Bring Them Home Now!
BU Students for Israel, supported by BU Hillel, held an event on Marsh Plaza December 1 called “Bring Them Home Now!” asking the BU community to show solidarity with Israel and demand that all remaining hostages be returned home from Gaza. The 137 chairs, each with a photo, or more than one photo, of a hostage attached, represent those still being held hostage. The circle of chairs represents the 113 hostages released so far. The same day, BU Students for Justice in Palestine held an Emergency Die-In the GSU Link.
