The wave of anti-Israeli protests on college campuses across the United States continued over the weekend, with two demonstrations briefly interrupting graduation proceedings at the University of Michigan.
Dozens of protesters wearing keffiyehs and graduation caps held up Palestinian flags and marched down the center aisle toward the stage at Michigan Stadium during Saturday morning’s commencement, CBS News reported.
As a speaker invited the crowd to join the school’s “Go Blue” chant, the demonstrators hit back with cries of “Regents, regents, you can’t hide! You are funding genocide,” according to the New York Times.
A plane bearing the messages “Divest from Israel now! Free Palestine!” flew around the stadium, while a counterprotest plane with a banner that read, “We stand with Israel. Jewish lives matter” also passed by, CBS News reported.
“You are ruining our graduation,” one person in the audience was heard retorting as the school police forced the protesters to move to the back of the venue, according to the Times.
Some pro-Israel protesters sitting in private boxes hung Israeli flags from their booths, the outlet said.
The graduation demonstration came the day after a group of protesters walked through the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance commencement ceremony with Palestinian flags and signs that read “UM funds genocide,” according to a video shared by reporter Thad Green.

It used to be a very good college before it imported the Mideast ETM rabble
How can graduation be on May 4th? On the other hand, it doesn’t take a long school year to learn to be useless.
Higher ed tuition is a scam to bilk the economy.
Appears the youth wing of the communist party is growing ?.
Terrorist Sympathizers Matter
...wait until you find out what that $150,000 degree in hate whitey or gender studies is worth.
Nice! More Trump voters created. Great state to do it in.
“I hear the antifafa troops are warming up as well.”
Antifa has been notoriously absent from these protests probably because that organization was started by pro-commie Jews and still consists of many Jewish members today.
The Original ‘Antifa’ Was A Jewish Anti-Nazi Militia

True
(A bit mean, but spot on. Ha!)
I considered taking a degree there. It was one of several schools with a scholar doing research I was interested in. I’m sure glad I didn’t go to U of Michigan !! It is overrun by these badturds
University of muzzigan where young Americans march behind the flag of a Muslim terrorist state that holds Americans hostage. Most worrisome aspect is that the university’s graduates become leaders that lay the foundation of America’s future traitors,saboteurs and imams.
Way to endear themselves to the audience they are trying to sway. Idiots. The college kids are catching on.
When universities adopted D.I.E. propaganda, "higher ed" became "lowest ed."
These universities' academic accreditation should be revoked.
I would disagree. Looking at the members of these protests, there are many dressed the Antifa way. Specifically, black hoodies, black backpacks and masks and other assorted stuff.
The same characters were present at J6 but were never reported on.......
Awww! Should have thought about that when you supported burning the country down for woke. It’s ending the same place it always ends. It wasn’t about woke. It was about power, and the more you give them the more they will want to take.
They know that and that’s exactly the point.
People need to wake up and realize that antifa goons DO. NOT. CARE. a out us and our lives and what we like and don’t like.
Matter of fact, like any bully, if you let them know it bothers you, they’ll double down and you’ll get even more of the same. Their satisfaction is knowing they get your goat.
Aside from arresting them pronto, the best thing to do is ignore them.
I’ll bet antifa is behind it.
They’re just laying low.
Send the Jew haters to Tehran see how long they last
Exactly. They just change costumes depending on the “oppression” du jour. Black clad Pantyfa is so yesterday....they’ve moved on to wearing Covid masks with their “support” keffiyehs. Do try to keep up.... 😆
Which may be irrelevant if voting becomes obsolete. We may be about to witness that.
