Thousands of U.S. Students Arrested While Israel Invades Rafah

Thousands of U.S. Students Arrested While Israel Invades Rafah

In a massive, nationally coordinated crackdown, the United States has arrested nearly 3,000 U.S. students in the last week. Many have been beaten, pepper sprayed, and tear gassed; expelled from their housing; and many will be expelled from their university altogether. Using U.S. bombs and missiles, the Israeli military has launched a devastating assault on people in Rafah—where more than one million Palestinians took refuge from previous Israeli bombing.

Brian Becker is joined by Layan Sima Fuleihan, a Palestinian organizer with the Shut It Down for Palestine coalition, a popular educator, organizer, the Education Director at The People’s Forum, and an editor at 1804 Books, and Manolo De Los Santos, researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and founder and executive director of The People’s Forum in New York.
