Pro-Palestinian protesters at Harvard University displayed three Palestinian flags atop Harvard University’s University Hall, The Crimson reported.
A spokesperson from Harvard informed the New York Post that the flags raised by the demonstrators were subsequently taken down by the university’s facilities staff. They emphasized that such actions contravene university regulations, and those implicated will face disciplinary measures.
The expression of pro-Palestinian sentiments has gained traction among students at various prestigious institutions, spanning from Columbia University in New York City to Washington University in St. Louis.
According to accounts from The Crimson, during the removal of the Palestinian flags by Harvard personnel, protesters voiced their discontent through chants such as “Shame,” “Free, free Palestine,” and “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
Ordinarily, Harvard displays the American flag throughout the weekdays, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., after which it is carefully taken down “for proper storage.”
