Israel-Hamas War: Pro-Palestinian Yale Student Plants Palestinian Flag on Menorah – TMZ
A pro-Palestinian student at Yale sought to co-opt the symbol of the traditional Jewish holiday by planting a Palestinian flag on a menorah.
The student scaled the large menorah, the symbol of Hanukkah, as others shouted, “Get the f ** k down!” and “It looks bad for us.”
One student is seen climbing up the menorah to remove the flag. The flag has now been taken down.
It’s the latest skirmish on college campuses around the country — particularly elite institutions of higher learning. As you know, the President of the University of Pennsylvania resigned Saturday after a wave of criticism over her testimony in Congress Monday, where she would not directly state that advocating for the genocide of Jews was bullying or harassment.
We had a free speech advocate on “TMZ Live” Friday, who agreed with the President of Univ. of Penn., but seemed to have a different perspective if the protesters were members of the KKK with a similar message against Black people.
