Less than a week after getting suspended, the group held a demonstration on with about 50 people on the academic quad, then walked into the Science and Engineering Complex and held a sit-in in a cafe, according to a statement from the schoolTufts University suspended its chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine last week, but the group nevertheless held a demonstration on campus Monday, the one-year anniversary of Hamas' attack on Israel.
"Tufts has proven its only allegiance is to its own endowment," a Tufts SJP spokesperson said in a statement."Its refusal to condemn the genocide and disclose and divest from Israeli apartheid, along with its punishment of Palestinian and Jewish student protestors proves it is willing to put Zionist donors above basic morality."
"The suspension will remain in effect until the case is fully resolved. During this time, SJP must halt all activities, events, and meetings," the statement reads."Any attempt to continue operating during this suspension will result in serious disciplinary consequences for both the organization and its leaders."
