Students at NYU and Columbia University organized alternative 'People's Graduation' ceremonies to honor pro-Palestine activism after official graduation ceremonies banned Palestinian symbols and activism. These alternative graduations aimed to provide a platform for marginalized voices and highlight solidarity with Palestinian causes. Pro-Palestinian students at Columbia University who were arrested for occupying a building in April rejected deals offered by the New York District Attorney, choosing instead to stand in solidarity with those facing harsher punishment. These actions follow protests and encampments that sprang up in support of Gaza, including the occupation of Hind’s Hall.

The pro-Pal squatters from @Columbia today calling for the release of the “Holy Land Foundation 5” prisoners. These were men who filtered $12 million to Hamas from the US. These idiotic kids are literal terrorist supporters. https://t.co/9bVvKmvGOo

Earlier this month, we learned that Abdallah Aljamal, a writer for the U.S. non-profit Palestine Chronicle, held three Israeli hostages in his home on behalf of Hamas. Coordination between U.S.-based non-profits and terrorists is illegal and beyond unacceptable.
