Amman- 26August, 2014
The Deanship of Student Affairs at the German Jordanian University in cooperation with the GJU students organized an event including a donation campaign that is lasting for one week to support GAZA.
The event was mainly aiming at supporting the “Gazans “who are suffering from the horror of war, through a group of students who considered the largest age-group of the Jordanian society with the desire and power to serve and support the Gazans as much as they can.
Prof. Natrheer Abu Obeid, the GJU President thanked the Deanship and students for organizing such an event that help make many people aware of the issue of Gaza and support Gazans as well.
He also denounced the Israeli assault on Gaza, expressing the university’s support for the Palestinian people, saying that when it comes to Palestine then we are all Palestinians, quoting some statements for Nelson Mandela , Noam Chomsky, and many others especially for some musicians like Roger waters to clarify his proposal and vision in reaching out the cultural boycott of Israel.
Moreover, the president called on all students to interact with the writers, artists and intellectuals across the world, who are friends of the Arabs and Palestinian people, and standing against the Israeli polices to strengthen the boycott of Israel.
A living example of that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement (BDS Movement), the strategy that allows people of conscience to play an effective role in the Palestinian struggle for justice.
For their parts, some of GJU students presented poems, expressing their solidarity with Gaza and describing their inner anger against Israeli occupation. Through some modest contributions, they believe they can effectively make an impact on the social, cultural, political conditions.
