ALBAWABA - Commemorating her wedding day, Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani, alongside her husband, took part in the ongoing demonstrations at the Columbia University campus in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
Dressed in the traditional Palestinian dress, the Thobe, and Kiffyeh, Kiswani led the chants as hundreds of students and body members of the Ivy League school continued to occupy the campus calling for its administration to divest from companies that sell weapons to Israel and form them to condemn the ongoing onslaught in the enclave.
"People all over the country are standing with you guys, do not stop keep going. Any support you need from us, from the broader Palestine movement from people across the world, let us know because as long as you deoccupy this university the people of New York City, the community, will be here to stand with you," Kiswani told protestors.
"And there will continue to be deoccupations across the entire country. You guys are leading the way so please don’t give up, please, the Palestinian people count on you," Kiswani continued.
Protestors marched, chanting "There is only one solution, the intifada revolution", along with other phrases that have been used in demonstrations across the world in solidarity protests.
Hundreds of dozens of protestors across multiple Ivy League schools swept their campuses in solidarity with the people of Gaza in their 200+ days of brutal Israeli aggression, which left more than 34,151 killed and 77,000+ injured.
Mass protests were witnessed on Columbia's campus, where the police took into custody more than 100 students and faculty members who camped out across campus to push for the Ivy League school to cut ties with businesses associated with Israel.
Calls for students from universities all over the country grew for them to take to the streets to demand their universities to divest from companies that sell weapons to Israel and form them to condemn the ongoing onslaught in the enclave.
Students across Harvard, MIT, and Yale in addition to many other schools have answered these calls and started demanding action from their administrations.
