     We denounce Northeastern's discipline of student activists and Boston Police Department's arrest of peaceful protesters. We denounce false claims from the Northeastern administration that protests were "infiltrated by professional organizers" who used "virulent antisemitic slurs."

     As a new anti-war movement has sprung on campuses across the country, JVP Boston and IfNotNow Boston support the student encampment movement in solidarity with Palestine across this city and the country.

     By using this event to slander their own students, the Northeastern administration is acting in incredible bad faith. They owe pro-Palestine student organizers an apology.

     These unfounded accusations of antisemitism — which have been wholly debunked by Northeastern student activists and video evidence — put student protestors, community members, and members of all faiths, including Jews, at risk, while diverting attention away from the genocide.

     Video shared by WGBH News reporter Tori Bedford clearly shows the incident in question, in which a pro-Israeli counterprotestor attempts to be disruptive by yelling an antisemitic comment.
