The Surreal Difference Between Harvard and Columbia Protests
On Tuesday evening, as pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University were breaking the windows of Hamilton Hall, their Harvard counterparts posted a video on Instagram of students dancing in front of University Hall.
The video from the coalition “Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine” (HOOP rhymes with GOOP) features a guide walking through the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” showing off their “Art Build,” “Reading Center” and “spiritual and prayer space.”
The difference between the unrest at the two Ivy League schools is striking. As Columbia students risk arrest, Harvard students are risking a good night’s sleep.
