The American student movement in support of Palestine is gaining momentum. Friday April 26, several campuses are affected in the United States.
In the United States, the movement in support of Gaza gained momentum on Friday, April 26, on a large part of American campuses. “I think that by demonstrating peacefully here, we show that a large number of people are interested in this issue and that we are not going to let it pass”, estimates a student. Another states: “We have Jews fighting with us for this cause. We are not protesting the Jewish people, we are protesting the illegal occupation of Palestine.”
A mini-village in Los Angeles
In Los Angeles (United States), around 200 students set up a mini-village made of tents and barricades. They demand an end to the fighting in the Palestinian enclave. The movement started from Columbia University, in New York (United States). In Atlanta (United States), the police intervened forcefully to evacuate the demonstrators.
