Hundreds Arrested: Students Across U.S. Protest for Palestine as Campus Crackdown Intensifies
Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
Student protests calling for university divestment from Israel and the U.S. arms industry have rocked campuses from coast to coast. The nonviolent protests, which have been characterized as “antisemitic” for their criticism of Israel, have been met with an intensifying police crackdown as university administrators threaten academic discipline and arrests. On Wednesday, local and state troopers violently arrested dozens at the University of Texas at Austin. Meanwhile, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia University in New York City, the site of a high-profile student encampment and one of the first to be met with police action, where he called on university president Minouche Shafik to resign. We hear from two Jewish students involved in protests at their schools. Joshua Sklar, a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin and an organizer with Jewish Voice of Peace Austin, says concern over campus antisemitism is insincere, and that, in fact, “The people who are being targeted are Muslim students, Arab students, and especially Palestinian students.” Sklar and Sarah King, a member of Columbia University Apartheid Divest who was arrested at the campus’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment, also point out that a large percentage of protesters are Jewish anti-Zionists concerned about their safety from state repression. “The threat is really coming from Columbia University, which has set the police on hundreds of its students who are entrusted to its care,” says King.

Yes, they have; almost always in fact; Soviet revolution in 1918. Mao's "Cultural Revolution" in the 50s-60s, Iranian Revolution in 1978...there are more, but those three alone caused the deaths of ~70 million people in the last century. *There is no one less equipped to deal with the problems of the world than a 20 year old liberal arts student.* Their heads are literally full of nonsense. These children are cheerleading for Hamas, but then they were babies when 9/11 happened and have no concept of history, beyond what they've been told on Tik-Tock and by their radical leftist professors.

Seriously? Is that what the media told you to believe? Why aren't young people protesting about the politicians destroying America? There is a war in America right now but those brainwashed young people don't even realize it. Why aren't they protesting about the open borders and the millions of immigrants that are invading this country and committing crimes? Why aren't they protesting about the horrible economy state and the billions being printed? Probably because they only do what they are told to do and are incapable of think for themselves.
Dear students and the free citizens, May your efforts be a beacon of hope and transformation, inspiring further actions towards a just and equitable world.

As for McCarthyism, you are obviously unaware of the revelations that came from the Russian archives in the early 1990s in the aftermath of the USSR's collapse. I hate to bring it to you, but it turns out that McCarthy was not as wrong as the collective Left and academia would lead us to believe. The degree of the Soviet penetration of US institution and all facets of American life was absolutely astounding.

American Corporations have a vested interest in maintaining stability through Diplomacy and Military Force in the Middle East. Our relationship with Israel is primarily centered on this need and thus Israel has our financial and military support. Muslim extremists are a threat to that stability. Muslim countries in the Middle East want exclusive control of the oil markets and use terrorism to disrupt the United States and our allies in the region. Anti-semitism is used to stir up resentment and direct violence against the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Muslim countries in the Middle East resent the power the United States has and use religious fundamentalism in an effort to destroy Israel and attack US forces in the region. They finance and support terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East. Palestinians do not want peace they want to completely remove the Jews from Israel/Palestine. The Jews have a right to live in peace and have a historical claim to the land of Israel.

What is the purpose of elite universities. It is to produce people who are qualified to manage and lead American Corporations and Businesses. The people attending these universities who are protesting the war in Gaza are the Worst Kind of Hypocrites. Their goal is to become credentialed professionals and either start their own businesses or work for American or European Corporations. They want to enjoy and participate in the wealth and prosperity that these companies and western countries have created. War is ugly and sadly many people die and suffer. Countries compete and fight for control of limited resources. This is unavoidable. There is a price for our prosperity and it is paid in blood and treasure. These immature and self-righteous students benefit from that prosperity yet they want to wash their hands of their complicity so that they can defend their delusion of "moral superiority". If they really wanted a better world they would divest themselves of their corporate funded university education and live humble lives of poverty and simplicity!

I am writing from Italy with a translator. In Germany, Nazism began in a similar way. In Italy even using truncheons. The US ruling classes are attacking some nations of the world using other states as intermediaries. The ruling classes of European states are completely subservient to the interests of US lobbies. In Europe, people protesting the massacre of Palestinians are beaten. Europe counts for nothing, the only hope is the protests of the US people who can change the direction of the crazy policy that is leading to World War III. The elites of the city of London and the deep state of Washington do not want to understand that in this world everyone has the right to live, to escape poverty and hunger.

This is shame, regarding the troubling events unfolding at universities across the United States. The recent actions of law enforcement entering campuses and targeting students who advocate for ending the violence and suffering in Gaza is deeply distressing. As a supporter of justice and peace, witnessing such actions in the country who claimed defending democracy in the world is disheartening. The freedom to express solidarity with those affected by conflict should not be met with force and suppression. We must uphold the principles of democracy and human rights, ensuring that voices calling for peace are heard and respected. It is crucial for the press to shine a light on these matters and urge for accountability.

As a Palestinian American I deeply appreciate these students telling the world they care. I have family Arab Israeli that told me they do not believe the world cares about them. My family in Bethlehem Palestine says they don't believe Americans care about them. I hope these videos and these protests can show them that there are at least a few Americans that don't want Palestine removed from the Earth. The Israeli soldier that killed my aunt Huda Hawarjeh in Aida Bethlehem smiled on camera and said he was purifying the land. I have uploaded the video of the interview to my channel on youtube but it can also be found in the CBC covered it. There's also a hilarious Washington Post article where they try to justify the ambulances being blocked and left out the purification part.
