Pro Palestinian Protests Live At MIT | Protesters Break Through Barricades To Retake MIT Live | N18L Pro-Palestinian protesters that had been blocked by police from accessing an encampment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Monday broke through fencing, linked arms and encircled tents that remained there, as Columbia University canceled its university-wide commencement ceremony following weeks of demonstrations. Sam Ihns, a graduate student at MIT studying mechanical engineering and a member of MIT Jews for a Ceasefire, said the group has been at the encampment for the past two weeks and that they were calling for an end to the killing of thousands of people in Gaza.“Specifically, our encampment is protesting MIT’s direct research ties to the Israeli Ministry of Defense,” he said. #usnews #news18live #MIT #propalestine #protest #Students #gaza #hamas n18oc_live
