The Muslim Student Association held a display of graphic images and skits on the Friendship Walk Wednesday April 29th in awareness of the Israeli massacre against Palestinians.A student speaker narrated a skit acted out by club members which showed innocent Palestinians tied up side by side while Israeli soldiers questioned them at gun point.
According to the "Synopsis of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict" information flier MSA members were handing out, the conflict first ignited in the late 1800s when a European group decided to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
The group settling in to Palestine was known as the Zionists and were granted "55 percent of Palestine to Jewish state" by the United Nations in 1947.
During the 1947-1949 war, Zionists committed a total of 33 massacres and continued to take over Palestinian territory during the war in 1967.
When asked what was the purpose for having this two day event about the history of Israel and Palestine, an anonymous member said it was to bring awareness of what has happened and how "the United States is supporting Israel through tax money averaging up to $7 million."
