The level of repression against student mobilizations in support of Palestine is rising, now widespread in many universities in the United States. This morning the police made a brief raid on the campus of‘Ucla, the Los Angeles Athenaeumwhich remains surrounded by a thousand policemen. Last night the police ordered the students to leave the camp, otherwise they would be arrested. Some did, but hundreds remained inside, wearing helmets, masks and goggles. Fifteen people were injured in a clash between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli students. In Arizona the police shot rubber bullets against students who demonstrated at the University of Arizona. According to the president of the university, Robert Robbins, the officers “to disperse the crowd… had no choice but to take significant measures” in the face of the “dangerous actions”.

Nineteen other people were arrested atUniversity of Texas, in Dallas, after law enforcement cleared out an encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters. Arrests also at Tulane University a New Orleans, Fordham University (New York). Since the beginning of the protests, which involve dozens of American universities, over 1,300 protesters were stopped by the police. An agreement reached Wednesday by officials of the Northwestern University and pro-Palestinian demonstrators put an end to a protest camp on campus and aroused criticism from members of the Jewish community, although many Jewish students took part in the demonstrations in contrast with the line of Netanyahu government.
In France, where protests took place in several universities., including Sorbona e Sciences Po of Paris, the French Minister of Higher Education, Sylvie Retailleau, today asked university presidents to monitor the “maintenance of public order” in their faculties, using “all powers” at their disposal in the context of student mobilizations for Gaza. “I ask you to use all the powers granted by the Education Code,” said the minister. The Human Rights Watch association reminds us that peaceful protests are a fundamental right, as is freedom of speech and expression.
