Anti-Israel activists planning ‘day of rage for Gaza’ to take place in New York City

A “Citywide Day of Rage for Gaza” has been planned by anti-Israel activists at Columbia University and Hunter College in New York City. The coalition announced the event before Columbia said Monday that it would cancel its university-wide commencement ceremony.

The Columbia University event, scheduled to start at 4 p.m. local time at the cross streets of Columbia’s Morningside campus, was planned by Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which describes itself as a coalition of nearly 100 student groups “that see Palestine as the vanguard for our collective liberation” and a “continuation of the Vietnam anti-war movement.”

Just The News reports flyers have been distributed:

The Within Our Lifetime flyer describes the event as a “CITYWIDE DAY OF RAGE FOR GAZA: From The Encampments To The Streets,” referring to the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” that started at Columbia and sparked similar protest camps at schools nationwide.

The event at Hunter College, part of the City University of New York system, is scheduled for 5 p.m. at cross streets outside of the Upper East Side school. That event is being planned by Within Our Lifetime, an anti-Zionist group that says it supports “the right of Palestinians as colonized people to resist the zionist occupation by any means necessary,” as well as “the right of all oppressed nationality people in the United States and around the world to engage in all forms of struggle.”
