750+ Jewish Students Affirm Support for Pro-Palestine Campus Protests

Brett Wilkins is a staff writer for Common Dreams.

'In the last week, we have watched the movement of student encampments for Gaza spread across the country.

' Biden faced backlash last week for falsely characterizing the campus encampments as lawless and violent while ignoring police brutality and physical attacks against protesters, including a mob assault at the University of California, Los Angeles. Critics also pointed out the president's ahistorical admonition that 'dissent must never lead to disorder'—a statement that ignores how the United States was founded via violent revolution.
