As seen in the news, the promotion of “SAVE GAZA” is due to the genocidal war going on in the Gaza Strip towards Palestinians. Publications like The New York Times are keeping a live track of what is happening from statistics and what the US is deciding to do in other countries as well. As of February 19th, The Times said, “Israel’s assault in Gaza has killed more than 29,000…marking another grim milestone in one of the deadliest and most destructive military campaigns in recent history.” This has been covered through the media internationally and nationally, but some argue that it is not enough. As well as the US not making any movement, “For the third time, the United States used its veto on the Security Council to kill a resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.” said The New York Times.   

As mentioned, this crisis is being covered internationally and nationally, but have you looked around the campus? Currently, protest art has been discovered on the wooden bridge connecting the Swanson Center and the library in the morning. The display is black spray painted repeatedly with the phrase “SAVE GAZA.” Many questions are now placed. Who did it? How is campus security handling this situation? What is the purpose of this art? However, the main question is, what does Piedmont have to say?
