Far left anti-Israel protesters disrupted a commencement ceremony at the University of Michigan yesterday, in a display that is sure to be repeated at other schools in the coming days and weeks.
These people are not trying to bring other people to their side. They are trying to intimidate others and ruin anything that is enjoyed by anyone, while making it all about them.
The Times of Israel reports:
Police disperse pro-Palestinian protesters after they interrupt University of Michigan commencementThe commencement ceremony University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance is interrupted by a pro-Palestinian protest, amid a wave of anti-Israel demonstrations on campuses across the United States.Video posted on social media shows a small group of masked students, some in hijabs, enter the theatre and walk through the audience holding Palestinian flags and signs reading “UM funds genocide” and “ACAB,” an anti-police slogans that stands for “all cops are bastards.”Some cheering can be heard from the crowd, while one man in the audience stands and shouts “get out!”…Police enter the hall as the third warning is screened, reading, “The disruption has continued despite two warnings. In an effort to continue the event, disruptors will now be escorted out.”Witnesses on social media say the interruption lasted a few minutes.
Watch:
Some people in the audience launched into chants of ‘USA!’
As I mentioned above, this is coming to a school near you. Columbia, which has been a hotbed for this behavior, is already having second thoughts about their commencement ceremony.
NBC News reports:
Columbia is rethinking its commencement ceremony in the wake of campus protestsColumbia University is rethinking its commencement plans after weeks of pro-Palestinian protests ended with authorities forcing their way into a barricaded school building and arresting dozens of people, according to a source at the university and two members of student government.The source at the university said the main commencement ceremony was slated to be canceled, but smaller events were still being planned.After a meeting with top university leaders Friday, two members of student government said administrators indicated they are not sure they can hold a commencement ceremony on the main Morningside Heights campus in Manhattan because of security concerns.It is unclear if final decisions have been made.
For these student protesters, shutting down or disrupting commencement ceremonies is an expression of power.
Any schools that cave to them are led by fools.
