An event at Rutgers University featuring an Israeli soldier was disrupted when a Jewish student stood up and openly condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza, citing the mass killing of Palestinians, including journalists, healthcare workers and children.
The student condemned attempts to justify the genocide and challenged the speaker directly in front of the audience.
The confrontation unfolded amid growing opposition on campus to hosting Israeli military figures and potential war criminals, with boycott calls already circulating.
Invoking “never again,” the student argued the phrase must apply to everyone, not selectively, and warned that those responsible for the mass killing of Palestinians would face justice.
“Never again means never again for everybody.”
