American students across the country are not protesting, risking their futures and safety because of some pathological hate for Jews. They are doing so in rejection of, and justifiable outrage over, the mass killing carried out by Israel against defenseless civilians in Gaza.
America Is Rising for Gaza: What Should We Expect?
Student demonstrations against the war in Gaza have been marred by clashes and multiple arrests
Students have set up protest camps at more than 40 colleges across the US since mid-April, demanding that both Washington and their universities cut ties with Israel and put an end to the violence in Gaza.

The demonstrations, in which thousands have taken part, started peacefully, but clashes have erupted at some colleges as police moved in to disperse the gatherings, which had been deemed illegal. Hundreds have been arrested.
02 May 202419:31 GMTAssociated Press is now reporting that over 2,000 individuals have been arrested in connection with protests on US college campuses over the Israel-Palestine conflict.
17:30 GMTSenate leaders from both parties are pushing their members to agree on processing the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which sailed through the House on Wednesday, according to a CNN report that cites a Senate aide. This bill would make it a must for the Department of Education to use a definition of anti-Semitism proposed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance when enforcing anti-discrimination laws. Supporters say it’s vital for “tackling antisemitism” on campuses, but opponents fear it could stifle free speech. Despite a strong 320-91 vote in the House, resistance from both sides suggests Senate approval won’t come easy.
17:16 GMTIn the early hours of Thursday, a notable surge in protests occurred at UCLA, leading to the arrest of at least 132 individuals, according to Sgt Alejandro Rubio, a spokesperson for the CHP Southern Division. Rubio informed Associated Press: “The number could be higher, but that’s the latest information I have.” The arrested persons are presently being conveyed for processing at the inmate reception center at the county jails complex near downtown Los Angeles.
17:15 GMTKirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico witnessed a demonstration on Thursday morning, when about two dozen protesters staged a sit-in on a road, obstructing access to one of the base’s main gates. Brandishing flags, the group vocally pledged to “shut everything down” in opposition to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
15:27 GMTDuring a live address on campus pro-Palestine protests, US President Joe Biden underscores that while the First Amendment protects free speech, violence and hate speech are unequivocally condemned. When questioned by reporters about whether the protests will alter his Israel-Palestine policy, Biden responded with a firm “No.”
14:10 GMTTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has lashed out at the US over its clampdown on pro-Palestinian protesters at colleges across the country.
“I’ve Never Seen This Many Police”: NYPD Launch Crackdown
The destruction of camps set up by the demonstrators and multiple arrests are “an example of hypocritical policies of those who teach us lessons of freedom in the Gaza massacre,” he said. Students “are exposed to violence and torture,” while the academics “are fired and lynched,” Erdogan claimed.According to the Turkish leader, the lack of international condemnation of the actions by the US authorities can be explained by the fact that “Israel’s interests draw the boundaries of Western democracy.”
12:52 GMTFormer President Donald Trump has criticized US leader Joe Biden for his reluctance to issue a statement directly addressing the ongoing protests at colleges across the country.“This is a radical left revolution taking place in our country,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.“Where is crooked Joe Biden? Where is governor Newscum? The danger to our country is from the left, not from the right!!!” he said, referring to Biden and Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom.
12:12 GMT Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department and the California Highway Patrol have made their way into the encampment of pro-Palestinian demonstrators at UCLA, ABC News, Fox News and other outlets have reported.Videos from the scene have captured officers dismantling barricades and using what looks like stun grenades and rubber bullets against the protesters. Some students were heard shouting “We’re not leaving!” and “Who do you protect?” as they tried to defend the camp. A number of people have reportedly been detained.
10:44 GMT Palestinians in Gaza have shown gratitude to those taking part in the US college protests, CNN has reported. It said that, over the past few days, children have been seen at refugee camps across the enclave, holding signs and banners featuring the names of different universities and captions like “thanks for your solidarity.”A doctor at al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the Palestinian enclave told the broadcaster that he was “over the moon” due to reports of protests because it meant “that around the world there are human beings who know what is happening here in Gaza Strip right now.”
10:37 GMT An encampment of pro-Palestine demonstrators at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire was dismantled by police late on Wednesday, just hours after being erected. At least 90 people were arrested for trespassing and resisting officers, according to the police.New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has thanked the security forces for “quickly” reacting to the situation. “Peaceful protests are fine, breaking the law is not,” the governor wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
MAYDAY- Israeli massacre of children in Rafah *screenshots- restricted video
Translation — Barbaric slaughter by the Zionist army tonight against Palestinian children who were hiding from the bombs in the Shaboura refugee camp, in Rafah, south of Gaza.
The incommunicado media will not show you these images, not because they care about you and try to avoid hurting your sensitivity, but to hide and soften the Zionist genocide in Gaza.
If it were Russia or China that perpetrated this genocide, the “press” would not hesitate to show them to you…see video HERE ….. https://twitter.com/DaniMayakovski/status/1785460524454641778

