Over the past week, anti-Israel protests and encampments have popped up on college and university campuses across the nation, after an initial one was started at Columbia University in New York.
Since the start of these anti-Israel protests and encampments, students have been suspended, those involved in the protests and encampments have been arrested, and graduation ceremonies have been canceled.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas, a U.S.-designated Islamic terror group, invaded Israel, leaving 1,200 people dead and more than 200 people taken as hostages.
In the aftermath of the attack, Israel launched a self-defense operation in the Hamas-controlled territory of Gaza.
As the war between Israel and Hamas continues, the people in Gaza are facing imminent famine.
Pro-Palestinian protests have increased since October 7, with protesters calling for a ceasefire and for the United States to stop arming Israel.
Arab Americans in Michigan, which is considered to have the largest Arab-American population, have vowed to “punish” President Joe Biden and not vote for him in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, as he has promised his support for Israel is “ironclad.”
