Protesters Remove American Flag, Raise Palestinian Flag in Harvard Yard

On Saturday, participants in an anti-Israel “camp” in Harvard Yards removed the American flag from University Hall, the central administration building, and replaced it with a Palestinian flag before university officials intervened.

Pro-Palestinian student demonstrators Harvard Yard encampment Three Palestinian flags were hoisted from University Hall on Saturday night.

A group of three protesters hoisted a national flag over the statue of John Harvard University in the school grounds, which sometimes displays American flags and flags from countries visited by foreign dignitaries. As of 6:34 p.m., Harvard University police officers had called Harvard University Yards Operations to remove the flag.

When staff removed the flag, participants shouted, “Shame on you!” They chanted, “Free Palestine, free Palestine,” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

“From the River to the Sea” is considered by many critics to be an anti-Semitic chant, as it alludes to the destruction of Israel and the removal or murder of its Jewish population.

Ironically, it was Alan Dar, a pro-Israel Jewish professor, who once advocated for the right of Palestinian students to fly the Palestinian flag on campus with permission, despite the fact that Palestine is not a state. It was Showitz.

role of Dershowitz I remembered In 2007:

I and many other true civil libertarians have a long history of defending the free speech rights of those we despise the most. Forty years ago, I supported the right of Nazis to march in Skokie, Illinois. I opposed the cancellation of Tom Paulin’s speech in which he advocated the killing of Israelis. I defended, pro bono, a virulently anti-Israel professor at Stanford University who was fired for inciting violence. I opposed Harvard University’s attempt to prevent students from displaying the Palestinian flag to commemorate the death of mass murderer Yasser Arafat.

Don’t expect the Israel bashers at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to defend those with whom you disagree. To them, it’s “free speech for me, but not for you!”

Many pro-Palestinian “camps” such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and UCLA have used overtly anti-American imagery, such as removing the American flag and denouncing the United States.
