In this episode of our series Undercurrent, News Team’s Juanita Hurtado recaps the current state of the Hamas-Israel conflict following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas — and a Palestinian hit song from 2015 finding further relevance today.
On October 7th, the terrorist group Hamas launched a deadly attack against Israel during the Supernova festival held near the Gaza Strip. In response, Israel declared war against Palestine. Five days after the attack, CU students gathered in front of the University Memorial Center to protest that “1,400 people have been killed in Israel” and “at least 3,400 people have been killed in Gaza,” according to ABC News. This episode of Undercurrent examines CU students’ comments on the conflict.
