The growing wave of campus protests
Manage episode 415208853 series 2455762
On April 17th, pro-Palestinian protesters set up an encampment on the lawn of Columbia University in New York, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, and for their administration to divest from ties to Israel. The next day, their university’s president called on the NYPD to clear the encampment. They arrested more than 100 students. That event caused an eruption of solidarity encampments, protests, and faculty walk-outs at colleges and universities across the U.S.
Now, the encampments and solidarity protests have spread even further — including at McGill University in Montreal, and universities in Europe and Australia.
Today, we’re going to talk about why students in multiple countries feel compelled to face arrest or suspension for this movement — and why others feel the protests are creating a dangerous climate that is fueling antisemitism.
Our guest is Arielle Angel, editor-in-chief of the magazine Jewish Currents.
