Students and alumni gathered for a vigil supporting Israel in the Boston area. Here's what they have to say about pro-Palestinian comments from the academic community.
Jewish students in the Boston area said they're 'stunned' by anti-Israeli sentiment being shared across the country. 'I'm not scared,' said Zev, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology student who previously lived in Israel, of the environment in Massachusetts. But 'we're aware of the animosity and the pure hate that exists.' About 200 students and community members from Boston-area colleges gathered at MIT Tuesday night for a vigil supporting Israel.
Thirty-four student organizations justified 'terrorist attacks, beheadings of children, shooting teenagers in the back while they're at a music festival.' Nearly three dozen Harvard student organizations signed onto a statement released Saturday declaring Israel 'entirely responsible' for the terror that resulted in the deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust. As of Tuesday night, at least five of the groups had rescinded their signatures.
