Student protests against the Israeli war in Gaza swept the country last year, Columbia University in New York became a flashpoint.
He saw one of the university First Student Camps In the country, companies have been erected to end the investments in human rights. As soon as the tents began to create, the campus also witnessed some of the first mass arrests of student protesters in the Palestinian Solidarity.
The image made a focal point for the efforts of the Colombian President Donald Trump’s efforts to collapse in the work called “illegal protests” and campus.
At the beginning of this year, Colombian student Mahmoud Khalil Trump was the first student activist held by the management and targeted for deportation.
On Tuesday, the delegation of Jewish students came to Congress to prevent Khalil and others in their names. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate met with at least 17 democratic legislators.
Al Jazeera, Peace (JVP), a Jewish organization (JVP) organized by the Jewish voice of the Lobbying Day, spoke of several students. Some of them:
Tali beckwith-cohen
New York, the historic Great Tali Beckwith-Cohen, said that Zionism was growing in a society where the norm. “Myths” about Palestine “Myths” as “myths” “a landless people”: a slogan used to substantiate Israel.
However, as Beckwith-Cohen beliefs were protested, as he became the history of Palestine and became the Palestinian history.
Finally, after the war in Gaza, in October 2023, was involved in the activity of the Palestinian rights.
Human rights groups and the United Nations experts found evidence that Israel’s tactics in Gaza matched the genocide. To date, more than 52,615 Palestinians were killed in the conflict.
“I had such a feeling for a long time, the sense of wrestling, maybe how can I calculate these values I have caught the feeling of cognitive dissonances and these values with Zionism?” Beckwith-Cohen Al Jazeera said.
“We see our bombal, human life and children, For hospitalsfor schools. Forced me to choose. “
He stressed that the protests were the places of solidarity that the security of the students of all the backgrounds thought about each other.
“There are many things in the media narrative about what happened on the Columbia campus, and only what we live is so suitable,” he said.
“So today we are here to explain our congress, the explanatory authoritarian, fascist that we have seen on campus is demolished to demolish only students.”
Carly Shaffer
Carly Shaffer, in WhatsApp, when Israel’s concerns about Israel’s escalation in Gaza, some friends asked her Judaism.
Hundreds of people in the reach, the activist arrested for the deportation of Khalil – was the only person who had direct contact to reject the comments he was exposed.
As familiar with Khalili, it came to see him as the “embodiment” that serves the safety of all students in the town.
Shaffer Al Jazeera’s “patient” and “terrified” said In Khalil was arrested. Then his anxiety was complicated when I saw Trump White House note Save social media with the phrase “Shalom, Mahmud” – a Jewish greeting is sold as a launt.
Shaffer, a master’s degree in human rights and social policy, grew in California and grew up by a mother in a low-income house.
He said he speaks to injustice – in Palestine – a radical experience in his Jewish faith.
“The movement of Colombia is the movement of this love. He is the action of solidarity,” said Shaffer. “And Jewish students are also integral and important to this movement.”
He said that the Jewish student protesters took religious events on campus, joined their peers, butter and asked traditions.
“These are the same students described as an anti-Semitian, who learned about the Easter and learning a Jewish holiday with Jewish friends,” he said.
“Anti-Semitic weapons to arm” to the extent to “the issue has been used to close the negotiations The atrocities of Israel In Gaza.
“Jewish students are used as a pawn on the political agenda of the Trump.” “And the weapons of anti-Semitism to dismantle this movement are not only a threat to Jewish students. Therefore, it is so important to us directly to make this false narrative.”
Sarah Tube
Barnard College student, Sarah Borus, who was arrested during the raid on Columbia Encampment, said that “a very Zionist Society” grew up in an anti-Zionist family.
He felt that he was important to direct the practices of Jewish students directly in Washington and the people in the DC.
“We are talking about the members of the Congress that we are talking about to tell our stories outside the main news,” he said.
“Trump’s mission is not to protect Jewish students. This is to use the fears of anti-Semitism – because it is described in the ability of the Gaza Solidarity to target academic freedom – Free speechand really jeopardized many people. “
When he asked how he felt the potential retreat of his activities, the Borus admitted that the existing political climate is afraid.
“I’m afraid, but I am proud of the choices I do in the great scheme of things,” he said. “I would have no different and ready to take risks, if you need to do.”
Thing orentlicher
There are no regrets to take part in the Columbia University camp, despite the Orentlicher, administrative and political ugly.
Orentlicher said Christian nationalists Palestinian supporters try to delete the perspective of Jewish students and determine in accordance with the political goals of Judaism.
However, to protest the killing of the Palestinians, Orentlicher and the expression of both Jewish and humanist values. And Orentlicher believes that Colombia’s demonstrations help increase national scale awareness.
“Despite the damage, despite despite the lack of suffering and not enough to stand, we faced despite despair genocideFor the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, I think that we really changed the public speech, “said Orentlicher.
“And we also established a really nice society. I don’t regret what I ever had. I wouldn’t change anything.”
Racket
Rafie, who chooses to recognize on behalf of the name, said that “Very Zionist” grows. However, when the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, he felt he cheated.
“For example, the Jewish Primary School, I went to the Israeli map, had a map of Israel, and it was not like a Western coast or Gaza,” he said.
“When I see the actual map the occupied territoriesI was like “wait, lied”. And this way me is to explore what such Zionism is, which is the occupation and settlement colonization. “
Rafie, who studied RAFIA, Gaza war, campus protests and student protesters faced, said that the student protesters felt “correct responsibility”.
In his experience, the demonstrations were faced not an anti-Semite. What was anti-anti-Semity, he was the goal of the university’s Jewish student protesters for his political views.
Several students, including RahIe, Colombia, the students related to the Jewish voice refused to provide the necessary permission to celebrate the religion in government. They described as a form of discrimination.
The university did not meet the desire to comment as soon as El Jazeera was published.
Rafie also noticed the worldview of the world with a sense of concern over the worldview and the ideas that are really dangerous.
“New view points in college, new prospects are normal. It was more Palestinian and anti-Zionist,” he said. “When I met Anti-Zionist meetings, I first felt anxious, but then I grew up to understand them. This is normal.”
Rafie stressed the real punishment in Gaza.
“Students who are not safe right now are, of course Students in Gaza. Every university in Gaza was destroyed. They did not eat 60 days. “
