Students Across the Country Protest Against Aid for Israeli Amid War in Gaza | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

With the threat of being suspended from college, or even arrested, students around the country have dug their stakes into the ground camping on university property and protesting around the clock. Opposing the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, many of these pro-Palestinian student protestors are demanding their universities cut financial ties with Israel, or companies that are advancing the Israeli military effort. On many college campuses across America, protests have popped up over the last 5 months. Many of them began after the arrests of pro-Palestinian demonstrators in mid-April at Columbia University in New York. Since then, police have arrested more than 2,000 protestors nationwide. Around the country, college officials have implored student protestors to clear out with rising levels of urgency, and some universities moved to shut down encampments after reports of antisemitic activity among the demonstrators. Even members of Congress weighed in. Correspondent, Mark Irons reports. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
