The student movement protesting Israel's invasion of Gaza that began in October 2023 is ongoing, challenging policies under both the Biden and Trump administrations. Activists are pushing back against repression and advocating to end U.S. support for Israel, with escalating protests leading to over 80 campuses mobilizing in 2024. Encampments and occupations, such as at Columbia University, have emerged as key tactics. The consequences of these protests include thousands of arrests and expulsion of students, with a heightened focus on the substantial civilian casualties in Gaza.
The current wave of student movement took off as the death toll in Gaza mounted. By the end of 2023, the loss of life in Gaza already exceeded 20,000 people.
In 2024, student protests swept the nation, turning campuses into the epicenter of US resistance against Israel's genocide. By May, the movement had spread to over 80 campuses.
