Despite Mass Arrests and Brutality, Campus Protests in US Persist

By Staff, Agencies

Pro-Palestine encampments at universities across the United States continue to redefine what was long considered an ardently pro-Zionist country.

With social media and alternative media outlets giving the nation's youth unprecedented honesty regarding the apartheid “Israeli” entity’s war crimes and its non-legitimacy, a new poll finds that 65% of current American college students support the protests, half of whom say they sympathize with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

The shift in public sentiment has not been accepted by the universities and political elite. The United States is enduring its worst student repression in over 50 years.

Pro-Palestine supporters have erected camps or staged sit-ins at over 100 college campuses across some 40 states.

Authorities have responded by making nearly 3,000 arrests, using tear gas, police brutality, and even firing rubber bullets at peaceful student demonstrators.

Many say the massively expensive and elitist system of higher learning in the United States has been exposed as lowbrow, intolerant, and riddled with hypocrisy.

At the last University encampment standing in Chicago, protesters are humbly proud of what a historic change they have helped create.

They can only hope that college administrators will not resort to police violence, expulsions or attempts to ruin the personal futures of protesters.

Many universities have refused to seriously talk with the protesters whose main demands are an end to military aid to Tel Aviv, divestment from the apartheid “Israeli” entity and an immediate ceasefire in the entity’s latest attempt at ethnic cleansing and genocide.
