Yesterday, demonstrations were held throughout Jerusalem by Palestinians and progressive Israelis. They were protesting the growth of illegal settlements and evictions throughout the occupied eastern part of the city.
One of the demonstrations was held on the campus of the Hebrew University. About 80 Palestinian students assembled peacefully outside one of the main entrances. They were jeered by no more than 10 Israeli students who chanted “Go back to Gaza”, among other chants that I dare not put in writing without putting an ‘adult content’ tag on this post.
It was an ugly situation to say the least.

Palestinian and Israeli students clash at a Demonstration at Hebrew University on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem
A student demonstration broke out today in front of the Hebrew University campus on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem. Protests, demonstrations, and rallies have been happening all day throughout the city. Palestinians have coined today as the “day of rage” in response to the expansion of Jewish settlements.
