Nearly 200 Harvard students gathered on Widener steps on Monday afternoon to stage a 'die-in', demanding the university disclose and divest from companies linked to human rights abuses towards Palestinians. The protest, reported by @sallyedwards04 and @ASonnadJoshi, was part of the 'Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine' rally, featuring poetry by Refaat Alareer. The campus has seen antisemitic and anti-Palestinian posters, and poster vandalisms, intensifying divisions since the October 7 Hamas attack. Criticism comes from various quarters, including Rep. Stefanik, highlighting Harvard's antisemitism issues, and Rep. Carlos, condemning anti-Semitic displays by pro-Hamas groups. The EdWorkforceCmte criticized Harvard's inaction, citing a video by @ShabbosK. RepAaronBean noted the ongoing spread of antisemitism under the university's leadership. Additionally, protesters at New York's Jewish Museum disrupted a talk to protest an exhibition by Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky on the Hamas attack. In a related event, University of Manchester students protested against the school's ties with defense companies like BAE Systems, accused of complicity in Gaza's situation.

The appearance of antisemitic and anti-Palestinian posters on Harvard’s campus and a string of poster vandalisms have caused controversy on a campus already divided since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. @mnamponsah and @joycekim324 report. https://t.co/423xZY4VHe
Protesters disrupted a talk at New York’s Jewish Museum earlier this week to demonstrate against an exhibition of drawings by Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky about the October 7 Hamas attack. https://t.co/9sUiFkRmQv
Antisemitism at Harvard isn’t going away. Once again, we are seeing the university’s leadership facilitate the spread of antisemitism on their campus rather than condemn it. https://t.co/oWLx883sp0
Antisemitic posters appear at #Harvard - not clear who is responsible, but clear who is targeted. https://t.co/T0J7VbaqaQ
The latest example of antisemitic protests happening at Harvard. Instead of acknowledging and combating hate on its campus, Harvard's administration is endorsing it by doing nothing to stop it and obstructing the Committee's investigation. Video: @ShabbosK https://t.co/Tr2Ke7AtI9
Harvard University students were taught to chant in Arabic "from water to water, Palestine is Arab" yesterday during an anti-Israel protest on campus. WATCH: https://t.co/oERryBrbQE
🚨NEW: I entirely CONDEMN the latest displays of anti-Semitic hate by the pro-Hamas mob at Harvard. Claudine Gay may no longer be the University President, but @Harvard is continuing to FAIL its students by allowing this hate to strangle the institution. https://t.co/WfqLrvk4D3
Only a university as tone-deaf & dishonorable as @harvard could promise to clean up its rampant antisemitism problem while at the same time inviting @FranceskAlbs - who just justified Hamas’ October 7 slaughter - to talk about human rights. https://t.co/oO0D5Lqqis https://t.co/7wL1oxtiT1 https://t.co/hBZitSdvLN
.@Harvard still refuses to address the rot of antisemitism on campus & only further emphasizes the need for @EdWorkforceCmte's investigation. https://t.co/DPZbayMcJN
