(The Center Square)– Add the University of Wisconsin to the list of schools experiencing anti-Israel protests.
Groups of students began to gather Monday on the campuses in Madison and Milwaukee, joining pro-Hamas groups on campuses across the country after the terrorist organization invaded Israel in October, killing more than 1,000 men, women and children and taking hundreds hostage.
Reports from the protest in Madison say the crowd chanted “From the river to the sea,” a mantra that essentially means eliminating Israel. Some in the crowd carried signs that read “Divest from genocide” and “Be free Palestine.”
