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.

These students are more sensible than the so-called world leaders on the planet. You guys will always be remembered for raising your voices against genocide in Gaza. Love from Bangladesh

[@sufialovestoread8737]

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!

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.
