The student uprising exposed the crisis of American foreign policy

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, in the continuation of the analysis related to the huge student uprising in America against Because of the brutal crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people, the American magazine Foreign Policy, in a note written by Columbia University professor Howard W. French, announced that the demonstrations in American universities present a series of demands that begin with stopping the genocide in Gaza, but the goal Not only that, but the protesters are demanding the withdrawal of investments from Israel and the disconnection between American and Israeli institutions.

According to this article, what started this great student movement was Israel’s brutal crimes against Gaza. Demonstrators are also protesting the American foreign policy in support of Israel, but they have no hostility towards Jews and do not seek to incite hatred against them. Protests across American universities were accompanied by a lot of reaction from university administrators and politicians, and many measures were taken to suppress these protests in a violent way. What is happening in the United States, contrary to the claims of the authorities, is not an academic cultural crisis, but a political crisis as a result of the American foreign policy and the country’s deep and close relations with Israel. Also, the great student movement in America that started at Columbia University has nothing to do with anti-Semitism; Rather, this movement is a result of Israel’s terrible and indiscriminate violence against the Palestinian people since October 7, 2023.

In the continuation of this note, it is stated that some prominent American politicians have accused these protesting students of spreading anti-Jewish hatred. they do. But what we see inside American universities are generally exemplary images, and these protesting students have even published very admirable codes of conduct and demanded cleanliness and respect for the privacy of others and no conflict with opponents.

This American publication added, now is the time It is time to ask, for example, if the current situation in Gaza were to happen elsewhere in the world, and the same protest movement that has started today in American universities, happened in another country and the protesters were suppressed like this, the American government officials How did they react? What can be easily guessed about the reaction of the American authorities in this regard is that if these brutal crimes that happen in Gaza, as well as this severe repression against the protesters that we see in American universities, happened anywhere else in the world, we should see the statements We were strongly condemned by the spokesmen of the US State Department, as well as strong-toned articles in the famous American press and their cries of “support for democracy”. Foreign Policy continued, there are also other questions. For example, how should a normal citizen react when he sees this amount of crime and violence in Gaza and its devastating effects, and in the context of witnessing the sending of American weapons to Israel and Washington’s clear support for this war? The answer is quite clear and the American student protests are a confirmation of the fact that the dual treatment of the American government is unbearable for the citizens of this country. This is while some politicians treat the protesters as a “threat”.

This note further states that the students at Columbia University and other universities teach the American society and the whole world the lesson of democracy with their peaceful protests. They give citizenship. They say that cruelty is enough and standing up to crime requires more effort than writing letters to members of Congress or waiting until the next election. Even if these students cannot force the American government to stop the war against the people of Gaza and the West Bank, at least they can prevent universities from supporting this war; As the protestors have demanded the disconnection of American scientific and educational institutions with Israeli institutions.
