US students’ pro-Palestine movement shows ‘generational shift’
The pro-Palestine protests sweeping US universities mark a “real generational shift” that could herald a “reckoning” of the US’s relationship with Israel, says Mohamed Elmasry, media studies professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.
“This is the first time the Palestinian cause has become a domestic issue in the United States. It’s become more or less mainstream,” Elmasry told Al Jazeera.
“It’s not just Arab or Palestinian or Muslim students who are protesting on behalf of the Palestinian cause, but you have organisations like Jewish Voice for Peace, you have Black Lives Matter activists, you have Latino and Hispanic activist groups and many others.”
The growing protest movement, if its momentum continues, has the potential to “significantly” alter the US’s long-term relationship with Israel, Elmasry said.
“The United States is going through a kind of reckoning right now with the state of Israel and with Zionism more broadly. For the first time in the decades-long history of this relationship, millions of Americans are starting to ask why does the United States support Israel to the extent that it does,” he said.
“I think you will start to see changes… these young people are the future.”

If my generation had done this two decades ago, we could have prevented the Iraq War.
We're realizing how we've been manipulated after -48...always given the isr..lian and allieds version by mainstream..this might've been stopped long ago if truth had emerged...now the truth has become hard to hide and the young generation is first out to change point of view...and the process is unstoppable!! 🇵🇸❤️🇮🇹

Rather than a generational shift, this is an informational shift. Any decent human being who sees through the Zionist propaganda has to support the Palestinians. “A great day for Israel.” - Netanyahu on 9/11

So where are the Palestinian roots? Fathi Hamad, the interior minister in the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip said... "we all have Arab roots and every Palestinian in Gaza and all over Palestine can prove their Arab roots, whether they be in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, or anywhere else. Speaking personally, half of my family is Egyptian," he said. There are over 30 families in the Gaza Strip with the surname Al-Masri, 'Egyptian.' Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptian, and the other half are Saudi. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri whose roots are Egyptian! They come from Alexandria, Cairo, and Aswan. We are Egyptians." Palestinians are not even from Palestine! They are from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Yemen!!!!!😀!😄!!!!!!

Meanwhile, you are posting on Al Jazeera, the most blatantly pro Palestinian channel out there. And you cry about media bias? Don't make me laugh, love.
I cried yesterday and have decided not to work with New York Times anymore which was always my dream. Asking us American journalists and photojournalists to bend the truth for the sake of making America look good and the students look bad is not something I am not willing to do. It has shifted my view on our country, our government and the 1st Amendment. I will be seeking to work with international publications instead and to expose the lies America is wanting us to tell.
