(Washington Composite Electric) The anti -Israeli demonstration of American college students continued to heat up. Police arrested nearly 300 students participating in the demonstration at four universities last weekend. The White House also emphasized that campus protests must be peaceful.
The anti -anti -protests who swept the American university have no signs of gentleness. In response, the White House National Security Council spokesman Cerbin Sunday (April 28) showed in the interview program of the Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)The government respects the right to protest peace, but he emphasizes: "We absolutely condemn the anti -Jewish remarks that we have recently heard, and all hatred remarks and violent threats."
This wave of demonstrations from the first outbreak of Columbia University now expand to university campuses across the United States, and the atmosphere is becoming increasingly popular.The demonstrators set up a camp to prepare for a long time in the campus, asking Israel to stop the military operations in Gaza. Some students also demanded that the government has withdrawn from the entities that support Israel and the war.
Last weekend, the demonstrations of pro -Barlus and Israeli also had physical conflicts at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).Vice President UCLA issued a statement afterwards, "UCLA has been a place for peaceful protests for a long time, and we are distressed by violent incidents."
The police also launched an arrest operation in many universities last weekend. At least 275 people were detained, including 100 people at Northeast University in Boston, 80 people at the University of St. Louis Washington University, more than 70 people at the University of Arizona, and University of Indiana 20Many people.
Jill Stein, a 73 -year -old Jewish Stein, was arrested in Saturday (27th) when he was in support of students.
Stein said in an interview with the United States Cable Television News Network (CNN) before being arrested: "This involves a very important subject ... the freedom of remarks.It is regrettable to make riots.
Some senators are opposed to sending the National Guard
Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives, warned last week that if universities cannot quickly calm the demonstration, the official or the National Guard of the National Guard will enter the campus.This statement has attracted attention, and many senators also criticized their voices that things should be handled by local police or schools, while encouraging students to talk.National Guard (National Guard) is a local armed forces of the state governments in the United States.
Ohio Republican Senator Wanus said in an interview with Fox News: "I'm not sure if it is necessary to dispatch the National Guard, maybe it is enough to call the police."
Cyan, Senator of the Virginia Democratic Party, pointed out that the dispatch of the National Guard to deal with students is a "very, very bad idea."He said that this would evoke people's painful memories, because in 1970, the National Guard drove to the Kent State University of Ohio to demonstrate the anti -Vietnam war students, and the four students died.
The Democratic Cumini Senator Murphy pointed out that most students protested based on anti -war beliefs, and the government should protect the right to protest between these young people.
The wave of campus demonstrations make the management of each school in dilemma. On the one hand, we must respect the freedom of speech, and on the other hand, it must curb the sensitive anti -Jewish information involved in demonstrations.
Student demonstrations have also disrupted the normal operation of colleges and universities, especially the end of the year -end exam.Many universities, such as the California State University of Science and Technology, have closed the campus and allowed students to transfer to the Internet.
