Maastricht University in the Netherlands has suspended a Palestinian student after he posted a video on social media expressing support for the October 7th Hamas-led attack on Israel. The 22-year-old student, from Gaza, filmed himself with friends on Instagram watching footage of Hamas terrorists during the massacre. In the video, he points to the screen and says, "This is me," while observing the atrocities.
The disturbing video circulated online, causing widespread outrage and leading to a complaint filed with the university administration. Given the severity of the student's actions and his apparent pride in acts of terror, the academic institution immediately announced his suspension from campus studies.
This incident occurs amidst rising tensions and a series of anti-Israel events in the Netherlands recently. Just days ago, reports emerged of harsh treatment and strict checks of Israeli travelers at Schiphol Airport due to new boycott laws. Now, the local academic sphere is also confronting open supporters of terrorism within its borders.
