US policies, Israel alignment, media portrayal create fear for Palestinians and their supporters. Tragic incidents, doxxing, and a post-9/11 atmosphere of apprehension grip Ivy League campuses.
Two Ivy League universities, Yale and Harvard, have recently made headlines as students supporting Palestine faced doxxing and death threats and professors critical of Israel have come under scrutiny for possible dismissal.
The response from the Yale administration was particularly concerning following the reported incident. They chose to categorise the phrase “Death to Palestine” as a political sentiment rather than hate speech. He also mentioned receiving an email from the dean, essentially endorsing the president’s statement but not addressing the Palestinian issue at all. “So this is the context where the administration is openly supporting one side and the dehumanisation of pro-Palestinians was going on in the media and with governments,” he said.
“Before I co-founded Yalies4Palestine in 2020, there were no organised spaces for students to talk about Palestine. Yale's SJP had been repeatedly shut down, and there was no other organised attempt for dialogue on Palestine. Every event that addressed issues in the region was organised by Zionist voices and did not allow any space for pro-Palestinian voices.”
“At a university that is hailed as an elite, liberal institution of academic thought and dialogue, we expect better.” she says, holding the Yale administration responsible for creating an openly hostile and perilous environment for Palestinian students and pro-Palestinian voices challenging Israeli occupation.
However, in a matter of days, students associated with these groups were subjected to doxxing, with their personal information being posted online.
