900 people have been arrested since the beginning of the student uprising in America

According to the international group Tasnim News, while there are no signs of abating in the intensity of protests in universities across the United States regarding the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the innocent people of Gaza, the Washington Post reported in a report based on According to the statistics of this American newspaper, at least 900 people have been arrested by the security forces in the past 10 days during protests at American universities.

Also, Palestinian supporters reportedly clashed with supporters of the Israeli regime at UCLA.

According to this report, this university has seen protesters’ tents set up in its outer area since last week. Since then, the protests have been peaceful, but eventually a conflict between the two sides took place.

The vice president of UCLA said: “Peaceful protests changed when some protesters attempted to break the barriers that the university had set up to separate the two groups.

Based on this, the fans of the two groups clashed with each other and chanted slogans against each other and even in some cases They fought. Finally, the university police used batons to separate the protesters.

Protesters were not involved and no one was arrested in this regard.

Meanwhile, the university authorities announced in their initial statement that the conflict between the protesters on the university campus was started by people outside the university. While the university authorities had allowed the supporters of both sides to express their views.

Meanwhile, the American media reported that more than 600 people during the protests in support of Palestine at least 15 universities across America were arrested.

The American Civil Liberties Union in the state of Georgia said in a statement in response to the suppression of protesting students: “Atlanta has always been a place for free protests was, but now we are witnessing repression against the constitution”.

Meanwhile, Avrat Reitan, a member of the Knesset from the Labor Party of the Zionist regime, wrote in a note in response to the massive student demonstrations. American universities against the policies of the Zionist regime published, admitted that Israel has lost the support of not only students but also American youth.

In the continuation of this note, the author admits, What started with a Palestinian support camp inside Columbia University, and the New York police arrested dozens of them, has spread quickly and without any control to many other universities in the United States and even abroad, a vague wave of slogans Like blow up Tel Aviv and Israel, or the Qassam battalions, we are proud of you. It has spread all over these universities and exploded the Israeli bubble for American students.

then Israel has lost universities, the author admits, in the context of a long-term operation of social and political struggles in American society, while pro-Israel concepts were largely ingrained in US youth culture. Today, it has reached a turning point and it has reached the point of denying the right of the Israeli government to continue the existence and connection of the Jews with the land of Israel.

Meanwhile, the American Foreign Policy magazine In a note written by Columbia University professor Howard W. French, he announced that the demonstrations in American universities present a set of demands that begin with stopping the genocide in Gaza, but the goal is not only that, but the protesters demand the withdrawal of investments from Israel and the disconnection between The institutions are American and Israeli.

The author of this article stressed that what is happening today in the universities of 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 the result of Israel’s terrible and wanton violence against the Palestinian people since October 7, 2023. .

In the continuation of this note, it is stated that the students at Columbia University and other universities are teaching democracy and citizenship to the American society and the whole world with their peaceful protests. 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 to cut off the connection of American scientific and educational institutions with Israeli institutions.

What is clear is that anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attitudes are creeping into US politics, and especially in an election year, candidates cannot ignore the votes of these potential voters. .

So far, more than 34,000 people, most of whom are women and children, have lost their lives due to the aggression of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip.
