ROME – Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem has criticised the anti-Israel protests taking place on college and university campuses throughout the United States, saying academic institutions ought to be places of peaceful exchange.
“I confess that I struggle to understand it. Universities are places where cultural engagement, even heated, even harsh, must be open 360 degrees, where engagement with strong ideas that are completely different, must be expressed not with violence, not with boycotts, but knowing how to engage,” he said
