For many observers, this chant might seem like an ordinary victory chant but, in fact, this is the core of the conflict. These groups are not asking to foster peace, but to erase the only Jewish state, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. This is a call for genocide.

The Druze are a religious minority in Israel & an integral part of the IDF from its inception until today. From April 25-28, the Druze celebrate the holiday of the Prophet Shu'aib (Jethro). Here are two Druze soldiers with the five color Druze flag. We wish them a happy holiday!

The fact that people do not realize this, and that a group can leave student government feeling a call for genocide is a legitimate chant, is exactly why we oppose this referendum.

We stayed quiet, upset, but not defeated. SSI, along with other pro-Israel groups on our campus will inform students on the antisemitic repercussions of this referendum, its negation to real dialogue, and will not let this pass the next stage.

We urge students to see that this will only divide our campus, will only being hatred to our campus, will only harm our Jewish and pro-Israel students and, most importantly, that it is completely unjust.

Scientist Issac Newton did not only write about science, but also about how the Jewish Temple should look like. His manuscript was based on the biblical book of Ezekiel which contains the description of the Temple. In descriptions in English, he added notes handwritten in Hebrew.
