The courageous pro-Palestinian protests at major US universities over the Gaza war have exposed the entrenched collaboration between the US, the imperial power, its client state Israel and academic institutions. This collaboration has reinforced the global oppression of the Palestinian people.
Universities, which are supposed to seek the truth in their academic endeavours, are unfortunately caught in the web of financial dependence on the oppressors of Palestinian people. These oppressors comprise arms merchants and business institutions that have strong links to the Zionist state of Israel.
It is obvious that the central demand of student protesters on college campuses across the US is that universities divest from Israel-linked companies that are profiting from the war in Gaza.
“Disclose, divest” has been the battle cry of these conscientious students who are not just calling for a ceasefire but also exposing the reality of the unholy collaboration between Zionist supporters and the academic world.
The students’ protests not only educate the American public on the culpability of their political, economic and academic elites for the genocide in Gaza, but they also in absolute terms demand that universities not be partners to the crime against humanity.
The lesson that could be learned from these student demonstrations is that humanity has to be treated with dignity and justice in the global realm. It is also vital to expose the complex web of vested interests that maintains and reinforces an unjust global order.
The destruction in Gaza and the massacre of innocent people is taking place in a context where the globally educated and influential elite have surrendered their conscience at the altar of power and profit.
