Israeli occupation forces attacking Palestinian students at Tel Aviv University reflects the notorious, racist conduct of the Israeli occupation that the Palestinian people have been suffering from since the Nakba. 

Israeli occupation troops and extremist, right-wing students assaulting Palestinian students at the university is a racist act aimed at suppressing the freedom of expression and a form of systematic terrorism against the Palestinian people, who are still suffering under the occupation for 74 years. 

These assaults confirm that the Israeli settler-colonial project, which has led to the dispossession of the Palestinian people in 1948, is still underway. 

This will prompt the Palestinian people to remain committed to holding on to their national identity and continuing their struggle until ending the occupation and achieving their aspiration for an independent Palestinian state.
