Anti-Israel Student and Alumni Protesters Disrupt Commencement at Brown University
“No rest till Brown divests”
So much of this movement is about the chanting of stupid slogans which I am convinced many of the students don’t even understand.
The Times of Israel reports:
‘No rest till Brown divests’: Anti-Israel protesters interrupt university graduation
Anti-Israel protesters briefly disrupted an outdoor commencement address given by Brown University’s president in the United States on Sunday.
Shortly after Christina Paxson began, her speech was interrupted for several minutes by shouting as she told the graduates, “I would really like to give you your degrees.” She eventually resumed with some people continuing to shout.
“No rest till Brown divests,” the protesters chanted.
A group called Brown Alumni for Palestine said in a news release Sunday that it had led the disruption at the ceremony, where Paxson and the Brown Corporation were conferring diplomas to the graduating class.

When are we going to see counter-protestors supporting Israel?
Sorry, my bad. I forgot that Ivy Leaguers follow the crowd.
There is no doubt that this anti-Israel movement has been carefully crafted as the follow up to October 7. But they’ve overplayed their hand, irritating an awful lot of people on the sidelines, and therefore hardening opposition. PS – don’t tell them.
Alumni? Don’t hire any graduates from this school or they’ll keep trying to run your business based on ignorance and slogans.
