In the wake of the October 7th terror attacks, the 12-day Iran war, and during one of Israel’s most critical moments in modern history, a diverse delegation of student leaders from 24 major US universities arrived in Israel to participate in an intensive, 10-day activist mission. The students also toured the site of the Nova Festival massacre, standing on the grounds where hundreds of young people were slaughtered or abducted; toured the city of Sderot; heard from local residents and survivors; visited the destroyed police station; and concluded the day at the Tkuma “car graveyard,” where hundreds of burned and bullet-ridden vehicles from the attack are preserved as a memorial. Aliyah Cohen from Bucknell University said: "As Jews, we have not only the right but the responsibility to defend our people and our homeland, and this Israel advocacy mission is equipping me to do exactly that, even from my small college campus in the middle of Pennsylvania."
