Pro-Palestinian demonstrations surge at US campuses after Columbia University arrests

Growing outrage over Israel's war on Gaza has sparked protests at major universities in the US
Students at Yale, Columbia and New York University have been holding sit-in protests on campus, defying demands to stop.
More than 100 students have been arrested so far, as officials scramble to defuse the growing movement.

I condemn genocide, I do not support murder.

The purpose of demonstration is not to against Jews and not on any other human beings but against the genocide war and criminal wars

33, 000 dead in Gaza didn’t feel safe, either.

[Daka]

Complicity in genocide and conflict of interest for sure .Straight forward

Try to suppress them all you want. You will fail. This is how you will be defeated one day. It will rise within your country. These kids are the future leaders and legislators.

Antizionism is not antisemitism. Just so you know Palestinians are also Semites

[kalibo-]

Reminds me of the anti Vietnam war days. These kids are on the right side of history.

"if you do not leave, you'll be arrested." sounds like Israel settlers 😂😂

The Real story is our leaders are not listening to the vast majority of the population. Not just on this, but on economic and quality of life issues.
