WorldBirzeit University memorial destruction aims to crush Palestinian memory
Israeli soldiers raided Birzeit University near Ramallah, demolished the Martyrs’ Monument listing 38 students and alumni killed by Israel, and replaced it with a fig sapling marked “Water it twice.” The university condemned the move as a violation of international law and an attack on education and national memory. Students later protested at the site.
