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.

Their actions hopefully are turning the pissed off graduates into conservatives.
UM used to get many Jewish scholars which made them academically strong. Im guessing they will go elsewhere now.
You’re correct on both counts.
Michigan has been a clear back up school for 3.0 students for awhile now.Waste of time. Get a Job.
I think they’re the same people
“I hear the antifafa troops are warming up as well.”
The noodle-arm antifa fascists were crushed in the spring of 2020 and are hiding in rat holes around Portland.
The videos I am sharing now got me kicked off Facebook 4 years ago.
If you want to understand the political and religious reasons that our campuses are being infiltrated by Hamas and Hizb’allah forces and the anti-Jew hatred is growing at an alarming rate, these videos will tell you what happened inside our political system and our colleges.
This is not a prophesy video, this is a national security briefing series of videos.
This is about 6 hours of video that I took in 2012, and it is perfectly applicable today.

Yep.
This isn’t about “From the river to the sea”, “Free Wakanda” or “Eco Trannies to save the whales”
These are commies and we are in the midst of a “color revolution” supported by our own feral gubmint.
My first impression-—
Everyone seems relieved they were permitted to have the chance to have their graduation ceremony without much worse happening and the whole thing canceled.
The once in a lifetime university graduation proudly in front of parents and relatives was allowed to them this time.
Absurd to have to be grateful for being spared for once.
Certainly any rational human being (not all Jews are rational, some may still support the commie/nazi/progressive cabal that seeks their extermination).... but for the millions of rational souls, yes... avoiding danger zones like UofM, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etcetera is the only sensible thing to do. And especially not to send their children or any money to these domestic Gazas.
Fortunately, there are still many good colleges without the danger or insult of Hamas mobs
RE Antifa.
They will someday face outlaws like Pee Wee Herman and me.
May as well give up now. I am also a loner and a rebel.

When Anonymous took over places in NYC the police and FBI had to admit “They have no headquarters and no leader and assitsant leaders so we have no way to just stop them.”
I was looking at a grad school at Michigan some years ago. they had exactly one scholar that was studying a topic that greatly interested me. he is still there. I am not there. I did not sign up because you could see even back then that there was an IslamoNazi danger brewing ....both on and off the very nice Ann Arbor campus.
I was prepared to defend myself and I had the means of doing so. But why bother when you can still go to many good colleges where this sort of filth is not present, or at least is not permitted to attack, intimidate, or threaten students
