Princeton Students Incarnate "Israels" Separation Wall
Local Editor 10-04-2010
US Princeton University organized building a separation wall on Princeton campus, representing that of "Israel" in the Palestinian occupied territories.
The 16-foot wall, made of wood and Styrofoam, witnessed a student protest, by the Princeton Committee on Palestine (PCP), and Amnesty International (AI) against the wall.
Yoel Bitran, PCP president, told The Daily Princetonian, "The group wanted to give Princeton students the opportunity to imagine what it would be like to grow up or go to school in a place surrounded by a prison of concrete and metal".
Bitran added, "While most students understand that "Israel's" policies in the occupied territories are fundamentally wrong, the group aims to help people understand the suffering of Palestinians and realize the urgency of doing something about it".
PCP and AI hoped to let people know about a strong and growing pro-Palestinian movement at Princeton University, and about the possibility of being part of this historical struggle.
