Student protests expand: How the war in Gaza is becoming a domestic issue in the US | DW News

In the United States, protests against Israel's war in Gaza have spread to university campuses across the country, reigniting a long-standing debate over how to balance public safety and free speech.
The protests are just the latest example of how the war in Gaza is inflaming public opinion in countries around the world.
In the US, those divisions are being watched especially closely in this election year. Some pundits are even saying that President Joe Biden's position, which is unpopular among many Democratic voters, could cost him the election.

End of killing ? As if that will ever happen

[@kathrinbauer5358]

​@@tigerrrtrainerSo how many Palestinians can be sacrificed to protect Israel? Many of them are too young to have any influence on what Hamas does or does not. On the other hand, Israel has an incredibly powerful army and that there was a failure by the army and security services that made 10/7 possible is evident. That does by no means take away responsibility from Hamas. But I think that Israel has other options to protect its people that does not involve killing innocent civilians which BTW only creates future generations of people that want to kill Israelis. Israel does have a right to defend itself, but self-defence should always try to avoid unnecessary harm and violence. Given that Israel is powerful, self-defence does not make continuing the war a necessity.

Arrests in these protests are mostly theater. When protesters are trespassing, the police give lots of warning so that the people who don't want to be arrested have plenty of time to leave. So, the ones who are arrested are the ones who want to be arrested, probably just to be seen on video being "oppressed." The actual penalty is a very small fine, if even that.

It's unfair to cast the younger generation as insensitive to ww2 era history, while they are informing themselves about the totality of history around middle Eastern history.

[@supernova7848]

They are acting as if they don’t remember Viet nam wa r protests , l raq wa r protests in the 60s in the early 2000s the kids have protested in each generation, yet ppl are acting all shocked that there are kids protesting

[@abubakarsadisumuktar932]

Seeing mass protests by the students from most coveted schools in US in support of Palestine and against genocide of Israel and US make me hopeful about humanity and make me have faith in humanity in future. This is the strongest support Palestine ever had since the start of this excruciating genocidal war of Israel and US led camp

[@rejipaul2185]

What kind of right to free speech is being exercised by these young people ? Most of them are hiding both their face and head. Don’t we have a right to see their face also, to know who is speaking and what they are speaking ? Is this free speech or biased speech ?

[@ansgarm.cordie9659]

Most of them? Did you see the Pessach Seder celebrations within the protest camps?

Stop Genocide in GAZA 😢😢😢

[@Matthew_Loutner]

Stop crying. There is NO "genocide" in Gaza.

[@songnianzhang366]

so, there is genocide in xinjiang CHINA as per USA?

[@songnianzhang366]

there is genocide in xinjiang china asper USA?

[@joexavier4070]

​@@Matthew_Loutnerhow so? They found mass grave in gaza hospital

[@Matthew_Loutner]

@joexavier4070 The mass grave has not been investigated. We do not have any facts about that and we do not jump to prior conclusions. Mass graves are not genocide anyway. Go look up genocide.

[@rananjaysingh8010]

Palestinians should move beyond organizing and financing protests in western countries and univs. They should build governance institutions and adopt a constitution. They should work hard, sweat with discipline and diligence. Nobody else will. Soon protesters will find some other cause.

[@tradeprosper5002]

If anyone is financing protests in the USA, it is Israel. Ever hear of AIPAC or ADL?

[@emmaemma2323]

How can you build anything in a country when everything you build gets bombed and you aren't allowed to transport building materials in because of a blockade, and when boats try to bring aid in they get boarded, in an act of piracy according to International Law, by the Israeli Military, and everyone on board secreted away to blacksites in Israel. How? Israel will not allow the conditions for good and stable governance to exist within Occupied Palestinian Territory. They are not even allowed to have an airport. There is no free coming and going. Everything has to be approved by Israel. Since the Palestinians aren't allowed sovereignty, that means Israel is directly responsible for the situation on the ground there, and by extension, for any consequences thereof. I don't condone violence against civilians, and my heart breaks for all suffering, but exactly for that reason, do we not have to sympathize with Palestinians? What would you do in their place? If all your "hard work, sweat, discipline, and diligence" was not allowed to pay off because you were living under a violent occupation. I am pretty sure you would fight back. And call the fighting back by whatever means you had at your disposal self-defense. And when you got genocide-level-attacked in retalliation and the world called that self-defence and called you a terrorist, I bet you'd have a different opinion on this topic...

Imagine being at one of these schools because you just wanna get a degree then you have to do remote schooling because of protests lol. Dude that would suck

[@ansgarm.cordie9659]

The remote schooling is not because of the protests.

Oh gawd , most people can't define fascism . Can you ? 😂

[@Matthew_Loutner]

What it "looks like" has nothing to do with reality.

​@Matthew_Loutner thanks Morpheus.

[@offloc1141]

​​@freedombro6502 a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. The definition is on the internet. Any other questions?

Can they add the release of the hostages in the protest to balance the equation?

Why is it that the young ones in US doesnt know the tie between Israel and US ....when they call for a disengagement btw these two....its laughable ...non of them can survive long without eachother The only thing we can say to Israel is..... don't prolong the war....do what you wanna do quickly....its annoying to prolong the war....
