Gaza war protests: Is this a rising student movement to be reckoned with? | DW News
Protests against the war in Gaza have spread to universities across the United States. Several colleges have closed campuses, and hundreds of students have been arrested.
In New York, Columbia University has extended a deadline by 48 hours for student protesters to clear the campus. The university says students have agreed to dismantle a number of tents.
Police have warned they will clear the entire camp, if the demonstrators fail to leave.

Don't mix anti-semitism with anti-zionism. And if there was a word to describe anti-Palestinians, that word would apply to most Israelis
Him calling for a ceasefire while at the same time continuing to arm the aggressor is not genuine. So no the goal post has not moved.
Criticizing Israel or the two state solution is not antisemitism. That is a policy position.

The young people in the USA, in Israel, and elsewhere in the world can make a change! They did it earlier also. Remember that once upon a time, when the USA was fighting a hypocritical and cruel war against a nation in distress, Vietnam, it was the young people who rose and discredited this war, made it impossible to continue, and, for the time being, they changed the world.
More journalists have lost their lives in Gaza than in any other conflict. A crime against humanity
It seems perfectly reasonable that the US should put conditions on the aid that was just approved in the Congress. Netanyahu’s goals are completely unrealistic and this will be a bloody, endless muddle unless the US tries to shape the outcome.

Don’t give up. Make a stand now for the sake of everyone in Palestine.
"They vote with their pocketbooks, they vote on social issues" what part of this is not a social issue? This is not a foreign policy issue, these is about moral principles and justice. Pls stop conflating this as a foreign policy issue when it's obviously not. And DW must challenge this obviously flawed reasoning!

And still holding 132 hostages and refuses peace talks, what do you call that? I can’t believe what we have become! Totally clueless about history, current events and even religion.
