Student Protests Demand Divestment at Universities
News summary

At the University of Haifa, a controversial student election process has raised concerns about exclusionary practices against Palestinian students, with allegations that the administration intentionally restricted candidacy submissions to maintain control over the student union. Meanwhile, at Johns Hopkins University, pro-Palestinian protests have sparked backlash from local groups who claim that the demonstrations have crossed into anti-Semitic territory, highlighting a growing divide on campus regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In Oklahoma, students from the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University held separate rallies advocating for Palestinian rights, demanding actions like divestment from companies involved in the conflict and the raising of the Palestinian flag on campus. The protests at both universities were marked by a mix of support and opposition, with counter-protesters voicing their dissent. The events reflect a broader national mobilization among students advocating for Palestinian rights amidst heightened tensions related to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. This series of demonstrations illustrates the increasing polarization of student activism on U.S. campuses regarding Middle Eastern issues.
