On the Nationwide Student Protests and the Ongoing Humanitarian Disaster in Gaza.
- Authors
SANDERS, BERNIE
- Abstract
This article, written by Bernie Sanders, discusses the student protests happening on college campuses across the United States and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Sanders emphasizes the importance of the First Amendment and the right to protest, drawing parallels to past protests against racism, sexism, and war. He condemns all forms of violence on campuses and calls for the condemnation and elimination of bigotry, including antisemitism and Islamophobia. Sanders criticizes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for equating criticism of his government's actions with antisemitism and highlights the destruction and suffering caused by the Israeli government's policies in Gaza. He argues that it is not antisemitic to hold Netanyahu and his government accountable for their actions and calls for a reevaluation of US support for Israel. Sanders urges the media and politicians to focus on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the suffering of its people.
