Yale Student Protests: Pro-Terrorist Positions Fostered by Campus Culture

There have been many articles of late outlining the, shall we say, mixed responses on college campuses to Hamas’s attack on Israel. The Ivy League has hogged the spotlight in this matter: From an assault on an Israeli student at Columbia to the justification of terrorism by dozens of Harvard student groups, the list of pro-Hamas displays within the ivory tower is long. Loath to be outshone by other, lesser institutions, Yale University has hosted its own headlining events.

In an Instagram post, Yalies 4 Palestine (an official student organization at Yale with a self-explanatory name) advertised a pro-Hamas rally in downtown New Haven. The graphic read: “On Indigenous People’s Day –– All out for Palestine!” Yalies 4 Palestine originally captioned the post (since edited): “We call on our allies and the Yale community to celebrate the resistance’s success, uplift their calls, and march this Monday October 9 at 3pm at New Haven City Hall.”
