Hundreds of Stanford Students Walk Out of Commencement in Anti-Israel Protest
“The school has been mired in controversy as students have publicly demonstrated against the Israel-Hamas war and called on the college to divest from its links with Israel.”
They think they’re so stunning, so brave, so morally superior. They’re idiots.
The Daily Mail reported:
Stanford University graduation chaos as HUNDREDS of students waving Palestinian flags and keffiyehs walk out during President Richard Saller’s speech
Stanford University’s graduation ceremony on Sunday was thrown into chaos after students staged a pro-Palestine protest and walked out.
Around five hundred students, some wearing keffiyehs and holding Palestinian flags, walked out of the stadium during the President’s address, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
‘This morning we want to celebrate your achievements in spite of the troubled environment,’ President Richard Saller told the students moments before the mass walkout.
The school has been mired in controversy as students have publicly demonstrated against the Israel-Hamas war and called on the college to divest from its links with Israel.
A pro-Palestine encampment remained on campus for more than 100 days and thirteen students were eventually arrested during its removal.
Footage from the ceremony posted to social media shows students in their caps and gowns walking from their seats away from the speaker’s stage and towards the back of the stadium.
One student was seen holding up a sign reading ‘Free Palestine. Stanford Divest!’
Some in the stands cheered the students as they left the event, while other students remained seated.
The walkout was reportedly organised by the activist group Stanford Against Apartheid in Palestine.
~300 students walk out of Stanford’s graduation in support of Palestine
It’s hard to expect more from a generation that spent their high school on TikTok and their college on zoom
And next year’s class is the first that didn’t require the SAT/ACT…

They are just doing what they’ve been indoctrinated to do by their activist instructors.
This then is the test of our time. Who will resist and have a righteous moral compass? No excuses for them.
Well, if they walk out then I guess they don’t want their degrees. The University should refuse to release them and let those spoiled children do it somewhere else without any credits so start fresh.
People are watching. These very same people work for corporations, law firms, medical schools. Do they want these brats in their organizations? I don’t think so.
Hey kids? Can ya hear me?
Listen:
If you’re on the side of the folks who kidnap children
then you’re on the wrong side.
Ok?
when told that many companies that do business with Israel are for
pharma and technology etc
and could help them and their families
the n azis said they didnt care about that
they have a cause that makes them feel important
I will applaud them if all these brave protesters publish a list of their names!
I’d be sure to hire someone else, but I would applaud them for having the courage of their convictions. And maybe there are employers who would prefer those who walked out. Let’s sort out who is on which side.
