“The Gaza solidarity camp at the University of Pennsylvania was definitely one of the most transformative moments of my life. I have never felt so in tune with what I was meant to do or meant to be. I think that that is probably the point in my life where I woke up every day, and I really did feel a sense of purpose.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Alia Amanpour Trapp, Temple University senior:
“The personal consequences have certainly been difficult to endure. And attending university is absolutely a luxury and a privilege that I intend on using for the betterment of my family and my community. And, so, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but the disciplinary action means nothing when there is no first day of school in Gaza and there is no educational infrastructure in Gaza. They are enduring a 'scholasticide' amidst a genocide. And, so, although I care about my personal accomplishments and my personal academics deeply, it is always Palestine as a priority, Palestine first, the Palestinian people first, and centering the ongoing genocide.”

STORYLINE:
Temple University senior Alia Amanpour Trapp reflects on her activism involving protesting the war in Gaza, saying she wanted to be part of a community committed to change.
Trapp started the school year on probation after being arrested twice last semester during pro-Palestinian protests. Within days, she was back on the university's radar for another demonstration.
Trapp, a political science major, devotes much of her time outside classes to Students for Justice in Palestine, which led her to the back-to-school protest on Aug. 29.
The group of a few dozen protesters made several stops, including outside the Rosen Center, a hub of Jewish life that is home to Temple’s Hillel Chapter.
Trapp said they were not out to intimidate anyone, but to condemn Hillel for what she called its support of Zionism.
Tent encampments, now forbidden on many campuses, so far have not returned.
