Privileged Yale Students Stage Anti-Israel Walkouts, Showcase Other Bratty Behavior at Commencement
“Yale’s campus has been a hot spot for anti-Israel protests for the past several weeks.”
The scene at Yale this weekend was disgraceful. Imagine having the privilege of attending Yale and acting out in this way.
FOX News reported:
Hundreds of students stage walkout from Yale graduation in anti-Israel protest
Hundreds of Yale graduates staged a walkout from the university’s graduation ceremony in Newhaven on Monday.
The protesting students could be seen waving Palestinian flags as well as banners demanding that the college “disclose and divest.” Anti-Israel protests have ravaged campuses across the country for weeks, forcing some universities to cancel their end-of-year ceremonies altogether.
The student protesters at Yale’s event walked out as diplomas were being handed out to graduates. The students also chanted “free Palestine” as Yale President Peter Salovey delivered his address.
“It is not enough to retreat into silos alongside those who are already inclined to agree with us. Nor is it effective to ostracize, call out, or shame or silence well-meaning others who do not,” Salovey said in his speech.
Students also waved Palestinian flags throughout the ceremony.
Yale’s campus has been a hot spot for anti-Israel protests for the past several weeks. Police made dozens of arrests in a series of operations aimed at clearing out encampments.
The protest at Yale mirrored disruptions at graduation and commencement ceremonies taking place across the country. Drexel University in Philadelphia was forced to go into lockdown on Monday due to a resurgence in protests.

The disruptive behavior was disgraceful. But it was not hundreds of Yale graduates who staged a walkout. About 150 students did that.
Also, it is highly misleading to claim the admittedly grossly inappropriate protest at Yale “mirrored disruptions” at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Drexel anti-Israel campus occupiers demanded that administrators “terminate” its chapters of both Hillel and Chabad, two Jewish student organizations. Nothing like that has been reported to have happened at Yale.
The antisemites wanted Hillel and Chabad disbanded and thrown off campus? WOW! Enough is enough! When organizations openly espouse THAT kind of hatred, it’s time for law enforcement to step in, because you know something criminal is just around the corner.
I agree that such demands reflect bare antisemitism, and might warrant some enquiries by Drexel and perhaps investigation by law enforcement agencies.
Salovey allowed it. He’s a turd. Thank God he’s leaving after 12 or so years. He’s destroyed much of the quality of Yale in that time.
What do you think Salovey or any representative should have done when this group of about 150 stood up and walked out?
gazians graduated to h ellll after their centuries of murdeous ways
