Stanford sidewalks bear anti-Israel chalk messages after Hamas attacks.
Anti-Israel Chalk Messages Appear on Stanford Campus
A series of powerful chalk messages expressing support for Palestine and condemning recent terrorist attacks by Hamas have emerged on the campus of Stanford University. Late Tuesday night, these thought-provoking messages appeared in the White Plaza, a central location on campus.
The Stanford Review shared pictures of the messages on X, showcasing a range of statements from simple “Free Palestine” slogans to accusations of genocide. These messages reportedly surfaced after an on-campus vigil in support of Israel following the recent terror attacks by Hamas.
A Movement of Resistance
The chalk messages at Stanford are part of a larger movement among U.S. college students who oppose Israel and justify the recent Hamas attacks. Students for Justice in Palestine has announced a series of “Day of Resistance” demonstrations on Thursday across various college campuses.
One of the messages boldly declares, “Resistance to occupation is legal, collective punishment is not,” drawing a parallel between the attacks, which have tragically included the execution of innocent babies, and a revolutionary revolt.
Amidst the ongoing conflict, more than 2,200 lives have been lost on both sides. In response, Israel has launched a military incursion into the Gaza Strip, which is under Hamas control.
University Response
While several university presidents have condemned the attacks, a statement by Stanford President Richard Saller and Provost Jenny Martinez over the weekend made no mention of Hamas. Instead, they expressed deep sadness and horror at the death and suffering caused by the conflict, acknowledging the fear and vulnerability felt by many on campus.
As the controversy continues, Stanford University has not yet provided a comment on the matter.
