Harvard Students Prop Up Tents to Protest Israel-Hamas War

An encampment of pro-Palestinian students have set up camp at the Ivy League research university Harvard to protest against the institution’s involvement with companies that sell weapons to Israel and the Monday suspension of the undergraduate group Harvard College Palestine Solidarity Committee.

According to the university’s student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, the group was suspended after violating protest guidelines during a campus demonstration in the Harvard Yard last week.