Every time a mercenary puts on an NYPD uniform, selling their capacity to inflict violence to the highest bidder, they are committing treason against humanity.
We salute the courage of those occupying the university. This struggle is far from over.
Background on the movement at Columbia:

In bringing in thousands of police with batons, shields, less-lethal grenades, and chemical weapons to brutalize student protesters, the administration of Columbia University shows that all of its rhetoric about “student safety” is mendacious.
“I’ve Never Seen This Many Police”: NYPD Launch Crackdown o
Like the other university administrations around the country that have done the same thing, they are simply pursuing profit and authoritarian control.
If we want people in Palestine, students in the United States, or anyone else to be safe, it’s up to us.
A Report from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Gaza Solidarity Encampment
read…https://crimethinc.com/UIUC
All around the United States and now in Canada, Australia, and several European cities, students have established encampments protesting the bloodshed taking place in Gaza.
Over the past few days, more than a thousand people have been arrested in police raids targeting these encampments. Yet despite the high-profile assaults on Columbia University and other occupations, many encampments have managed to stand their ground, even in the face of repeated police attacks.
In this report, participants in the Gaza solidarity protest encampment at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign recount their experiences learning to hold their ground.
We’ve translated it because it is a beautiful and inspiring expression of how the struggle for liberation and mutual aid has persisted across centuries against all odds.
“Mayday is an international distress signal in radio communications, similar to the SOS signal in telegraph communications.
This is an approximation of the French phrase ‘m’aidez,’ a shortened version of the phrase ‘venez m’aider'(meaning ‘come to my aid,’ ‘help me’).
On this day, we offer to come to each other’s aid (what Peter Kropotkin called ‘mutual aid’).
“We appeal to you: wherever you are—under fire, in a hospital, in prison, in a foreign country, trying to find a way to earn money, in your native country where you risk becoming a victim of torture by the authorities—we want to remind you that you are not alone.
We want to be with you in spirit, no matter how difficult it may be right now.
“Anarchism never died. Throughout the bloody history of the 20th century. it survived and developed. If you are reading these lines, that means you are also involved in our great cause.
How many times have anarchist periodicals addressed their readers on May 1? How many times have anarchists feared that anarchism might die and totalitarian countries and fascists would win?
“We will continue, as our predecessors did. We will not give up because we are coming to help each other.”
For a short history of this day of celebration and resistance across a century and a half:

The Japanese people have had enough of their government and the pharmaceutical industry getting away with murder.
The relatives of people who died after getting “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) are demanding compensation from the Japanese government, which like the United States government pushed the shots in a format similar to Operation Warp Speed.
Relatives of the now-deceased have been sharing testimony before a government and press panel about what happened to their loved ones who took the injections, thinking they would provide protection, but died.
Plaintiff No. 7, as they are calling the person in the video below, explained as part of a class-action lawsuit how COVID jabs took the life of the plaintiff’s 19-year-old son in Fukushima, the same prefecture where a massive earthquake occurred back on March 11, 2011.
“My son had his third dose of the vaccine on May 1, 2022,” Plaintiff No. 7 explained. “Then, in the early hours of May 4 at 4:30 a.m., he suddenly shouted and immediately after went into cardiac arrest.”
“He was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and put on ECMO, but he passed away a week later on May 11. He was only 19 years old. He couldn’t even celebrate his coming of age. On my birthday, he was absent while the numerical candles were on the birthday cake we ate.”
(Related: Did you know that 70 percent of COVID jab deaths in Japan occur within 10 days of injection?)
Plaintiff No. 7 would go on to explain how sad the birthday was without the son, who worked at a pharmaceutical company prior to his passing. The young man suffered side effects after his first and second doses and was not planning to take a third until his employer forced him to comply.
“The president also strongly urged him, resulting in him getting vaccinated,” Plaintiff No. 7 continued. “He was happy that the side effects were the least after the third dose.”
“He said he would go to sleep as usual the day before his cardiac arrest happened. Yet, such a thing has occurred. As a result of getting vaccinated for the sake of his company and to protect himself, he lost his life at the young age of 19.”
Plaintiff No. 7 emphasized repeatedly how life is no longer the same without the son – and this is just one of many such cases that the families of Japanese victims are sharing in an effort to attain justice for the crimes against humanity their loved ones endured.
