"It is increasingly going to take the batons of police to enforce this consensus of US support for #Israel, which itself has a limited ceiling [..] Many of these students have crossed the fear barrier" - #YousefMunayyer
"#AntiwarProtests sweep across university campuses in the United States. The police response – the violence – has been shocking and so has some of the reporting from the US #MainstreamMedia."

after 100s of pro-Israel demonstrators attacked the UCLA Gaza Solidarity camp on Tues.
"Police did not immediately break up the clashes at the camp, which continued despite the law enforcement presence."

“It gives people impunity to come to our campus as a rampaging mob. The word is out they can do this repeatedly & get away with it. I am ashamed of my university.”
"Across the US, pro-Palestine students have faced repression, suspension, and arrest. We asked more than a dozen students to share how their schools have restricted the right to protest."
The Gaza Solidarity encampments have spread to the Auraria Campus in Denver. We brought water and food to the protesters. Rain clouds were forming when we left, but folks had a resolved spirit about them.
