Why the escalation of student protests in America?
The widespread anti-Zionist protests of students in American universities, which were accompanied by violent police action, and spread to universities in Europe and Australia, are gradually turning into a widespread and noisy movement in countries that few thought of under the strong support of their governments. From the Zionist regime, an opposing voice should be heard from them.
The endless atrocities of the Zionist regime against the innocent people of Gaza have hurt the conscience of the people of the world to the extent that it is no longer possible to suppress the voices of opposition in European and American countries against Tel Aviv’s policies.
In the past few days, following the approval of billion-dollar aid in the US Congress for the Zionist regime, anti-war protests in the US have increased significantly. The spark of protests that started at Columbia University quickly spread to Harvard, New York, Yale, Massachusetts, Emory, Michigan, Brown, Humboldt Polytechnic, Berkeley, Southern California, Texas, Minnesota, and several other universities and ended within a few days. from universities in Europe and Australia.
The student protest against the US financial and military aid to the Zionist regime in the war against Gaza started about 2 weeks ago from Columbia University; This is the same university that in the 1960s initiated the wave of protests against the American war in Vietnam. In the 1960s, a student movement arose in the United States to demand “freedom of expression” on university campuses, but as the country’s involvement in the Vietnam War intensified, the war became the main goal of student protests.
According to the latest news, according to a document from the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is now known that there are doubts in this ministry about providing financial aid to the Zionist regime, and it seems that the most important factor is the continuation of student protests in universities across the country. A problem that shows that student movements, like during the Vietnam War, have a decisive power in changing the political and field equations.
American students introduce their protests as “anti-war”. They have called on universities to refrain from investing their university assets in arms companies or other industries supporting the Zionist regime’s war in Gaza, thus preventing “genocide”. One of the most important demands of the students is to establish a cease-fire in the war of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip.
