A group of University of Wisconsin students participated in a demonstration on campus endorsing Hamas terrorists' attack against Israel, and the university declined to condemn the chants heard at the event.

The students were observed holding Palestinian flags in front of the university's library as one woman was heard shouting into a microphone, "Glory to the murders!" and "We will liberate the land — by any means necessary!"

The university described the chants celebrating Hamas' largest attack on Israel in decades as "respectful dialogue" that it allows on and off campus.

"The university is not able to restrict First Amendment protected speech, nor does a speaker, rally, or protest on campus constitute the university’s endorsement of the message," a spokesperson for the school said in a statement to the New York Post.

The spokesperson also purported that the demonstrators were chanting, "Glory to the martyrs." But the spokesperson did not dispute the chant that said, "We will liberate the land — by any means necessary!"

The school declined to comment when pressed by the Post on whether the use of the term "martyrs" was appropriate since the Hamas terrorists killed, kidnapped and raped Israeli civilians.
