Description

Barry Williams for New York Daily NewsOver the last six months as Israel has carried out its genocidal ethnic-cleansing campaign in Gaza, American political and media figures have been more obsessed and fixated than ever before on the dangerous threat being posed by pro-Palestine protests, particularly on college and university campuses. This tension reached a boiling point this week as Columbia University invited the NYPD onto its campus to disrupt the Gaza solidarity encampment there which resulted in the arrests of over 100 student activists.I talked to The Intercept’s Prem Thakker about this situation and the growing divide over the US’s support for Israel between average people and powerful figures in politics, media and acedemia.Find Prem’s reporting with the Intercept here.Subscribe to the Insurgents podcast by clicking this button: This is a public episode.
