We asked Jewish students at US universities what they think about pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Our panel respondsI was in California for Passover when the encampment first came up. I was excited because I want to see an end to what Human Rights Watch calls a system of apartheid, which refers to the fact that there are over 65 laws discriminating against Palestinian citizens of Israel, roads in the West Bank are segregated, Israelis have civil law while Palestinians have military law, water...

A majority of Americans at the time, 57%, believed that the sit-ins would “hurt” the movement. They were wrong. Today, we credit the Civil Rights Movement with ending racial segregation in the United...
The ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at American universities are more than just youthful expressions of speech freedom.
