Peace Rally, UCI Students Stand Against Hamas

Submitted by Anteaters for Israel on Monday, 12 January 2009One Comment

On January 8, Anteaters for Israel organized a counter-rally in response to a rally hosted by the Muslim Student Union which accused Israel of perpetrating “war crimes” against the Palestinian people in Gaza.  Anteaters for Israel’s rally was pro-peace and called for Israelis and Palestinians to unite against Hamas.

Over the past seven years, Hamas and other radical Palestinian terror groups have launched over 8,000 terror attacks in Southern Israel.  Just like any other sovereign nation would, Israel must defend itself.

Hamas has imposed totalitarian rule upon the Palestinians living in Gaza.  Freedom of speech ceases to exist, and those who speak out against Hamas are either imprisoned, tortured, or killed.

To learn more about Hamas, read Isaac Yerushalmi, President of Anteaters for Israel’s article in this week’s New University - Hamas: Roadblock to Peace.
