VIDEO: Korean Christians Confront Anti-Israel Protestors at Harvard
Korean Christians Disrupt Anti-Israel Protest at Harvard, Defending Israel with Worship Music
An anti-Israel protest at Harvard University was anything but ordinary when a group of South Korean Christians took a stand. As the university students chanted “from the river to the sea,” the Newsong Worship Teens, led by Pastor Joseph Kim, arrived and made their voices heard. Blasting worship music and delivering powerful speeches, they defended Israel and challenged the anti-Israel groups.
“Harvard is broken down, and so liberal,” Pastor Kim expressed through a translator. “So we’re here to actually heal that.”
Harvard Faces Criticism for Response to Hamas’ Massacre
Harvard has been facing mounting criticism for its handling of Hamas’ massacre, with Jewish students filing a lawsuit accusing the school of enabling anti-Semitism. The selective enforcement of policies to protect Jewish students from harassment has raised concerns.
The protestors’ chant of “from the river to the sea” calls for the eradication of Israel. This chant was questioned by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) during a congressional hearing with former Harvard president Claudine Gay. The controversy surrounding Gay’s failure to address anti-Semitism ultimately led to her resignation.
“These students are actually brainwashed, and they’re actually supporting that kind of violence,” Pastor Kim expressed. “It’s so sad because they are in these universities and supporting something that they shouldn’t be.”
Surprisingly, Kim’s group, known for raising awareness about the oppressive North Korean regime, found American college students standing alongside supporters of their northern unfriendly neighbor.

The Newsong Worship Teens documented their demonstration on their YouTube channel, which boasts 158,000 subscribers.
The anti-Israel demonstration, marketed as a call for a ceasefire and divestment, saw a smaller turnout of about 150 students compared to the protests following Hamas’ massacre of Israeli civilians.
“There is no ‘calm’ in Gaza, so there can be no ‘calm’ on campus,” one of the groups posted on Instagram to promote the event. “Come this Thursday to prove the movement for a Free Palestine is not over.”
The event featured various student speakers, including Harvard Medical School assistant professor Nasrien E. Ibrahim.
“We call on Harvard to reject funding from donors attempting to control or censor on-campus speech or course curriculum,” Ibrahim urged. “We also call on Harvard to stop accepting donations conditioned upon the suppression of ideas and expression on campus.”
One student speaker even echoed the sentiments of megadonor Ken Griffin, who decided to cease donations to the university due to the production of “whiny snowflakes.”
“I agree with Ken Griffin, Zionist students are whiny snowflakes,” the student remarked, diverting attention from Griffin’s opposition to the school’s DEI agenda.
What concerns have been raised about Harvard’s handling of the Hamas massacre and its impact on Jewish students?
Stor Kim said. “We want to show them that there is another way, a way of love and understanding.”
The Newsong Worship Teens, a group of South Korean Christian young people, brought a powerful message to Harvard. With their worship music and speeches, they aimed to counter the anti-Israel sentiment that has been spreading on university campuses. The group firmly believes in the right of the Jewish people to have a homeland in Israel and opposes any calls for its destruction.
The protest at Harvard comes amidst a wave of criticism directed at the university for its handling of the Hamas massacre. Jewish students have accused the school of enabling anti-Semitism by selectively enforcing policies to protect them from harassment. This has raised concerns about the university’s commitment to inclusivity and fostering a safe environment for all students.
The protestors’ chant of “from the river to the sea” is deeply troubling. It is a call for the elimination of Israel and has been condemned by many for its destructive nature. Rep. Elise Stefanik, during a congressional hearing with former Harvard president Claudine Gay, questioned the meaning behind this chant and its implications. This controversy ultimately led to Gay’s resignation, highlighting the seriousness of the issue and the need for proper response and accountability.
In the face of such criticism and rising anti-Israel sentiment, it is encouraging to see groups like the Newsong Worship Teens standing up for Israel. Through their worship music and speeches, they demonstrated that defending Israel doesn’t necessarily mean promoting violence or hatred. Instead, their message was one of healing, love, and understanding.
The intervention of these South Korean Christians at Harvard is a reminder that support for Israel extends beyond borders and cultural differences. It emphasizes that the struggle for justice and peace should be a common cause for all who believe in the right of nations to self-determination and the importance of coexistence.
As the protest at Harvard University revealed, the battle for Israel’s legitimacy and security is not limited to the Middle East. It resonates on university campuses around the world, where narratives and opinions are shaped and where young minds are influenced. It is crucial for those who support Israel to stand up and challenge the distorted views that seek to undermine its existence.
The actions of the Newsong Worship Teens demonstrated the power of music and speech in creating change. Through their intervention, they challenged the anti-Israel narrative at Harvard and sparked conversations about the importance of dialogue and understanding. Their commitment to healing the brokenness at the university is an example that should inspire others to take similar actions and defend Israel’s right to exist.
