Christian singer Sean Feucht leads pro-Israel rally at USC on heels of Columbia firestormThe Christian worship leader hosted a “Unite for Israel” march and rally Wednesday night outside the University of Southern California, where officials have shut down the campus to outsiders after clearing out a pro-Palestinian camp ahead of this week’s graduation festivities.
The crowd of about 200 marchers at Exposition Park across the street from the campus waved American and Israeli flags while chanting “bring them home,” a reference to the hostages still held by Hamas after the Oct. 7 slaughter of Israeli civilians. Both Columbia and USC have closed their campuses and canceled their main-stage commencement over concerns about protest unrest, opting instead for small-school ceremonies and gatherings.“We stand with Israel and against the demonic forces that would try to destroy its people, including the hateful identity Marxists on college campuses,” said CWA President Penny Nance. “We call on the president and world leaders to stand with our ally in this war and to focus on getting hostages home.
The “Unite for Israel” rally at USC went off without incident, but that doesn’t mean the university is free from strife.
