University of Michigan Campus

On October 20 2010, two IDF soldiers came to the University of Michigan campus as part of a national PR campaign by Stand With Us aimed at justifying Israel's recent atrocities in the Middle East. Students, staff, and community members collectively engaged in a silent walk-out in memory and in solidarity with all of the silenced Palestinian children that were killed by the IDF during Israel's most recent offensive on the Gaza Strip who are unable to take a stand and give their account today.

@noofs1 as a jew who whose family died in great numbers during the holocaust - criticism of Israel in no way is or should be equated to antisemitism. To anyone who disagrees with me ... travel to Palestine... see the intolerable situation in palestine. See the pain inflicted on Palestinians by Israel and tell me they should respond differently. After how we, Jews, have been treated for centuries how dare any Jew inflict similar persecution on a defenseless and innocent people. Shame on Israel.

Right on. That has to happen everywhere the IDF and the rest of the Israeli government criminals go.

What on earth an Israeli defence force soldier ( IDF) is doing in a school Campus in Michigan USA ????

When you listen to the IDF soldier you will discover that not one single thing of what he was saying was true, all what he was saying are lies, lies, and lies. I salute all the students who left the class proving that in the USA there are still few who are not submitted to the Jews.

@gorgiematt It's doing nothing wrong? Are you blind? 1. it stole land illegally and is now occupying Palestine. 2. they claim self defense against the indigenous people who have every right to fight for their land back. 3. they kill innocents and justify it and somehow the world laps it all up 4. they don't even afford the basic necessities to the people whose land it is!!! 5. they're cowards and kill little kids who throw stones.
