Hind Rajab died one of the most horrifying deaths you could imagine for a kid — or anyone — surrounded by her dead family in a car, terrified as IDF forces moved in. the kind of story that sits in your stomach for years after you hear it. honoring her in this way is so beautiful.
Taking over Hamilton Hall as done in 1968, Columbia students unfurl a banner that reads "Hind's Hall," in reference to Hind Rajab, a six-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces.
Hundreds of students cheer as the banner is revealed, erupting into chants to "Free Palestine."
