The protesters called on the university administration to immediately shut down the group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTerror Supporters on Campus\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the protest, participants chanted: \u201cNakba is nonsense \u2013 the people of Israel live and will defeat their enemies. Anyone who doesn\u2019t recognize Israel shouldn\u2019t be studying at the taxpayer\u2019s expense!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minister Almog Cohen attended the protest. \u201cI will not stand by in the face of this disgrace. Holding a demonstration at a university in Israel during wartime is sheer madness,\u201d he said. \u201cIn a normal country, they would have been told on the spot that their ceremony is canceled. This isn\u2019t about left or right \u2013 it\u2019s basic common sense,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matan Jerafi, CEO of the Im Tirtzu movement, voiced strong criticism of the university administration\u2019s refusal to act against the Hadash group<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s a disgrace that the university administration refuses to dismantle the Hadash cell. Im Tirtzu will continue to stand on the front lines against those who hate Israel and will promote Zionist values on campus,\u201d said Jerafi.<\/p>\n<p>The demonstrators emphasized their intent to continue the struggle against what they called \u201cterror supporters on campus,\u201d urging the university to take firm steps to prevent similar incidents in the future.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23042\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23042\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23042 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-95-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-95-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-95-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-95-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-95-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-95.webp 1599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23042\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deputy Minister Almog Cohen at the protest at Tel Aviv University | Photo: Im Tirtzu spokesperson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>$125 Million Donation to Tel Aviv University<\/strong><br \/>\nAs previously reported last week, Jewish philanthropists Jonathan and Mindy Gray from the United States have pledged a $125 million donation to Tel Aviv University for immediate use.<\/p>\n<p>This is the largest donation in the university\u2019s history, and one of the largest ever made to an academic institution in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The donation will go toward expanding training programs in medicine and health-related professions, doubling the number of Arab and immigrant students, and building new dormitories with 600 beds to accommodate students from remote areas, Israel\u2019s social and geographic periphery, and the Haredi and Ethiopian communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were looking for a way to bring real change to Israel,\u201d said the Grays. \u201cSupporting an institution that trains the next generation of healthcare professionals is our way of contributing to national healing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dozens of activists and students demonstrated outside the campus, demanding the dismantling of the Hadash student group: \u201cAnyone who doesn\u2019t recognize Israel shouldn\u2019t study at the taxpayer\u2019s expense.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":23041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6],"tags":[5641,5643,5644,5647,5646,5642,5645,5295,5648],"class_list":["post-23039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-security","tag-almog-cohen","tag-hadash-student-cell","tag-im-tirtzu","tag-israeli-academia","tag-jonathan-and-mindy-gray","tag-nakba-day","tag-student-protest","tag-tel-aviv-university","tag-zionism-on-campus"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
