In the video: Waving Palestinian flags at Ben-Gurion University (Walla!)

A pro-Palestinian demonstration was held today (Monday) at Ben-Gurion University, during which PLO flags were hoisted to mark Nakba Day. The flags were brought into the university compound as part of the demonstration, which was approved by the university administration



. To the president of the university, Prof. Daniel Haimovich. "I just received a shocking video from the campus of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, here in the State of Israel, and I could not remain indifferent.

"Palestinian flags are proudly hoisted and songs of praise to Israel's enemies, whose whole desire is to destroy it," he wrote.



"Ben-Gurion University of the Negev is part of the city of Beersheba and the State of Israel.

As president of a university you must have a clear statement on the subject.

The State of Israel has only one flag and does not spend it, "Danilovich continued." We carry it proudly.

It is a great privilege to be Israeli, alongside which there is a commitment to the state and its values. "

The mayor of Be'er Sheva added that "My heart goes out to our dear bereaved families, who have lost their loved ones and are watching this disgrace. Where were the days when the university banned political activity, probably a blatant and defiant demonstration against the State of Israel?" "According to the Israeli spirit. I must tell you, I am ashamed."



Following the event and the storm that erupted around it, on behalf of the university, it was reported: "Two days after International Diversity Day, we were present again to see that our campus contains students from all over Israeli society and hold a variety of opinions and views. Therefore, we were able to hold two political rallies with opposing views. We are proud of our students who care about those around them, express their opinions. Our male and female students know how to work together in laboratories, classrooms and social activities. "

At the same time, a heated discussion was held today in the committee on freedom of expression, incitement and violence on campuses.

MK Sami Abu Shehadeh was expelled from the debate after an exchange with MKs Orit Struck and Kati Sheetrit.

Before he was released, Abu Shehadeh said that "I was at the Tel Aviv University at a ceremony for the Nakba when representatives of 'If You Will' came to celebrate and that is already much of what can be tolerated in freedom of expression. It indicates mental illness. "The Palestinian flag exists long before the Palestinian Authority, it is the flag that will continue to represent the Palestinian people everywhere."

The committee's chairman, MK Sharan Hashakel, went on strike: "To say that we redeemed Palestine with blood and fire is an incitement to violence."



During the discussion, Tel Aviv University student Orit Eliyahu shared the audience: "We, the Jewish students, are going through a very difficult time. Some people live with me in dormitories and decided to return to live with their parents because they are afraid. Waving the Palestinian flag On Memorial Day for the IDF martyrs, the Arab students laughed at us as we stood at the siren.

Arab students tell us they want to murder us and the next day they sit next to us in the lecture hall.

We rattle in fear. "
