Arab students at Bar-Ilan University have initiated a "Campus Without Weapons" campaign following the indictment of a lecturer accused of planning terrorist attacks against Arab citizens. The campaign was launched amid fear and anxiety among students ahead of the new academic year.
Mohammed Ramadan, the coordinator for the Student Front, stated in an interview that the campaign has gathered 400 signatures so far. He noted a lack of cooperation from Jewish students due to ideological differences. "Our concern is our safety and security," Ramadan said.
Ramadan added that if the university administration rejects their demand to ban weapons on campus, they plan to escalate their legal protest and appeal to the Supreme Court. The students' action comes in response to the serious charges against the university lecturer.
