, following the onset of the Israel–Hamas war after the Hamas-led attack on Israel, several Harvard undergraduate student groups signed a letter condemning the Israeli state. The statement held the "Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence," declared that millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been "forced to live in an open-air prison," and called on Harvard to "take action to stop the ongoing annihilation of Palestinians."
In response, Ackman called for the publication of the names of all students involved in signing the letter so that he could ensure his company and others do not "inadvertently hire" any of the signatories. Ackman posted, "One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists," and the names "should be made public so their views are publicly known".[84] Ackman's stance was supported by other CEOs such as Jonathan Neman, David Duel and Jake Wurzak.[85] Former Harvard president Lawrence Summers, though agreeing with Ackman on the need to look at employees' political views, called Ackman's request for a list of names "the stuff of Joe McCarthy".[86]
