Palestinian students mark the Nakba in Tel Aviv

Palestinian students at Tel Aviv University marked the 70th anniversary of the Nakba by singing the Palestinian national anthem Mawtini (My Home Land), written by poet Ibrahim Tuqan (1905-1941).

Students said the absentee funeral prayer for Palestinians who were killed in Gaza Strip on Monday and carried slogans on cardboard that condemned the Israeli army's use of lethal weapons. 

Translation: In one voice, Palestinian students sing Mawtini in a sit-in at Tel Aviv University today, marking the 70th anniversary of the Nakba.
