In April 2024, students throughout the United States were filled with demanding the end of their universities in Genocide In Gaza,

I books An article explains why I saw the emergence of these protests, especially those on the New York City campus at the University of Colombia, as a turning point in the global movement of Palestinian rights and liberation.

Now, almost a year later, the federal government is coordinating these protests strongly, and the courageous souls that played a leading role in it, to protect Israel from scrutinizing and concealing its uninterrupted collusion in genocide.

This month, the Trump government, where a newly formed multi -agent business squad is guided to combat anti -Semitism, Declare Abolishing approximately $ 400 million in the University of Colombia’s federal scholarships about what he considered “a failure to protect Jewish students from anti -Semitic harassment.”

Moreover, Trump’s Foreign Minister Marco Rubio promised to cancel “green visas and cards for Hamas supporters in America so that they can be deported” – “Moayad Hamas” in this context, of course just a word blogging for anyone who supports Palestinian rights and things to Israel’s repeated violations of international law.

Rubio’s statement was not an empty threat. Earlier this week, Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian graduate of the University of Colombia who played a prominent role in Gaza’s protests last year there, was arrested by the United States immigration and customs agents (ICE) in Manhattan’s apartment, in front of his American wife, who celebrates eight months. Although he holds a green card, he is now threatened with deportation. The Ministry of Internal Security (DHS) accused the former student of “pioneering activities that are in line with Hamas.” It is not clear whether he is facing any actual charges or accused of a crime that may include this treatment.

The information currently available about Mahmoud Khalil’s case indicates a dark fact: Washington is ready to deport one of the permanent legal residents in playing a prominent role in the protests that criticize and disturb Tel Aviv.

The current administration appears to be committed to satisfying Israel and crushing students’ objections to the genocide to the extent that it is ready and eager to seal the basic American rights, values ​​and freedoms.

But this unprecedented repression also indicates the success of these protests. Trump is ready to risk a lot to silence the cry of genetics coming from American universities because these protests-which were once rejected as a “noise” that is meaningful in universities separate from the broader society-succeeded in overthrowing a critical column from established Israel Public Relations The strategy in the West.

Students’ protests put the Palestinian struggle at the top of the national agenda, and encouraged many Americans who are usually unaware of events in the Middle East and obtained their news and comments strictly from sources supporting Israel, to pay attention to what is happening in Gaza.

When they began to pay attention, many have realized a democratic oasis in a region full of barbarians who are obsessed with the war where it prevented a long time, but the colonial focus, a state of apartheid, is currently preventing genocide for the residents of Asir.

As people turned into sources on the ground to understand what students needed on the American campus enthusiastically, the contrived image of Israel collapsed as an ethical force to “defend itself from terrorists.” This is not just a feeling. In Gallup reconnaissance It was published this month, which is the American support for Israel at its lowest level ever, and sympathy for the Palestinian ordeal was at its highest level. The continuous dropout of the American administration on student demonstrators is a testimony to its despair to save this dilapidated interface.

In its efforts to silence Israel’s criticism on the American campus, the US administration follows a good book. While taking her signals from Tel Aviv, it mixes the anti -Zionism with anti -Semitism, then claims that she must fight Zionism just as it works to clarify the anti -Semitism, in the name of public safety and “common values”.

This text program has gained a growing traction in Congress since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza. In December 2023, the Republican House of Representatives approved a procedure (House of Representatives Resolution 894) rejects “the sharp rise in anti -Semitism in the United States and around the world” and then proceeds to “the situation clearly and firmly” that “anti -Zionism is anti -Semitism.” Thus, he classifies any criticism of the State of Israel and its actions as an attack on the Jewish people.

The efforts made to mix anti -Semitism with anti -Zionism to silence the activity of the Palestinians and the imbalance of those who support Palestinian rights as hatred also gain in universities amid the Trump administration campaign.

In January this year, in the face of a lawsuit accused of not taking enough to prevent anti -Semitic harassment on its university campus, Harvard University agreed to adopt a wide definition of anti -Semitism to reach a colony. This definition – the product of the International Holocaust Anniversary Alliance (IHRA) Some cases of anti -Zionist or anti -Israeli criticism are considered anti -Semitism. It is expected to follow the example of many universities facing similar claims, or only afraid to attract the anger of the Trump administration and the loss of federal financing.

But none of them proves enough to prevent people in the West from recognizing the truth about Israel.

For many years, Israel has been able to sell itself to the American public as a small but proud democracy, and heroically calmed existential threats. But the massacre in Gaza forced the Americans – and the Western world – at the expense of the terrifying truth behind that story. The indiscriminate shelling of the Israeli army and the ground invasions has placed a waste of Gaza, removes families and converting schools and hospitals into ruins.

Away from a small location of the “civilization” in the “Berber” region, Israel is a US -backed force backed by nuclear weapons with one of the most advanced armies in the world, as it attacks the indigenous people to keep them imprisoned in a small corner of their land. It is used to a largely American arsenal regularly “GrassIn Gaza and the West Bank, the theft of more lands by expanding illegal SettlementsAnd preserving Gaza under the ground, air, and the siege.

As a collective genocide in Gaza, which has been revealed throughout the year and a half, the pictures of children who are broken are filled with schedules as demonstrators throughout the United States, especially on the university campus, the tragic facts of life in light of the Israeli -backed Israeli occupation under the spotlight. The remainder of the carefully coordinated image of Israel began to collapse.

Politicians who support the confusion of anti -Zionism with anti -Semitism claim that they do this to combat hatred. However, we see, over and over again, how these same forces remain silent when the Jewish activists are expelled from the protests or face the police violence for standing with the Palestinians. If their real interest is anti -Semitism, they will be equally committed to defending the rights and safety of the Jewish people who are in line with the Palestinian issue. Instead, they use just a whisper of “anti -Semitism” to distort the entire protest movements, all during the conversion Billions With the help of a foreign government systematically deprived the Palestinians of their humanity and dirt for more than seven decades.

The truth is that the activists of the students in Colombia – such as those in other universities that are endless – did not invite repression or organized some hatred. They stood for Palestinian human rights. They urged their organization to stop taking advantage of or ignore the mass killing of the Palestinians in Gaza. On the other hand, the federal government and their school punishing with Savage France, ensuring that an academic institution is not dared to repeat their protest without risking financial destruction.

But the efforts of the administration have clearly led to the opposite results. The wave of pro -Palestine activity that originated in Colombia was not amplified only through the campaign of management and raw photos of the humanitarian suffering flowing from Gaza.
