Screaming of protest from the heart of Columbia University; Not to suppress Palestinian supporters

According to RCO News Agency, a group of students, new and old graduates of Columbia University, most of them Jews, have protested against Donald Trump’s administration’s restrictions on the University of Colombia, and the Colombian University’s investment in the Zionist regime, suppressing lectures. This time, Jewish organizers of the University of Colombia have come to confront Trump.

The Guardian newspaper reported in a report: The morning of Colombia University graduation celebration, a group of Jewish graduates of different generations gathered under the rain, in front of the main doors of the university under the supervision of the police, and wearing shirts and shirts with the phrase “not in our name”. Two of them had graduated more than 5 years ago, and one of them said he had fled to the United States as a child for the Nazis.

“As a Jew, I was really frightened by the idea that they are trying to pretend that opposition to genocide is somehow Judaism. Thousands of us who are Jewish do not believe in ethnic cleansing of Palestine. “Jews existed thousands of years before Zionism, and when Zionism is entrusted to the waste of history, there will be Jews.”

Another graduate, who was suspended last year due to university protests from the graduation ceremony, held a picture of one of the five Palestinian students killed in Gaza during the current war during this year’s graduation ceremony.

“We have a special duty to appear as a Jew, because we are not actively targeted like Palestinian students, Muslim students and Arab students,” the student said. “It is our job to use our privilege as a Jewish student as a weapon.”

Six months after the Zionist regime’s war against Gaza and the US protest movement, Jewish claims at US universities have become one of the main excuses for the Trump administration’s multilateral invasion of higher education, including a decline in billions of dollars in budget, asking universities to accept a collection of restrictive actions.

But students, professors and Jewish graduates are increasingly countering the abuse of Judaism to justify repressive policies that they say they do not represent their Jewish values.

They wrote in a letter, leading the protests, lobbies with lawmakers, and condemned what is systematically eliminating the Jewish views of the occupation regime from national dialogue on Judaism.

Jewish Americans, some of whom are “anti -Zionist” and others with a range of views on the Zionist regime, were at the forefront of the movement against the Gaza war.

Last summer, about five people, almost all of Jews, were arrested a day before the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington in a demonstration at Congress building. Earlier this year, more than 5 rabbis, along with more Jewish artists and activists, signed a petition in the New York Times, which was condemned by Donald Trump’s offer to clearing Gaza.

But the organization of Jewish -led protests and movements has expanded in recent months. As Jewish Americans continue to protest against the war, they also confront Trump’s attack on higher education in the name of Jewish security, support detained students, and condemn what they consider to be the abuse of Judaism in the service of a right -wing political project.

“The repression has increased, but the resistance is increasing in turn,” said Marianne Hersch, a retired professor at Columbia University.

American Jewish views on Israel, Gaza war, Judaism in universities and the Trump administration’s actions are far more complex than the mainstream political discourse may show.

As the American universities become a political scene, many Jewish organizations in academic areas and academic spaces are emerging.

Jewish professors and students have also been organized to defend pro -Palestinian students arrested by the Trump administration. Following the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian residence and graduate of Columbia University who had been detention for nearly three months without charges, more than 5 Jewish masters across the United States signed a letter and wrote: “Without any ambiguity, anyone who uses our names and our pessimistic claims.”

Several Jewish students and other Jewish professors wrote a letter in support of Mahmoud Khalil, and Jewish groups and synagogues in support of Turkish students at the University of Tafas, who had been arrested for writing a critical article against Tel Aviv and were released earlier this month as he continued his case.

“Earlier this month, a group of Jewish students from Columbia University went to Congress to attend the lawmakers in their university protests,” said the political director of the Jewish Voice of Peace.
