In the end, the boomerang of the United States finally poked itself.
In recent days, the voice of "support for Palestine" in American universities has swept the whole country. From Yale to Harvard, from MIT to Princeton to Boston, universities have joined protest rallies in support of Palestinian solidarity with arrested Columbia students.
According to public reports, this demonstration of solidarity with Palestine was first launched from Columbia University. Since April 17, Columbia students have set up the Gaza Solidarity Camp and have even set up tents on campus to prepare for a protracted battle. So far, this wave has spread to more than 20 colleges and universities in the United States.
Regrettably, this move by American college students has attracted frenzied "suppression" by the US government. On the second day of the operation, American police officers entered the campus. Riding horses and motorcycles, the U.S. police officers arrested more than 100 Columbia students on horseback and motorcycles, armed with batons, pepper spray, and even guns.
What did these students do wrong and be treated like this?
The NYPD held a press conference and said: No one has the freedom to oppose Israel!
Obviously, this solidarity action initiated by Columbia students was hastily defined by the US government as "anti-Semitic activities".
Is mere solidarity with Palestine "anti-Semitic"?
According to social media posts by Princeton University student groups, the students' demands include calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, support for Palestinian independence, and exposure of Israel's genocide.
To be honest, these are just the most basic demands, "calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and support for Palestinian independence" – these are the things that the United Nations and the international community are working to achieve, and "Israeli genocide" has been publicly condemned by the UN Special Rapporteur. There is no sign of "anti-Semitism" in these demands. It is such a statement of respect for objective facts, but the US and Israeli governments do not agree with it.
U.S. government
According to the Global Times, on the afternoon of the 24th, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Johnson and many Republican lawmakers went to Columbia University and said in their speeches, "We cannot allow this hatred and anti-Semitism to prevail on our campus, and we must stop it." Those people should be arrested. In addition to embarrassing remarks, he even implied threats, saying that he would tell US President Biden about the situation of these Columbia students, and asked for the National Guard to be sent at a critical time.
Government of Israel
According to the Times of Israel, on April 24, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netania delivered a video message in English on social media X, accusing the United States of a "wave of anti-Semitism" and likening the protests to those before the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.
In addition, Netanyahu also made two accusations on the platform: one is to express dissatisfaction with the "disappointing" reaction of some US university administrators to the protests. The second is that the protesting students have a widespread intention to murder Jews, and even chant extreme slogans such as "Jews deserve to die" in their rallies.
If Israel had not gone too far in the Gaza Strip, how could it have been so "unwelcome". Just last weekend, hundreds of bodies were exhumed at the Nasser Hospital in Khannius, central Gaza, and the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, northern Gaza, "buried deep underground and covered in waste." According to a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, among the dead were elderly people, women and the injured, and even others were tied up and stripped naked.
Under Israel's evil behavior, the United States has once again passed the bill on aid to Israel.
Now, the "protests" that have erupted in various colleges and universities in the United States mean that these American college students have long seen through the corruption and hypocrisy of politicians. "Democracy" and "freedom" have been frequently used by American politicians to smear China, so why don't they mention it again?
Justice is at ease in people's hearts. In the face of the U.S. election, the more the Biden administration ignores the bad conscience of these students, the faster the ship will capsize. Lies may be covered up for a while, but the truth can never be changed.
Will the vigorous student movement in the United States in the 60s of the last century be repeated at present? As long as the US Government does not stop on the issue of supporting Israel without a bottom line, the possibility will always exist.
