The organizer of an encampment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology told Fox News Digital they want the school to end research contracts with Israel.

The leader of an encampment on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus is urging the school to divest from Israel and criticized media outlets for suggesting anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism. Zeno, a graduate student at MIT, spoke with Fox News Digital inside the encampment that has been operating on the lawn at Kresge Auditorium since April 21.

One of the projects MIT allegedly funded is 'autonomous robotic swarms.' The group is concerned this initiative could enhance drone abilities to track moving targets, whether that be Gazan citizens or American protesters. The topic is of significant concern to Zeno, who is a disabled Air Force Veteran and currently serves as a 'Graduates for Palestine' organizer.
