Today at @MIT, just steps from the Hillel building, a crowd of students cheers a man praising Ham@s, the PFLP, and the Muslim Brotherhood. “You can’t support a people who are fighting back and fail to support those who are putting their lives on the line. So when they say all this garbage, all this slander about Ham@s, and about the Muslim Brotherhood, and others that are out there fighting the fight, the PFLP’s armed wing — all these that are really out there in Gaza right now as we speak. We have to do what the labor movement said — which side are you on? We’re on the side of the fighters! We’re on the side of those that fight the enemy.” This was a graduate student labor union support for Palestine encampment protest. MIT requires all graduate students, like myself, to join this union, which supports BDS and (apparently) terrorist groups. @WillSussmanPhD recently sued the MIT Grad Student Union.
