Competing Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestine Demonstrations Raise Tensions on College Campuses

HeadlineOct 13, 2023

Here in New York, Columbia University closed its campus to the public Thursday in response to two separate demonstrations led by pro-Palestine and pro-Israel student groups. In Massachusetts, the names and photos of several Harvard students who signed a pro-Palestinian letter were displayed on a billboard truck on campus Wednesday with a banner that read “Harvard’s Leading Antisemites.” Some of their names and personal information were also posted online. That action was organized by the ultraconservative nonprofit Accuracy in Media.
