Imagine Palestinian Gazans thanking university students protesters but same Palestinian Gazans were celebrating and watching videos of Oct 7th assault and killings of civilians and don't forget same Palestinian Gazans celebrated for days during world trade center terrorist attack that killed almost 3000 Americans. 

Who's fooling who? Israel can kill more because 40,000 isn't enough. All Arabs and moslem countries don't need Palestinians as refugees because they are like cancer. 

Lebanon was a so good with vibrant economy until Palestinians came as refugees then Iranian mentors created Hell-bolah group...Lebanon is now a begger and no hope of improvement.

Gatherings of people across north and central Gaza on Wednesday expressed gratitude to students on US college campuses who have been protesting the war in Gaza.

In Deir al-Balah, in front of Al Aqsa Martyrs hospital, doctors, nurses, and medical staff held signs with messages that included “United against genocide,” “The killing of children must stop,” and “Teep on fighting for justice.”

Dr. Saad Abu Sharban told CNN he was “over the moon” at images of protesters in other countries, because it meant “that around the world there are human beings who know what is happening here in Gaza Strip right now.”

Palestinians in Gaza have been showing support for the US protesters for several days. In several refugee camps in the Palestinian enclave on Wednesday, children could also be seen holding signs and banners with the names of different American universities where pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been held, saying “thanks for your solidarity!”

Nadia Al-Dibs, a mother whose children were holding banners behind her in Deir al-Balah, told CNN she felt grateful to the “brave students” at American universities for their solidarity with Gaza and for calling for a ceasefire.

“Arab populations haven’t cared about us, while students at American universities have felt with us, have felt the blood that spills from us, our buildings that get struck and our kids whose lives get destroyed … a thousand thanks to them,” she said.

The public appreciation from people in Gaza come amid growing controversy in the US over the campus demonstrations, which have spread across the country in recent weeks amid mounting tensions over Israel’s war on Hamas, launched after the terror group’s October 7 attack that left more than 1,200 dead.

The protests in the US are broadly aimed at demanding an end to Israel’s devastating assault in the Palestinian enclave, which has killed more than 34,000 people, according to the Palestinian health ministry, and is nearing its eighth month.

But critics say some demonstrations have crossed the line into anti-semitism. Israel has claimed the protests are being manipulated by “outside agitators.”

Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan denounced the university demonstrations in a speech to the General Assembly in New York on Wednesday.

Erdan accused the demonstrations of being made up of “antisemitic protesters affiliated with outside agitators.” He said the students should face expulsion, while university professors and presidents should face “swift and severe action.”

The speech in the General Assembly followed a Security Council vote last month on a resolution that would have recognized a Palestinian state. That vote was vetoed by the US.

Erdan lashed out at his UN colleagues, accusing the General Assembly of spreading anti-Israel rhetoric which he claimed had helped galvanize the protesters. He yelled “shame” toward the countries seated in the hall.

Several colleges have recently hardened their stance by calling in law enforcement to clear their campuses – a crackdown hailed by former US President Donald Trump as “a beautiful thing to watch” at Columbia University in New York.

Meanwhile, Shiraz university in Iran’s Fars province has offered scholarships to students from universities in the US and Europe who are expelled over the protests.

What do pro-Palestinian student protesters at US universities want?

Dozens of college campuses across the US have been taken over by students protesting against the war in Gaza.

More than a thousand demonstrators have been arrested, including more than 100 on Tuesday night at Columbia University in New York City.

Many universities are struggling to deal with encampments on college grounds, just days before graduation ceremonies.

Why are students protesting over the war in Gaza?

Since the 7 October attack by Hamas and Israel's retaliatory assault, students have launched rallies, sit-ins, hunger strikes and, most recently, encampments against the war.

They are demanding that their schools, many with massive endowments, financially divest from Israel.

Divestment means to sell off stock in Israeli companies, or to otherwise drop financial ties.

Student activists say that companies doing business in Israel, or with Israeli organisations, are complicit in its ongoing war in Gaza - as are colleges investing in those companies.

University endowments fund everything from research labs to scholarship funds, mostly using returns from millions - and billions - of dollars in investments.

What happened at Columbia University?

During a police police raid on Tuesday night, officers cleared the encampment and removed protesters from an academic building they had taken over.

Officers in riot gear climbed ladders to enter the second storey of Hamilton Hall, before taking occupants away in police buses.

Some 119 people were arrested at Columbia Tuesday night, John Chell, chief of patrol for the NYPD, said Wednesday. Chell said it remains unclear how many of those individuals were students and how many were "outside agitators".

It began earlier this month. As Columbia president Minouche Shafik testified before Congress about antisemitism on campus, hundreds of students pitched tents on the Upper Manhattan campus.

Mass arrests the following day failed to prevent the protests from continuing and they sparked action at more colleges across the US. In-person classes at Columbia were cancelled.

Talks to resolve the dispute broke down and when the occupation spread to a university building, the police were called in again.

The university said the hall had been vandalised and blockaded and the police would remain until mid-May to prevent further encampments.

Where else are students protesting?

The escalating crisis at Columbia inspired similar protests and encampments across the country, including:

• Northeast region: George Washington; Brown; Yale; Harvard; Emerson; NYU; Georgetown; American; University of Maryland; Johns Hopkins; Tufts; Cornell; University of Pennsylvania; Princeton; Temple; Northeastern; MIT; The New School; University of Rochester; University of Pittsburgh

• West Coast: California State Polytechnic, Humboldt; University of Southern California; University of California, Los Angeles; University of California, Berkeley; University of Washington

• Midwest region: University of Wisconsin; Northwestern; Washington University in St Louis; Indiana University; University of Michigan; Ohio State; University of Minnesota; Miami University; University of Ohio; Columbia College Chicago; University of Chicago

• The South: Tulane; Emory; Vanderbilt; University of North Carolina, Charlotte; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Kennesaw State; Florida State; Virginia Tech; University of Georgia, Athens

• Southwest: University of Texas at Austin; Rice; Arizona State

Pro-Palestinian protesters have also gathered over the past week on university campuses in Australia, Canada, France, Italy and the UK.

How have universities handled the protests?

Some are negotiating with student activists while others are issuing ultimatums that have led to police being called in.

The latest round of arrests on Wednesday were made in Wisconsin at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where some 10 people were arrested and in New Orleans, Louisiana, where 14 people were arrested.

But an agreement was reached between Northwestern University and protesters which limits the size of the encampment.

National politicians have called on colleges to do more, highlighting reports of antisemitism at some of these protests.

Jewish students at several campuses have told the BBC about incidents that made them feel uncomfortable or fearful.

These ranged from chants and signs supporting Hamas, a proscribed terror group, to physical altercations and perceived threats.

Has protesting worked?

Pro-Palestinian campus groups have for years called on their institutions to support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, as a means of pushing back against Israel.

No US university has ever committed to the BDS framework, although some have cut specific financial ties in the past.

While divestment would have a negligible impact, if any, on the war in Gaza, protesters say it would shed light on those who profit from war and help build awareness of their issue.

Why are students recalling protests over Vietnam war?

Activists at Columbia and elsewhere have highlighted the protests at the end of the 1960s against US involvement in the Vietnam War.

Thousands were arrested and there were violent clashes with police.

Four students in Ohio were killed in 1970 when the National Guard opened fire.

Their deaths triggered a nationwide student strike and hundreds of universities closed.
