At famously loud Berkeley, pro-Palestinian protests have grown quieter

Politico  

“It definitely is a different political moment,” said Luca Dhagat, co-chair of the Young Democratic Socialists of America chapter at UC Berkeley, a group that has been involved in pro-Palestinian organizing at the university. Dhagat drew a comparison to racial justice protests after the summer of 2020: “When we don’t see much in terms of actual change or actual improvement, people get demoralized.” Pressure from above University administrators’ summertime push to ward off future encampments has made it harder to organize events that directly pressure campus leaders, multiple pro-Palestinian activists said, adding that it has also made many students fearful of facing disciplinary consequences. “There’s no safe option that could actually mean something.” New rules at UC Berkeley prohibit protesters from blocking major corridors like Sather Gate. A handful of signs at the event contained rhetoric endorsing violence, according to footage taken by NBC Bay Area and a report from student newspaper The Daily Californian — including one that read “Israel Deserves 10,000 Oct 7ths.” Rich Lyons, UC Berkeley’s new chancellor, said in a video message shared with campus last week he was “deeply concerned” about the signs as well as reports of threats made toward protesters.
