What's behind pro-Palestine protests flaring up on U.S. campuses?

CGTN

27:45

Peaceful demonstrations have been intensifying on college campuses across the United States, with students calling for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the cessation of U.S. military aid to Israel. Despite certain U.S. politicians branding the demonstrators as "antisemitic" and hundreds of students being arrested, the anti-war protests continue to gain momentum, which have spread to the UK and France. Will the voices from U.S. college students make a difference on the ground in Gaza? How will the U.S. government respond to student demands? And as Israel approves plans to invade Rafah, will the protests continue to escalate? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Peter Kuznick, professor of history at American University; Robert Patillo, civil and human rights attorney; Ray Baker, adjunct professor at Towson University; and Sally Patterson, CGTN correspondent in New York.
