Hundreds of Arab and Jewish students gathered on Tuesday, April 8, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to protest the war in Gaza as they accused Israel of committing genocide. The university initially approved the anti-war protest but then decided to cancel it due to the “inability to guarantee the protesters’ safety” and “concerns about a violent eruption during the demonstrations.”

On Tuesday, Hadash students’ cells, in the universities of Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and Haifa, together with partners in the struggle against fascism and occupation – initiated a series of protests against silencing “massacre and war.” The protesters waving signs and banners in Hebrew and Arabic that read, “Stop the War” and “Stop the genocide.”
