INTENSE PROTESTS OVER ISRAEL’S WAR IN GAZA ACROSS U-S CAMPUSES HAVE REACHED A BROADER AUDIENCE.

NOW UNIVERSITIES IN IRAN AND YEMEN ARE REACHING OUT TO STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN EXPELLED OVER THEIR ACTIVISM.

IRAN’S SHIRAZ UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCED THE DECISION TO OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS TO THOSE STUDENTS EARLIER THIS WEEK.

THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SAID:

STUDENTS AND EVEN PROFESSORS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPELLED OR THREATENED WITH EXPULSION CAN CONTINUE THEIR STUDIES AT SHIRAZ UNIVERSITY.

HOUTHI-RUN SANAA UNIVERSITY IN YEMEN SAID THE STUDENTS COULD CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION THERE, TOO.

YEMEN’S IRAN-ALIGNED HOUTHI MILITIA, WHICH HAS DISRUPTED GLOBAL SHIPPING WITH ATTACKS IN SUPPORT OF PALESTINIANS, WELCOMED EXPELLED STUDENTS TO JOIN THEM.

IN A SHOW OF SUPPORT FOR COLLEGE PROTESTERS, PALESTINIANS IN THE GAZA STRIP EXPRESSED GRATITUDE.

DEMONSTRATORS PUT UP THANK YOU NOTES TO SEVERAL AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES.

IT IS WONDERFUL. WE THANK ALL THE STUDENTS AT AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES WHO STOOD IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE IN THEIR CAUSE.

WHILE SOME HAVE COMMENDED THE PROTESTERS EFFORTS, ISRAEL’S AMBASSADOR TO THE U-N WENT THE OTHER WAY DURING A SPEECH AT THE ASSEMBLY ON WEDNESDAY.

CHARACTERIZING THE PROTESTS AS “THE MURDEROUS CRIES OF THE PRO-PALESTINIAN MOBS.” 

AND CALLED IT “NAZI-LIKE BEHAVIOR.”

HE ALSO ACCUSED THE UNITED NATIONS OF SPREADING “ANTI-ISRAEL VITRIOL.”

AND SAID THE U-N’S “DAYS WERE NUMBERED.”
