“These students are the living conscience of our society,” writes Mustafa Khader. “They are the lanterns of light who are taking us forward to a better future and reigniting the desire for freedom, justice and equality for all.”
A protester waves a Palestinian flag as law enforcement order them to disperse during the pro-Palestine rally at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on Monday, April 29, 2024.As a Palestinian-American, my first assumption was that the encampment was erected in opposition to what is taking place in Gaza.
It was great to see the reincarnation of the spirit of freedom in our young students. Speakers at the U. encampment represented the environmental movement, the LGBTQIA+ movement, women’s rights, religiously devout students anddancers, among others. These students are the living conscience of our society. They are the lanterns of light who are taking us forward to a better future and reigniting the desire for freedom, justice and equality for all. They are indeed a refreshing hope.
I would like to end with a passage from Khalil Gibran’s “The Prophet” as a message to our leaders who refuse to listen to the voice of reason:And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.And He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
