What student demonstrations indicate about US politics and support for Israel
The number of nationwide university rallies against Israel's attack on Gaza is increasing, and several school encampments are under increased surveillance. Hundreds of students at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) crowded a demonstration space to support Palestine. The university has not responded to the precise demands. However, it stated that it upholds the community's rights to free expression. Less disturbance to instruction and classes is another goal shared by administrators. To avoid traffic, there is more security surrounding the encampment. Large-scale counterprotests are anticipated in the area in the following days, even though protests have been mainly peaceful.
