The awakening of the new generation of America and its impact on the future of relations with Israel

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, in the past few weeks, a huge protest movement in American universities against The occupation regime’s crimes against the defenseless Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip have become one of the main developments related to the Gaza war in the world media and there are numerous analyzes in this regard.

In the same context, Al Jazeera Network has analyzed the impact of the American student uprising against the Zionist regime on the future of relations with this regime in a note written by “Mohammed Al-Mashavi”.

The shock of the American society from the uprising of the elites against the Zionists

To examine this issue, first of all, we must note that the majority of Americans at the time They supported Israel at the beginning of the Zionist regime’s aggression on the Gaza Strip, but American public opinion, like European countries, has changed significantly over the past six months, and the majority of them are against this destructive war by the Zionists against the Palestinian people.

It can be clearly seen in the polls and the movements and demonstrations that took place in the streets of major American cities. At the same time, the American officials have also been forced to change the tone of their discourse regarding the Gaza war, and the President of the United States, Joe Biden, who sees his position in the upcoming American elections in danger, has had to put pressure on him during the recent period. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, to reconsider his military actions in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, during the past weeks, the huge student movement in the United States, which has spread to hundreds of universities in this country and is supported by famous universities and It is led by prestigious universities such as Harvard and Columbia and Bill and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It creates a new and effective dynamic in the American people’s protests against the occupation regime’s brutal war against the Gaza Strip and the American government’s support for this war.

It is worth mentioning here that most American families wish for their children to study in prominent universities that are currently witnessing protest movements against the Zionist regime, and they train their children from childhood in such a way that they can enter these universities in the future; Because they know that the graduates of these universities actually build the future of the United States and will be the future leaders of this country. /strong>

On this basis, the continuation of the suppression of protesting students in these universities and the violence that Joe Biden’s government uses against them has caused the widespread anger of American public groups. In a situation where the first amendment of the American constitution emphasizes the absolute right to freedom of speech and the freedom of peaceful assembly, and also in the shadow of many claims that the American government has about the right to freedom of speech, the images of brutal attacks by police officers and armed forces of the National Guard on students and professors The prestigious universities of this country are very intolerable for the American people, and the arrest of hundreds of pro-Palestinian students in these universities has shocked and angered the American society, and they are especially angry with the pro-Zionist lobbies in the United States.

This huge student movement in America started and continues while voices inside the Congress are also raised against the crimes of the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip and the support of the American government for these crimes. For example, “Bernie Sanders”, the progressive senator of the Democratic Party, in a tweet addressed to Netanyahu, who accused American students of anti-Semitism, said: “No, Mr. Netanyahu, this is not anti-Semitism, in more than six months, your extreme cabinet has killed 34,000 Palestinians.” General and injured more than 77 thousand people and 70% of these victims are women and children of Gaza.

A few years ago, “Walter Russell Mead”, a researcher at the American Council on Foreign Relations and a writer for the Wall Street Journal, during his speech at a forum on American politics and Theology held in Boston said that American Protestant support for Jews existed before Jews set foot in the fledgling state of America and before the establishment of Israel, so it was not surprising that the United States was the first country to immediately recognize Israel in 1948.

He said that the first religious Protestant Americans believed that Jews were the chosen people, and according to data from the Congressional Research Service, the United States has supported Israel over the past three-quarters of a century, giving about $260 billion in military and economic aid to Israel. It has presented.

But all recent evidence shows that these relations are faltering in the shadow of the changing American public opinion.

How the American student uprising will affect the future of relations with Israel

“Trita Parsi”, Vice President of the Quincy Institute in Washington, in response to the huge student movement in America Against the Zionist regime, by publishing a tweet with attached pictures of this student movement at Harvard University, he explained about the current developments in American universities and said that the short-sightedness of the Israeli cabinet is very strange. These images show that a large part of a new generation of Americans who are future elites will see Israel as an apartheid and barbaric regime that threatens American democracy.

On the other hand, according to polls By the Harvard Institute of Politics between March 14 and 21, among 2,010 young Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 who took part in this poll, 51 percent of them strongly want a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, and only 10 percent oppose a cease-fire. They are.

Israel’s brutal invasion of the Gaza Strip introduced the concept of dirty and ugly war to the new generation of Americans who were born in the late 1990s, and the position of this generation of Americans towards the aggression of the occupying regime in Gaza and the level of support and sympathy They with the Palestinian people were a big shock for the previous generations of America who had a different mindset about the values ​​of justice and equality. Before this slogans like “Israel is right”, “anti-Semitism is forbidden” and… The American arena was dominated, but today we see that the American youth consider Israel to be an apartheid, racist and barbaric regime. Accordingly, the supporters of Israel in America are very afraid of what is happening today in the universities of this country, especially that the number of American Jews continues to decrease compared to the number of Arab and Muslim Americans who make up the new generation of this country. Based on this, observers believe that we should expect a new highly critical discourse against the American government and Israel in the United States, which will be led by the new American generation, and will greatly affect the future of the United States’ relations with the Zionist regime.
