🇦🇪❌🇵🇸 — 📰 AP: Report: UAE deported student who shouted ‘Free Palestine’ at NYU Abu Dhabi graduation

➡️ At the graduation ceremony of New York University Abu Dhabi this May, a student wearing the traditional Palestinian black-and-white keffiyeh scarf shouted “Free Palestine!” as he crossed the stage to receive his diploma, witnesses say. Days later, he reportedly was deported from the United Arab Emirates.

➡️ The incident at the graduation comes as the UAE tries to balance its diplomatic recognition of Israel with the ongoing Israel-Hamas war that’s devastated the Gaza Strip. While offering aid to the Palestinians, there have been none of the mass demonstrations that swept the Arab world here in the UAE, a federation of seven emirates that tightly controls speech and where political parties are illegal.

➡️ That’s stretched into academic life at NYU Abu Dhabi, where students say activities over the war have been barred, and into cultural events in the country’s capital as well where those wearing the keffiyeh have been stopped from entering.

🇦🇪🤝🇮🇱- Ironically, the Palestinian keffiyeh isn't even banned in Israeli universities. UAE is taking steps to prove they're more pro Zionism than Israel itself for an alleged peace.
