Sabra & Shatilla commemoration
Penn State's commemoration of the 27th anniversary of the Israeli massacre of the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps went very well. We had lots of support. When we were setting up an elderly fellow, possibly a university professor or faculty, acknowledged us and said "good demo". Lot's of students supported us and wanted to join the group. One girl passed by saying saying "you got balls", she told us she is Jewish and supports our cause but her family is ignorant of the Israeli treatment of the the Palestinians...another girl passed by and was not happy with us s saying "are you serious...".. I replied to her saying yes we are and if she wanted to sign our petition to boycott apartheid Israel, she said "no thank you". Other than that lots of people supported us and wanted to join the group..kudos to David for all his great and dedicated work on this (collegian photo above)
