The walkout on April 24 included bracelet and poster making stations. SJP also chalked on various places across campus such as the Attallah Piazza, Memorial Lawn, the steps at the Leatherby Library and more. Eli Schechter, president of the Students Supporting Israel (SSI) club on campus, expressed his anger after seeing some of the chalkings and demonstrations on campus during the walkout. “(SJP) uses their cause as a vehicle to spread anti-Semitism,” said Schechter.
