Princeton University students set up 'Popular university of Gaza'

Middle East Eye's senior reporter Azad Essa visited Princeton University in New Jersey to report on the student response after administrators dismantled a fledgling encampment early Thursday morning. Hours later, hundreds of students occupied a central courtyard at Princeton, pledging to stay until the university divests from companies profiting from the Israeli occupation of Palestinians.

Ironically, many of the college administrators today were protesting the Vietnam War in the 60s. From protestors themselves, they've morphed into the fascists of 2024.

The young educated minds of our nation have chosen to fight for human rights, and freedom of speech. Our centers of higher education have continued to fight against exactly their own foundations...FREEDOM and to STAND AGAINST INJUSTICE. As a parent I'm proud of these students, but pray for their safety and the SUCCESS OF THEIR CAUSE! LOVE YOU ALL BE SAFE AND STAY STRONG, AND BE PEACEFUL, DO NOT LET ANYONE LOWER YOUR STANDARDS TO THEIR LEVEL, STAY CLASSY! FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸, CEASEFIRE NOW!

What exactly should the universities do? Half of these students cried and tried to shut down the free speech of anyone representing slightly to the right of their political views. I get it, they're "raising awareness".... Most people are aware, what now? They want somebody else to do the heavy lifting.
