- Authors
NADER, RALPH
- Abstract
The article discusses student protests on college campuses against the Biden Administration's support of Israeli actions in Gaza. It highlights the role of faculty members in defending the students and criticizes university presidents for calling in outside police to crack down on the protests. The article suggests that students should shift their focus to members of Congress during the summer, particularly the hundreds of Congressional summer interns who will be arriving to work in Congressional offices. It emphasizes the importance of face-to-face meetings with lawmakers and calls for public meetings and hearings to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and U.S. foreign and military policies. The article also mentions the potential for alliances with various advocacy groups and the need for larger reforms in society.
