Protesters Replace American Flag with Palestinian Flag at Harvard University: Caught on Camera

This week, student protestors at Harvard University caused a stir when they hoisted Palestinian flags atop the famous John Harvard monument, which bears the name of the esteemed US university. In light of Israel’s military assault in Gaza, the conduct was perceived as a provocative show of support for Palestine at the elite university.

The incident on Saturday started when a group of demonstrators raised their flags over the John Harvard monument, which is normally where the American flag or the flags of foreign dignitaries visiting the country are flown. Chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” resonated over the yard as the flags waved in the air, according to The Harvard Crimson.

The demonstrators are greatly concerned about the possibility of disciplinary action, which might involve the withholding of degrees, especially as Harvard’s graduation festivities approach. The campsite, which got underway earlier this week, has grown to be a main center of protest, with hundreds of students among those who could suffer consequences for carrying on with the demonstration.

‘WAVE OF DEMONSTRATIONS’

At Columbia University in New York, the protest wave started, but it has since quickly expanded across the nation. Many campuses have seen tranquility, but the number of demonstrators being held in detention is rapidly increasing. These are located at Washington University in St. Louis (80), Arizona State University (72), Indiana University (23), and Northeastern University (100) in Boston.

Following around 275 arrests by police at four different schools over the weekend, the US federal government stressed on Sunday that pro-Palestinian rallies, which have shook colleges, should be peaceful, even as demonstrations continued across college campuses.

According to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, “We certainly respect the right to peaceful protests,” ABC was informed. However, he said, “We unequivocally condemn all hate speech, threats of violence, and the anti-Semitic language that we have recently heard.”

4 Delhi Hospitals Receive Bomb Threat Emails Following School Alerts; Police Investigation Ongoing

Emails threatening bombs were sent to four hospitals in Delhi on Tuesday: Deepchand Bandhu Hospital, Dada Dev Hospital, Hedgewar Hospital, and Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital. Two days earlier, twenty hospitals, the airport, and the capital’s office of the Northern Railways’ CPRO received similar threats, according to officials. Thus far, nothing questionable has been discovered.

Officials from the Delhi Fire Service reported that these four hospitals had received bomb threats via email. According to the officials, the fire department, local police, bomb disposal squad, and explosives detection team raced to the scene to carry out searches. A DFS representative stated that the influx of calls started around 10.45 a.m.

Back-to-back calls from Delhi hospitals

At 9.45 a.m., Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital in Ashok Vihar, north Delhi, was the first hospital to call. At 10.55 a.m., the second call originated from Dada Dev Hospital in Dabri, southwest Delhi; at 11.01 a.m., it came from Hedgewar Hospital in Farsh Bazar, east Delhi; and at 11.12 a.m., it came from GTB Hospital in Shahdara, east Delhi. “The checks are being done by the bomb disposal unit and the police. We have additionally carried out two inspections. As of right now, nothing unusual has been discovered, according to Hedgewar Hospital security officer VK Sharma.

A hospital doctor told him that he had received a letter regarding an explosion at the hospital. This is the fourth time in the past month that threats of this nature have been made against different locations, including schools. This discovery occurs two days after bomb threats via email were sent to over six government hospitals in Delhi and to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. Delhi Police claim that on May 12, an unknown account sent an email threatening to blow up the IGI Airport. The message contained a threat that there was an explosive device on the property.

Two government facilities, the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Mangolpuri and the Burari Government Hospital, got similar communications. An inquiry into the case has been initiated by the Delhi Police. Aruna Asaf Ali Govt Hospital in Rajpur Road, Hindu Rao Hospital of Malka Ganj, Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital in Hari Nagar, Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital in Dilshad Garden, and Dada Dev Hospital in Dabri are among the hospitals on this list. These emails threatening bombs are almost two weeks after over 150 Delhi-NCR schools received bomb threats that alarmed parents. In a formal statement, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) called the email a “hoax.”.

Bomb threats to Delhi hospitals

At 3:30 p.m. on May 12, police got information about the threat from Brurari Hospital. Following that, complaints were received from a number of other hospitals in the city, and police teams were sent out; however, as of right now, “nothing suspicious” has been discovered, according to officials.

According to a police officer, the local police also examined Guru Nanak Dev Eye Hospital, Gramin Swastha Prashikshan Sansthan in Najafgarh, and ILBS in Vasant Kunj because they received the emails as well. The officer said that although the CPRO building at Connaught Place’s State Entry Road was inspected, nothing out of the ordinary was found there. He stated that the inspections at several hospitals continued until late at night.

Mumbai Hoarding Collapse: 14 Dead, 74 Injured in Ghatkopar; FIR Registered | Latest Updates

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) conducted nighttime rescue efforts for individuals trapped when a big hoarding fell in Mumbai early on Tuesday. The toll from the incident grew to 14. The event has resulted in at least 74 injuries. Eight bodies have already been discovered, according to NDRF inspector Gaurav Chauhan, who spoke with the news agency AFP. This happened after excavators combed through the debris to find those trapped behind the fallen billboard. He added that there were four additional victims buried beneath the debris.

He stated, “We have found them, but this gasoline pump prevents us from removing them, and the situation may be dangerous.” President Droupadi Murmu and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar, meanwhile, expressed their sympathies for the victims of the hoarding collapse in Mumbai’s Ghatkopar and wished for a quick recovery for those who were hurt.

On the off chance that we weren’t together, we addressed each other regularly. He was the most thoughtful, liberal, vivacious, and cherishing individual. He was a superb, brilliant entertainer, and every individual who worked with him was moved by his heart and light. I sincerely don’t have the foggiest idea what I’ll manage without him close by.”
