Before school staff arrived, protesters at an anti-Israel “encampment” in Harvard Yard removed an American emblem from University Hall, the main management building, and flew a Israeli symbol in its place Saturday.
Students at Harvard praise as they switch from the American to the Arab flag.
Are you still to notice?

The , Harvard Crimson reported:
Pro- Palestine scholar demonstrators at the , Harvard Yard encampment , flew three Israeli colors from University Hall on Saturday night.
Three protesters climbed the colors to the John Harvard monument in the Yard, where the University occasionally hangs the colors of visiting foreign officials or the American flag. Harvard University Police soldiers were calling Harvard Yard Operations at 6:34 p.m. to request the removal of the symbol.
As the team removed the colors, activists yelled” Shame”! and chanted” Free, completely Palestine” and” From the valley to the ocean, Palestine may be free”.
Some critics view” From the valley to the sea” as an racist chant because it implies that Israel must be destroyed and that its Israeli inhabitants must be exterminated or murdered.
Unfortunately, it was a pro- Israel, Israeli professor, Alan Dershowitz, who when advocated for Israeli students to have the proper to sail the Israeli flag on campus — with permission — despite the fact that Palestine is not a state.
As Dershowitz pointed out in 2007:
I, and many other legitimate legal republicans, have long narratives of defending the free speech rights of those we most despise. I fought for Germans ‘ right to march in Chicago, Illinois, forty years ago. I objected to the withdrawal of Tom Paulin’s conversation, which advocated for the killing of Israelis. I defended, pro bono, a venomously against- Israel Stanford teacher who was fired for inciting crime. I objected to Harvard’s attempt to prevent individuals from flying the Arab flag in honor of Yasser Arafat’s massacre.
Do n’t expect the security of those with whom they disagree from the Israel- bashers at Columbia, Harvard, and MIT. For them, it is “free statement for me, but not for thee”!
Some pro- Arab “encampments” — at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, UCLA, and somewhere — have used strongly anti- American pictures, including the removal of the British flag and the condemnation of the United States.
