Aksi Berani Para Mahasiswa AS yang Kibarkan Bendera Palestina Saat Wisuda

SEAToday.com, Boston – Dukungan masyarakat dunia untuk Palestina makin tak terbendung. Termasuk beberapa mahasiswa di Amerika Serikat (AS) yang mengibarkan bendera Palestina di momen wisuda. Aksi tersebut langsung mendapat perhatian banyak orang.
1.Mahasiswa Northeastern University
Pada Minggu (5/5) waktu Boston upacara wisuda Norheastern University awalnya berjalan dengam khidmat meskipun lokasi wisuda di Fenway Park diguyur hujan. Justru hujan tak menyulut semangat beberapa mahasiwa mengibarkan bendera Palestina.
Salah satu perwakilan wisudawan Rebecca Bamidele menyerukan untuk perdamaian di Gaza. Aksi tersebut terjadi setelah polisi menangkap ratusan pengunjuk rasa yang melakukan aksi damai menentang serangan Israel di Gaza.
2. Mahasiwa University of Michigan
Wisuda University of Michigan berlangsung di Stadion Michigan. Polisi menjaga ketat beberapa mahasiswa yang berani membawa dan mengibarkan bendera Palestina. Bahkan ada mahasiswa yang membentangkan spanduk bertuliskan “Tidak ada universitas tersisa di Gaza”.
3. Mahasiswa University of Texas
Di tempat lain dalam acara wisada University of Texas, seorang mahasiswa yang pro Palestina sengaja membawa dan mengibarkan bendera ke panggung. Akhirnya mahasiswa itu diamankan petugas setelah melakukan aksi berani itu.
Sebelum bendera Palestina berkibar di acara wisuda, sebenarnya sudah banyak gerakan-gerakan mahasiswa di AS yang serentak melakukan aksi unjuk rasa menentang serangan Israel ke Gaza.
Demonstrasi pro Palestina berlangsung di banyak universitas. Dari unjuk rasa ini sudah ada mahasiswa dan warga AS lainnya telah ditangkap oleh kepolisan setempat sejak 8 April 2024 lalu.
Banyak kampus juga memberikan hukuman kepada mahasiswanya. Misalnya beberapa kampus Ivy League seperti Columbia University hingga University of California, Los Angeles.
Para mahasiswa mendapatkan sanksi dengan karena ikut aksi damai meskipun sudah diminta untuk membubarkan diri. Gerakan-gerakan mahasiswa di AS dalam upaya bela Palestina masih akan terus bergulir selama Israel masih menyerang Gaza.
