In a post on the social media platform X, Ashrawi commended students, faculty, and staff for their courage and commitment to advocating for Palestinian rights. She described their actions as the voice of courage and humanity, emphasizing that they serve as an antidote to racism and genocide. Ashrawi also contrasted the protesters' stance with what she referred to as the complicity and criminality of the US government, portraying them as the conscience of the nation.
Furthermore, Ashrawi expressed gratitude and hope towards the individuals supporting the Palestinian cause, stating, 'You give us hope. We love you.' Her words reflect a deep appreciation for those who are actively working towards justice and equality for Palestinians.
