Harvard Students Chant 'Palestine Is Arab' During On-Campus Protest - "Anti-Semitism is not a problem at Harvard, it is quite literally a feature", student Shabbos Kestenbaum told The Daily Wire

Harvard University students chanted “Palestine is Arab” on Monday
during an “emergency die-in” protest this week on the Widener Library
steps, the latest radical anti-Israel protest at the Ivy League
institution.

A student organizer taught students a chant in Arabic which translates
to “from water to water, Palestine is Arab,” according to video
obtained by The Daily Wire of the protest. It is a more extreme
variation of the “from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free”
chant often used by pro-Palestinian radicals in cities across the
United States, and is likewise seen as a call for ethnic cleansing of
the Jewish and other non-Arab populations that live in Israel.

The event was co-hosted by several Harvard student groups and consisted
of students chanting and then laying on the stairs.

“As of 2:30 am, hundreds of people have been martyred or injured by
Israeli attacks on Gaza’s last “safe zone,” the Harvard Palestine
Solidarity Committee student group posted to Instagram advertising the
event. “Harvard has bankrolled this action with its hundreds of
millions of dollars in funding for companies complicit in Israeli
apartheid, making us as students complicit.”

Harvard student Shabbos Kestenbaum, who is currently suing the school
for enabling anti-semitism, told The Daily Wire that the chant is part
of a bigger pattern of anti-Semitsm at Harvard.

“In the last two weeks, I have had a Harvard employee taunt me with a
machete, been removed without warning from a Harvard student forum for
suggesting students pressure Hamas to release kidnapped babies, had to
walk through an unsanctioned protest with people yelling ‘Palestine
will be Arab’ on my way to class, been ignored by Harvard’s DEI
committee have anti-Semites being promoted as guest lectures in class,
and more,” he told The Daily Wire.

“Anti-Semitism is not a problem at Harvard, it is quite literally a
feature,” he added.

Harvard University has been under mounting criticism for its response
to Hamas’ massacre, including the university parting ways with its
former president, Claudine Gay, as she dealt with backlash over her
public statements about combatting antisemitism on campus.

Anti-Israel Harvard groups hosted a similar protest last week that was
interrupted by Korean Christians who blasted worship music and loudly
defended Israel as the students chanted “from the river to the sea.”

“What is happening at Harvard right now is something that is not
normal,” the group’s pastor Joseph Kim said through a translator on a
blaring microphone next to the anti-Israel protest. “Harvard is broken
down, and so liberal…so we’re here to actually heal that.”
