The annual 'Peace in Israel' week continues on the campus of UC San Diego. Students with the organization Tritons for Israel are sponsoring several events advocating for Israeli self-determination.
At UC San Diego, the son of one of the founders of HAMAS will speak on campus. He is a guest and not a supporter of the Palestinian military organization since defecting to Israel. KPBS Education Reporter M.G. Perez has the story of the continuing controversy there.
On-campus activities included the display of a representation of the Western Wall outside the Geisel Library on Tuesday. “Everyone you meet has someone that was killed by Hamas on October 7 or by a missile," said Jonathan Elkhoury, an Israeli Christian visiting from Haifa. He was invited to campus to support students and share his experience living in the war zone.
