In the video: a student in Ben Gurion asked to light candles in memory of those murdered in the attack in Ariel (Walla system!)
A student from Ben Gurion University asked today (Tuesday) to light candles in memory of those murdered in the attack in Ariel, but the management of the university did not allow her to set up the memorial corner inside the campus area, claiming that it was a political event.
Clara Ben Shoshan, coordinator of the "If You Want" movement at the university, asked to commemorate the three murdered people, but was told by the university that "political public events can be held with two days' notice".
The activist moved away from the campus area to set up the commemoration corner, but then security guards asked her to cross the road, because they claimed she was still standing on the university grounds.
After repeated demands from the student, the university allowed her to set up the stand at the entrance to the compound.

"It is very unfortunate that the management of a public academic institution, funded by the citizens of Israel, sees lighting candles in memory of those killed in the attack as a political event," said Ben Shoshan in response to the case, "even more unfortunate that the management did not see fit to light candles in their memory. The fact that security guards were sent to keep me away as much as possible also from the entrance to the university, indicates a serious lack of enlightenment. It was clear that the pressure of lecturers who supported the student who asked to remember the martyrs would have an effect, but I did not think it would happen so quickly. Shame on a Zionist institution in the State of Israel for its conduct. When I came to Israel, I never dreamed in my life that I would encounter such opacity. '.

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev stated in response that "If you wish to hold the event has been approved. Unfortunately, if you wish, they refused approval and refused to act according to the procedures. After choosing to hold a private event outside the campus, they were asked by security to do so on the side In order not to disturb passers-by, and indeed they did.
We are sorry for the cynical and ugly exploitation of the student and if you want the horrible attack and more at a time when we are all grieving the death of innocent people.
" The "If You Want" movement called the university's response "false and false, and it even has the purpose of threatening those who wish to carry out Zionist activities On campus." The movement added that "one wonders why the management of an academic institution considers the lighting of candles a 'cynical and ugly exploitation of a terrible terrorist attack' or a 'political public activity'.
