Apparently, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is not immune to the madness we are seeing unfold on college campuses in recent weeks.
Pro-Hamas students recently held a campus rally, chanting ‘one solution’ and ‘intifada,’ horrifying Israeli students at the school.
FOX News reports:
Israeli MIT students ‘terrified’ after anti-Israel rally chant calls for ‘one solution, intifada’Israeli students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they are “terrified” to be on campus after participants at a campus protest chanted “one solution, intifada, revolution” at a rally supporting the devastating Hamas terrorist attacks that killed hundreds of Israelis in Israel.MIT students Liyam Chitayat and Lior Alon told Fox News Digital in interviews that after they contacted MIT’s administration to report the calls to violence being chanted from the protest and for concern for their own safety, they’ve yet to receive a substantial response.Chitayat, a 19-year-old pursuing a Ph.D. on a prestigious scholarship and who previously served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), describes the rally cry as a call for the murder of Jews and the demolition of Israel.”Intifada is not a call for resistance. Intifada is the name of acts of bombing and killing civilians in Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict. It’s the name of taking civilian lives in terrorist attacks in Israel. That is what intifada means. That is how it’s defined,” she said…The recent protest rally at MIT was held by several student groups, including MIT Coalition Against Apartheid. That group issued a statement the day after the Hamas attacks of Oct. 7, saying they “hold the Israeli regime responsible for all unfolding violence.”

Here’s another angle:
Based on this account from another student, the school is not taking this threat seriously.
From the FOX News report:
Lior Alon, an Israeli post-doctoral student at MIT, said the “intifada” chants were an escalation from a rally simply supporting a political view of the Middle East conflict.”This is not even related to what happens in Israel. That is calling for a terror attack here. A huge group of people calling out loud for terror attacks,” Alon said.Alon said he called MIT police to report the calls for violence, and they suggested that if he were “offended” he should file a report with the school, leaving Alon in disbelief.
