In response to the ongoing violence in Gaza, Michigan State University students staged a "die-in." Students let their bodies speak out against the conflict by pretending to lie dead around the MSU campus. They hope to spread awareness about the conflict by symbolizing those people who have already died.


Dua Aldasouqi, MSU student demonstrator: "Trying to get people to realize that 900 people have already been massacred and a lot of US tax money goes into that."


Students also passed out flyers to promote a "teach-in" happening on Wednesday. Professors and students will come together to learn about and discuss the situation in the Middle East.
