Harvard, other universities crack down on Israel-Hamas war protests

“They were silent, and they did not block anybody’s access,” said Steven Levitsky, Harvard professor of government, of the students. “I mean, where does this happen? This happens in China.”
On a recent Saturday, a group of students donned keffiyehs and sat inside Harvard’s main library, appearing to study with flyers that read “Imagine it happened here” and “Israel bombs Harvard pays” taped to their laptops to protest Israeli bombing in Lebanon.
The reaction from university leadership was swift: Administrators swept in and requested IDs, leaving the threat of punishment in their wake.
