'Zionist Nazi': Pro-Palestinian protest disrupts graduation ceremony at Hunter College [View all]

The event, held in Manhattan and part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, turned into a demonstration as students displayed Palestinian flags, chanted slogans and held signs calling for the school to divest from Israel. The protest erupted as the dean began her speech, with demonstrators shouting and some ascending the stage wearing keffiyehs.

Noriel Gedalia, a 70-year-old Israeli-American from New Jersey, attended the ceremony with his wife to celebrate his daughter’s graduation. “It was simply horrifying,” he told Ynet, an Israeli news outlet. “Pro-Palestinian students disrupted the ceremony, went on stage, and the administration did nothing to stop it. I started filming like they do, and it nearly turned violent.”

Gedalia said the protest had been widely expected, with student organizers announcing plans in advance. When the protest began, he said at least half the students in the hall clapped in support, while university officials allowed the program to continue without interruption.
“The dean acknowledged the differing opinions in her speech and continued as if nothing had happened,” Gedalia said. “That’s what shocked me the most.”

"Differing opinions". This is what normalizing antisemitism looks like.

The Jewish guy who sprouted a bunch of trump nonsense in the article that you posted. Eko May 31 #25
The article is based on a disrupted graduation event, not on what a dump supporter is saying. That's why it stays. Beastly Boy May 31 #28
I never claimed you were violating DU terms. Eko May 31 #29
It is I who is trying hard to not violate DU terms of use when describing the stuff you keep making up about me. Beastly Boy May 31 #30

It was a disruption of a graduation event while college officials were standing by and doing nothing about it. Beastly Boy May 31 #37
Solely on the words of a dump supporter. Eko May 31 #39
And the description by the reporter, and the attached video. Beastly Boy May 31 #42

Half of them were clapping for the protestors, is that doing nothing?. Why are you neglecting to mention that? Eko May 31 #40
I mean, once again, the only negative parts of this are from a dump supporter. You sure you want to keep this post up? Eko May 31 #41
From the bottom of my heart I do want to thank you for sharing the rantings of a crazy dump supporter. Eko May 31 #33
Ok, by now we all know what a strawman argument looks like. No need to beat a dead horse. Beastly Boy May 31 #36
Nope, strawman is attacking the person, I showed their positions and attacked that, try again. Why did you post this? Eko May 31 #38
