‘No rest till Brown divests’: Anti-Israel protesters interrupt university graduation
|
[IsraelTimes] College president’s speech briefly disrupted by alumni-led protest calling for it to divest from firms contributing to Israel’s war against Hamas
Anti-Israel protesters briefly disrupted an outdoor commencement address given by Brown University’s president in the United States on Sunday.
Shortly after Christina Paxson began, her speech was interrupted for several minutes by shouting as she told the graduates, "I would really like to give you your degrees." She eventually resumed with some people continuing to shout.
"No rest till Brown divests," the protesters chanted.
A group called Brown Alumni for Paleostine said in a news release Sunday that it had led the disruption at the ceremony, where Paxson and the Brown Corporation were conferring diplomas to the graduating class.
Brown Alumni for Paleostine said the group represents over 2,000 alumni who have pledged to withhold donations to the university until the corporation divests from companies allegedly contributing to or profiting from the conflict in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
The answer to that behaviour is to shut down the commencement and send everyone home. And repudiate the deal after the alumni allies of the school group broke it. Another group, the Rhode Island Coalition for Israel, said it had also organized a protest outside the ceremony. It said it had a plane fly a banner supporting Israel and the US-Israel alliance.
Regular anti-Israel and pro-Paleostinian demonstrations ceased earlier this month at a small number of US universities, including Brown, after school leaders struck deals with protesters, fending off possible disruptions of final exams and graduation ceremonies.
The agreements at schools including Brown, Northwestern and Rutgers stand out amid the chaotic scenes and campus arrests across the country since April 17. Tent encampments and building takeovers have disrupted classes at some schools, including Columbia in New York City and the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Los Angeles.
Deals included commitments by universities to review their investments in Israel or hear calls to stop doing business with the longtime US ally. Many protester demands have zeroed in on links to the Israeli military as the war grinds on in Gaza.
Pro-Paleostinian and anti-Israel protesters agreed to dismantle an encampment at Brown. School officials said students could present arguments for divesting Brown’s endowment from companies linked to the war in Gaza.
In addition, Paxson said she will ask an advisory committee to make a recommendation on divestment by September 30, which will be put before the school’s governing corporation for a vote in October.
