« The class president was a scheduled speaker at Thursday’s OneMIT Commencement ceremony in Cambridge, Mass., where she took to the podium, a keffiyeh – a symbol of pro-Palestinian solidarity – draped over her graduation robe.
She praised her peers for protesting the war in #Gaza and criticized the university’s ties to Israel. »
