Harvard Fellow Incites Controversy

A visiting scholar at Harvard's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs has recently come under fire for making comments earlier this month advocating cuts in certain subsistence aid to Palestinians in order to curb extremism.

Martin S. Kramer--who is currently a visiting fellow with the Weatherhead Center's National Security Studies Program--said at the Herzliya Conference in Israel on Feb. 3 that Western countries should cease providing "pro-natal subsidies"--such as food and funding for refugee children's education--to Palestinian refugees.
