Anderson Recognizes Students for Organizing Pro-Palestine Demonstrations and Walkouts
During this Boston City Council meeting, which occurred on December 6, 2023, Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson invited two Boston Public Schools students to be recognized but did not tell her Council colleagues what for.
As it turned out, the students were there to be recognized for organizing a pro-Palestine walkout and for pursuing a pro-Palestine education campaign directed at their Boston Public School peers.
During the recognition ceremony, one of the students utilized the phrase “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” which the Anti-Defamation League has classified as anti-Semitic.
Weeks before, Anderson came under scrutiny after she opposed a resolution condemning the October 7, 2023, HAMAS attack on Israel as a “massive military operation” before proposing her own resolution in favor of a ceasefire.
