Protesters at an anti-Israel “encampment” in Harvard Yard removed an American flag from University Hall, the central administration building, and flew a Palestinian flag in its place Saturday before university staff intervened.
The Harvard Crimson reported:
Pro-Palestine student protesters at the Harvard Yard encampment flew three Palestinian flags from University Hall on Saturday evening.
A group of three protesters hoisted the flags over the John Harvard statue in the Yard, where the University sometimes flies the American flag or flags of the countries of visiting foreign dignitaries. As of 6:34 p.m., Harvard University Police officers were calling Harvard Yard Operations to remove the flag.

I was just thinking the same thing. What the heck is an American flag flying there for? Is this a practical joke?
For some reason, I feel like I’m reliving the 60’s and the demonstrations in Chicago.

The University of Washington Cancer Research Center has had the Palestinian flag displayed right under the US flag for weeks, right in their main entrance.
Right?
Time to sell Harvard to someone who cares.
Reminds me of the old Li’l Abner comic strip from 1966 in which the Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything (S.W.I.N.E.) take over the campus.
The terrified University Regents sell the University to the Mafia who brings in the mob enforcers.
Here come the SWINE protesting!
I still get a thrill remembering how the leader of the S.W.I.N.E. used his front teeth to assault the brass knuckles of the mob enforcers. Who says brass won’t make a spark! These did. Big ones at that!
I suppose the NCAA will be encouraging the athletic departments this coming season to sing the Hamass Nat’L Anthem before all events.
One day they will do this in front of an AMERICAN.
I HOPE it’s a MARINE !!!
There is a reason MARINES USED TO WEAR GARRISON BELTS !
From the source:
“A group of three protesters hoisted the flags over the John Harvard statue in the Yard, where the University sometimes flies the American flag or flags of the countries of visiting foreign dignitaries. As of 6:34 p.m., Harvard University Police officers were calling Harvard Yard Operations to remove the flag.
As the staff removed the flags, protesters yelled “Shame!” and chanted “Free, free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
As the campus services Harvard staff member walked away with the Palestinian flags and two HUPD police officers, a student protester on the steps of University Hall attempted to grab the flags from the facilities staffer. Surrounding protesters immediately urged him to stop.
The protester declined to comment.
In a statement Saturday evening, Harvard spokesperson Jonathan L. Swain wrote that raising the flags was “a violation of University policy and the individuals involved will be subject to disciplinary action.”
Use rubber bullets, bbs, or rock salt against first timers
"Throw the Jew down the well...."
Indeed.
Yes.
People are watching the future of all the institutions.
Just like the BLM and LGBT fervour on campus in 2015 forecast corporate and institutional America in 2020 and after.
For some reason, I feel like I’m reliving the 60’s and the demonstrations in Chicago.

Aren’t these so called students supposed to be in classes and studying for finals next week or so?
All this for $90k a yr.
Water hoses are nice too. These students camping out need a shower.
the sooner these fools destroy the ivys and the rest of the marxist factory universities the better! ... i’m hoping they have the staying power to shut all of them down permanently ...
Were they chanting, Biden, Biden, Biden?
I hope so.
Most flagpoles on campuses have locks on them. Maybe campus police don’t have keys to those locks.
Hell I’ll say it, those three protestors should have been beaten with 36oz rock maple baseball bats.
Damned shame if they survived.
All these “protestors” need taught a painful lesson GOOD AND HARD!
