Jewish Students Show Solidarity with Gaza During Sukkot Despite Crackdown from Universities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in the U.S., Jewish students across the country say college
administrators have cracked down on their Gaza solidarity sukkahs, which
have been set up over the past week to mark the holiday of Sukkot. In
some cases, schools have destroyed the sukkah huts. Jewish Voice for
Peace said in a statement, "These universities desecrate these students'
Jewish practice because their faith is intertwined with their solidarity
with the Palestinian people. A university has no right to dictate what
types of Jewish practice are legitimate."
