A law student at New York University has lost a job offer because of her open support for recent terrorist attacks against Israel, which she called an apartheid regime bearing “full responsibility” for lives lost in the conflict.

Winston & Strawn, a Chicago-headquartered law firm, said it had decided to rescind its offer of employment to a student who published “inflammatory comments” in a message to the school’s student bar association.
