Hundreds of Harvard students walk out of commencement ceremony in protest of Israel-Hamas war
Some 30,000 graduates, family, and friends filled Harvard Yard Thursday for the universityās 373rd commencement, but the ceremony, steeped in tradition and pageantry, was disrupted when hundreds of students walked out about halfway through it in solidarity with 13 classmates who were barred from receiving diplomas because of their involvement in an unauthorized protest of Israelās military campaign in the Gaza Strip.
