A student group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has made a bold statement following the dismantling of an anti-Israel encampment on campus. The MIT Coalition Against Apartheid declared that 'you cannot suspend the movement' and vowed that 'we will be back'.
The group took to Instagram to express their support for the student organizers, praising them as 'wonderful and brave'. They also shared a video of the tent city before it was taken down.
In their statement, the group accused MIT of being complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people, alleging that the university manufactures killer drones that harm innocent children. They emphasized their commitment to the cause of a free Palestine, stating that they 'will not back down'.
Organizers of the encampment reported that 10 people were detained during the protest on Friday. The group's actions have sparked discussions on campus and beyond about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of universities in addressing such contentious issues.
