the usual suspects are doing everything they can to suppress free speech about the truth of gaza in particular and palestine in general
"..College campuses were hostile to Palestinian activism and after 1975, Congress initiated legislation to conflate Palestinian struggle with terrorism. In the 1980s, a group of students in California faced deportation because they attended a “haflah” (literally, party) which was allegedly sponsored by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
In 1984, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee published The AIPAC College Guide: Exposing the Anti-Israel Campaign on Campus which failed, in fact, to show much anti-Israeli presence on college campuses (with the exception of a few places such as Georgetown University).
Many U.S. universities (including Georgetown which was accused of pro-Arab bias) established chairs for visiting Israeli professors. There were and are more college courses offered on Israel than on all of Asia and Africa combined.
Israel fought the spread of knowledge about Arabs and Islam and the creation of the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown was met with enormous opposition and resistance from the Israel Lobby.
The reason leaders of the Lobby are freaking out now is because people, especially the young, are learning for the first time about Palestine and not through traditional media.
Washington’s effort to ban TikTok, which faces a legal challenge, is largely due to the propagation of information, not opinions, about the Arab-Israeli conflict.

AS`AD AbuKHALIL: History of US Activism for Palestine
While their ultimate impact should not be exaggerated, the protests for Palestine taking place on U.S. college campuses are historic. By As`ad AbuKhalil Special to Consortium News There is a long history of muted protests for Palestine on college campuses. Imagine, Palestine never dre
