Two individuals unfurled a banner bearing the message “There Are No Universities Left in Gaza” at the top of the steps to Widener Library, before it was confiscated by a Harvard University Police Department officer.
The confiscation resulted in a heated confrontation between the officer and the individuals who had held up the banner.
“Give me my flag back,” one individual yelled at the officer.
Though the banner was confiscated, it is unclear whether any action was taken against the individuals or if they were graduates or Harvard affiliates.
