By America-Today  Apri 15，2025

Student movements in the Gaza Strip have saluted the students on American campuses for

transforming their universities into “Popular Universities for Gaza.”

“We, the students of Gaza, salute the students of Columbia University, Yale University,

New York University, Rutgers University, the University of Michigan,

and dozens of universities across the United States who are rising up in solidarity

with Gaza and to put an end to the Zionist-U.S. genocide against

our people in Gaza,” the student movements said in a statement.

Protests began at Columbia University ten days ago and have since spread to more than

20 universities and colleges across the US, with hundreds of students being arrested.

“As we remain under the bombs of occupation, resisting Nazi genocide, grieving for our martyred

colleagues and faculty, and witnessing the destruction of our universities, we welcome the examples of

solidarity offered by students facing arrest, police violence, suspension, eviction, and expulsion,” the

statement, signed by 13 student organizations, added.

It acknowledged that the students’ protest action was “in order to demand that their universities end

their complicity in the Zionist-U.S. genocide and renounce their support for the occupation and the war

profiteers that arm it.”
