They lie, incite and don’t recognize Israel’s right to exist.”Danon also expressed a firm tone of conviction that Israel will remain strong, despite their efforts to destroy it.“I have an announcement for those students,” Danon affirmed. “The people of Israel will never leave the Land of Israel.”Read Israeli-designated terror group teaches 'Palestinian resistance' class at Columbia UniversityBy: World Israel News Staff BDSColumbia UniversityDanonPalestinian incitement
