On Wednesday, the second evening of Passover, anti-Israel protesters marched into Harvard Yard, setting up an camp and chanting “intifada revolution,” provoking an angry response from Israeli officials concerned for the safety of students.

Just yesterday, Harvard University placed the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee ( PSC ) under suspension. Less than 24 hours later, individuals launched a Gaza cooperation camp.

Hirschy Zarchi, a pastor from Harvard Chabad, wrote a declaration on Instagram:
I’m hearing from first-year individuals who are facing terrifying chants of export the Intifada, a visit for the death of Jews, while studying for exams in their dorm room. Their kids are frightened to learn that Hamas supporters are being permitted to camp out in Harvard Yard in blatant defiance of the school’s explicit instructions and are chanting in support of violence and call for the death of Jews.
Along with Zionists from all over the world, we spent the next two nights reading the words of the Easter Haggadah at the Harvard Chabad Seder stand.
how” they rise up against us to kill us in each and every century.” And the Holy One, blessed become He, rescue us from their fingers”. As we heard from Hamas now, the fact that those who want the loss of the Jewish people are receiving help from Harvard students and other college students around the country should shake every social individual to their core.We urge school management to expunge these Jew-haters and Hamas lovers, who continue to blatantly and consistently violate the university code of conduct as well as their own humanity.
Prior to this week, Harvard had locked the historical Yard’s doors, making it difficult for visitors to use Harvard IDs. On Wednesday, there were enough of them to begin a planned implementation of tents and other camping gear.
The protesters were reportedly upset about the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee’s ( PSC ) suspension for earlier, unapproved protests, in addition to demanding that Harvard divest from Israeli companies.
The PSC was suspended for a rally last Friday in cooperation with anti-Israel students at Columbia University, as Breitbart News reported earlier this year. It was informed that the organization may be prohibited if more violations were to occur.
The , Harvard Crimson , noted , that school officials asked the demonstrators to keep silent between the time of 11: 00 p. m. and 7: 00 a. m. Activists even warned each other about automated sprinkler set to go off during the night.
