Ban foreign lobbying groups. Ban AIPAC.

[solarpaneling]

Harvard degree is a very elitist expensive piece of paper.

[pftfrfu]

I would be proud if my student son or daughter walked out. Genocide is wrong.

[alwaysbekindlove]

Intelligence without courage is futile.

[chadskogfeldt]

They should remove absolutely all the funding from these institutions
They're violating title 6

[Alex-edvj]

At least the students (and some faculty) in the USA have a conscience. It makes me regain faith in humankind! At least the AIPACTcorrupt politicians are called out (if they cannot be stopped)

[ayesha]

Proud of this generation that condemns war. This thought is human but how the educationists forget this? its a shame .

[lmsteller]

I think more and more people are going to think twice about IVY LEAGUE EDUCATIONS!

[SA-yeln]

This is a great test for democracy. Will the American politicians continue taking money from the lobbyists or allow a democratic system to repair itself.

[ogwtlej]

These disrupting students should also lose their ability to graduate and get a diploma. What a bunch of self-entitled brats. There are actually students who saw this ceremony as meaningful. They also had family travel at great distance and cost to see their loved one graduate. How much did the parents sacrifice to send their child to Harvard? This generation has become self-centered and entitled, and these protests are one such example. There is a time and place for protesting, and this convocation was not one of them.

Impressive numbers untill one realizes 32, 000 attend Harvard Commencement.

[chadskogfeldt]

I am so proud of every single one of them exposing themselves to the world for being indoctrinated and not educated

[book]

Will thy give up their diplomas?otherwise it is just am empty ploy

[hans]

Keep sending your hard-earned money to your rich politicians, rich foreign politicians and rich military contractors. US citizens will always come last. Sadly.

[jesusize]

The faculty who walked with you will be fired. They’re the reason why. None of these students I don’t care how many should get their diploma. I’m a Palestinian business owner and I wouldn’t hire one of these people.

[vel]

From the river to the sea, no student loan forgiveness or fancy high dollar job for thee.

[chadskogfeldt]

I don't understand why nobody's asking about the hostages and how they can get released

[anilkumar-eqfy]

where is this palasine . please ask them.

[nancyrobertson]

Obviously, Harvard just ain't what it used to be.

[healthandhappinesshabits]

Harvard did the right thing by withholding the degrees. These protesters said couple of weeks ago that the purpose of protest is to make people around them uncomfortable. Now it’s time for them to feel comfortable.
Also if these kids are boycotting convocation that Gaza kids don’t have a university to go to, then maybe they should also boycott food as children in Jordan are starving.
This whole protest is the first step in Islamization of the western world as evident by covering faces, not being able to speak freely to reporters inspite of protesting .. these students have no idea how brainwashed they are
