From Fox News: Columbia University protesters are celebrating the “martyrs” of Gaza on Veterans Day in opposition to the “Israel-US war machine,” driving appalled campus veterans to honor the holiday at the same time as a counterprotest.
Columbia University Apartheid Divest, an unsanctioned group at the New York City school, rebranded Monday’s holiday as “Martyr’s Day” on flyers distributed around the Ivy League’s campus.
“Veterans Day is an American holiday to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of veterans. We reject this holiday and refuse to celebrate it,” their literature reads.
“The American war machine should not be honored for the horrors unleashed on others. Instead, we will celebrate Martyrs Day in honor of those martyred by the Israel-US war machine. A day to honor the patriotism, love of country, and sacrifice of those martyrs.”
The Columbia Jewish and Israeli Students blasted the pro-Gaza students for the gross demonstration against Veteran’s Day:
“CUAD at @Columbia is “reclaiming” Veterans Day as “Martyr’s Day” instead, honoring “all the martyrs” including the likes of Yahya Sinwar and Hassan Nasrallah, who was responsible for the murder of 241 US Marines.
“This moral repugnance is an ingracious slap in the face to all those, including countless Columbia student veterans, who bravely risked their lives to serve their country and give CUAD the freedom to be idiots.”

While students wave flags in solidarity with American veterans, anti-Israel protesters at Columbia protest the “Zionist entity” and the US’s “complicity.”
And they just quoted “the martyr…Hassan Nasrallah.” That should tell you everything you need to know. pic.twitter.com/LEKAXHsXC8

The Alumni Free Speech Alliance blasted the stunt, writing, “Veterans won’t be applauded and celebrated today at @Columbia. They’ll be disrespected and reviled.

“Then some wonder why public support for these institutions is sinking like a stone. #VeteransDay #highereducation #wokenessoncampus.”
