Several dozen University of Memphis students held a rally and a march in support of the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered young people attending a music festival, massacred entire families and beheaded babies.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” the students chanted as they marched through campus waving Palestinian flags. That chant has become symbolic of those wanting to destroy the nation of Israel. Watch video of the protest below.

One of the speakers condemned Gov. Bill Lee for his decision to lower state flags in memory of those who were slaughtered by the Muslim terrorists.

 

 

“Flags over the Tennessee State Capitol will be flown at half-staff through Friday in remembrance of the innocent Israeli & American lives lost during the horrific terrorist attacks,” the governor said.

The governor added that Tennessee “continues to stand in unwavering support & solidarity with Israel.”

“This statement stigmatizes us and reinforces negative stereotypes and misconceptions in context of Palestinians,” one student protester said, accusing Israel of genocide, ethnic cleansing and taking land away from the Palestinians.

She also appeared to defend the mass slaughter of innocent Israelis.

“There is no such thing as innocent civilians under the context of settler colonialism,” she said. “Palestinian resistance and the genocide of ethic cleansing of their land and their people is not terrorism.”
