Israel Has a Problem on Its University Campuses, Too
Far-left and Arab Israeli students hold demonstration praising Palestinian terrorists killed by the IDF in recent days.
Tel Aviv University, like so many others in the West, has become a platform for anti-Israel expression.
We are all familiar with the problem of anti-Zionism and antisemitism on university campuses in the West, and in particular in the United States. But Israel itself is not free of this phenomenon, as seen Thursday during a demonstration at Tel Aviv University.
Supporters of terrorism held a demonstration in front of Tel Aviv University on Thursday morning in reaction to IDF operations against the new Palestinian terror group known as the Lions’ Den.
The demonstration was led by members of the left-wing anti-Zionist Hadash party’s student group at the university. Zionist group Im Tirtzu reported that demonstrators were seen shouting their support for the terrorists who were killed, calling them “martyrs.”
“From you came the decision – intifada and victory,” they changed, while others cried out: “Oh, mother of the martyr, rejoice, all the Shabab are your sons. Oh, mother of the prisoner, be happy, death is better than humiliation,” and “Martyr, rest, we continue the struggle… unity with Palestine in the return of all refugees, unity with Palestine in removing all the occupiers.”
Earlier this week Israeli security forces conducted a raid on a bomb making factory belonging to Lions’ Den in Nablus (biblical Shechem), the city where the terror group is based. The raid destroyed the facility and took the lives of five of its operatives, including the head of the Lions’ Den organization, Waddia Al-Houh.
Shai Rosengarten, Director of Activism in the Im Tirtzu movement said in response to the demonstration:
“The fact that at the entrance to Tel Aviv University chants of martyrs and intifada are heard, and the president of the university does not even bother to leave his office and remove the protesters is a sign of weakness and a shameful surrender to terrorism. If someone makes a mess in front of your house do you say you are not responsible for the entrance? The entrance to Tel Aviv University has become like a terrorist demonstration in the middle of Jenin. Tel Aviv University students deserve a president who will make sure to keep them safe.”
