Birzeit, Occupied West Bank - National songs echoed throughout the West Bank's Birzeit University campus as students met during a demonstration on December 21 in solidarity with the students and faculty members detained by Israel.
The music abruptly stopped, and a young man with a microphone cried out to observers: "We come to you today, united in the name of Palestine, to defy Israel's strategy of arresting us, which it is enforcing without discrimination, regardless of political affiliation."
About 90 students and two faculty members at University have been arrested in the past few months amid an Israeli crackdown.
On Monday, Israeli occupation forces raided the university campus and destroyed the offices of the students blocs, according to a post on the university's facebook page.
The arrests have taken place amid an escalation in violence in the West Bank and Jerusalem since last October. An outbreak of mass demonstrations took place across Israel and the occupied territories by Palestinians in protest at Israeli raids into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the continued settlement expansion. In 2015, Israeli soldiers or settlers shot and killed 179 Palestinians, including unarmed protesters, bystanders and alleged attackers.
Since October 1, lone Palestinian assailants have killed 23 Israelis, including soldiers and civilians. Israel has also used the developments in the past several months to impose severe restrictions on Palestinians living in occupied East Jerusalem.
