TEHRAN, April 30 (MNA) – Hundreds of university students in Lebanon protested on Tuesday against Israel's bombardment of Gaza, inspired by recent pro-Palestinian demonstrations that have rocked US and European campuses.

Download 16 MB Dozens of students gathered at the prestigious American University of Beirut (AUB), some wearing the traditional Arab keffiyeh scarf that has long been a symbol of the Palestinian cause, an AFP photographer said.

"We are Palestine's neighbours.

If we do not stand with them today, who will?" asked AUB student Zeina, 23, declining to provide her surname.

"Around the world, students my age, from our generation, are the ones raising their voices," she added.
