Amaya is not alone. Previously, we have also spoken to other Jewish students who were scared to talk to us on camera.“I don't agree anymore with being silent, because it's just affecting my friends too here,” said Hannah.Some of the protesters' chants, Amaya said, included slogans that promote Israeli erasure, and were painful to hear. Such as, “From the River to the Sea.”
“There are still people who lost loved ones. So for people to say, which I've heard before, life has, quote unquote, returned to normal in Israel. That's not true for those families and friends that lost a loved one,” said Hannah.
