- Abstract
College campuses and universities across the United States have been organizing large peace activities and anti-war protests, with a focus on Palestinian liberation. Over 100 schools have participated and issued their own sets of demands. Critics of these protests have labeled them as antisemitic, using tactics such as counter-protesting, calling the police, distorting messages, using flimsy polling data, and utilizing the mainstream press. These critics aim to undermine student resistance and maintain the status quo. However, the student activists have been effective in their efforts to extend their education beyond the classroom and question authority and abuses of power.
