Anti-war students at American universities are facing restriction over speaking out against Israel’s mass killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid the regime\u2019s ongoing brutal war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U.S. campuses adopted tough rules to restrict criticism of Israel\u2019s genocidal war on Gaza with the beginning of the first fall semester, after pro-Palestinian protests gained momentum throughout universities across the U.S. in the last academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This has caused widespread outrage on social media from students and supporters who perceive these recent moves as efforts to stifle the pro-Palestine student movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a post on X, the National Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) student group said that the Secure Community Network (SCN) has “held a roundtable with representatives from law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to generate a list of ten security recommendations for universities to quell pro-Palestine protests in the fall.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The New York University (NYU) People\u2019s Solidarity Coalition also said in a post on its Instagram account, \u201cIt is clear universities across the city are communicating, just as TNS (The New School) and NYU coordinated their sweeps of our encampments in May.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey are losing control of the narrative and have decided to crack down on our online presence in an attempt to smother us, rather than meet our demands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest development comes two days after Instagram banned the account of Columbia University\u2019s Students for Justice in Palestine, in yet another form of censorship by the US-based technology conglomerate Meta Platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blocking of the group\u2019s account was the latest in a battle on Columbia\u2019s campus, and on campuses across the United States, over free speech and Israel\u2019s genocidal war on Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The protesters, who demanded an end to the US-backed war which has so far killed 40,476 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 93,647 others, were met with brutal police violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
