Pro-Palestinian protests continue in the US. Several universities have turned to law enforcement authorities to break up gatherings. Several colleges have closed campuses, and hundreds of students have been arrested. Los Angeles police said on Thursday that 93 people had been arrested for trespassing at the University of Southern California (USC) amid protests over the mounting death toll in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The pro-Palestinian protest at USC was among the latest to take place at campuses across the United States that have seen confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement. The Israel-Hamas war was sparked by the Hamas-led terror attacks in southern Israel on October 7 that left around 1,200 people dead and saw 250 taken hostage. Since then, Israel has launched an expansive ground offensive throughout the Palestinian territory, which Hamas-led health authorities said has killed over 34,300 people, mainly women and children, and led to a humanitarian crisis.

America oppresses protesters, yet America would gladly fuel protests in other countries. What an irony!

Anti Zionism does not mean Anti Semitic. People keep mixing those two different words and conflating them with each other. Stop it.

The attempts to conflate protests against genocide w antisemitism is truly disturbing. "Stop wasting your parents money". What a total clown.

We Americans are tired of the genocide in Gaza and the Israelis calling us anti-semitic for calling out what they are doing.

University administrators forget that they work for students. Instead, they treat universities like their own mini empires.

The title is mad! What’s behind students not liking a people to be wiped out and murdered? I don’t know. Strange students.

Those of us who remember the Chinese student protests in 1989 and the Iranian students' protests in 1999 also remember the all-over condemnation of the actions taken by the Chinese and Iranian regimes. Now the same things are happening in the US, in the Great Democracy. Where are the condemnations from those that condemned China and Iran? The world has become a charade run by money, religion and greed. Nothing of human value seems important anymore. Speaker Johnson calling the demonstrations nonsense shows how unqualified he is to have any official role. These young students protesting genocide are the heart and soul of Democracy.
