Tensions ran high on MIT’s campus Friday as a pro-Palestinian encampment erected nearly two weeks ago was met with counterprotest across Mass. Ave.
Demonstrators wave Israeli flags on the steps of MIT at rally arranged by the New England chapter of the Israeli American Council.
Due to a heavy police presence and de-escalation trainings inside the camp — which has now grown to include over a dozen tents since it went up on April 21 — confrontations were isolated and quickly defused by police, faculty or encampment members. Police last week cleared out camps at Emerson College and Northeastern University while students at Tufts, Harvard and MIT continue to face off with university leaders, refusing to back down from their demands that schools’ disclose and divest from their financial ties with Israel.
