JUST LIKE AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS!

Cairo Students Rally Against Israel
Thousands of Egyptian university students have urged Arab leaders, meeting at a summit in Algeria, not to compromise with Israel with regard to the Middle East peace process. "We don't want meetings or negotiations again," the students chanted Tuesday at Cairo's Al-Azhar University. Students in the Egyptian capital and the southern town of Assiut also burned Israeli and American flags. Muhammad Nazzal, a Hamas political bureau member, spoke to the rally by telephone, saying: "We tell our leaders who are meeting in Algiers that the Palestinian people will never lay down our arms and that the banner of resistance will remain high."
