Thousands of students protested against Israel in American universities, dozens were arrested

New York: Demonstrations against Israel intensified in American universities, thousands of students took to the streets in Brooklyn, New York, including Jewish students themselves.

The protesters demanded an end to the Israeli bombing of innocent Palestinians in Gaza. The US police cracked down on universities and arrested a large number of protesters, but this action only intensified the protest.

Yesterday, there was a large protest in Brooklyn Street, which the New York police stormed and arrested several students who blocked the streets and blocked the traffic.

The Reuters news agency says that the increasing protests in the United States show the deep dissatisfaction and anxiety of the citizens on the American policy regarding Israel in the Gaza war.

Pro-Palestinian protesters have been increasingly critical of President Joe Biden, who describes himself as a self-proclaimed “Zionist.”

Protests in universities have now moved beyond demonstrations to sit-in camps involving students and teachers from diverse backgrounds. In which not only Muslims but also Jews are participating. These dharnas also include teaching, worship and musical performances according to their religious beliefs.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has criticized the use of police force to suppress dissent, saying it undermines academic freedom.
