Arizona State University students protested the visit of Nadav Weinberg, an Israeli soldier who came to speak to students about his experiences serving in Israel’s army.  The protesters voiced their opposition to the Israeli army through a silent protest.

Shortly after Weinberg began speaking protestors took off their jackets to unveil their red shirts that had the names, ages and dates of innocent civilians whose lives were taken by Israeli troops. Protestors covered their mouths with red tape to express solidarity with the victims. One sign held up by a protestor in the back of the room read: “Giving Voice to Civilians Silenced by IDF Policy.”

The room was nearly empty after protestors ended the demonstration by walking out in silence.  Students from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor held a similar protest when an Israeli soldier came to the school’s campus recently.
