Pro-Palestine protests at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology held walkouts, vigils, teach-ins, protests, sit-ins, and hacks during the Gaza genocide demanding MIT end research ties to the Israeli military and its weapon providers. This period of mobilization escalated to an encampment in April-May 2024 following peers at Columbia University. Led by the MIT Coalition Against Apartheid and Coalition for Palestine representing more than 15 campus groups, protesters represented the majority call of the student body but were met with hostility from the university's administration and Zionist actors, which characterized the students as violent and antisemitic.
