Gaza War Protests Erupt Across College Campuses Nationwide

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING College campuses across the country have become home to protests and encampments against Israel’s war on Gaza — leading to hundreds of arrests. President Joe Biden has condemned any antisemitism on college campuses as protesters at Columbia University spent their fifth day demanding the school sever financial ties with companies that aid in the war. pic.twitter.com/mQaoctmT9H — Justin O'Connor April 23, 2024 “We condemn any and all hateful or violent comments targeting Jewish students; however, in shutting down public protest and suspending students, the actions of the University of Columbia are not ensuring safety for Jewish students ― or any students ― on campus,” progressive group Jewish Voice for Peace said in a statement on Monday. The White House joined university administrators earlier this week in condemning the protests, presuming that Jewish students in the U.S. automatically support Israel’s military offensive in Gaza ― a dangerous assumption that JVP said is “actively harming Palestinian and Jewish students.” “The administration has not only harassed Jewish students and failed to ensure their safety and well-being, it has also obstructed their religious observances during Shabbat and prevented them from accessing their Jewish community on the eve of Passover,” JVP continued. In doing so, the administration has prevented these Jewish students from practicing their religion.” White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates told reporters Tuesday that Biden is “aware of the protests” and that “this is a painful moment for many communities.” “But as I said, when we witness calls for violence; physical intimidation; hateful, antisemitic rhetoric, those are unacceptable,” Bates said.
