Campus Protests Take Center Stage
Protests on American university campuses have broken out across the country in response to the deaths of Palestinian women and children during Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. As is typical of leftist protests, the issue is not the issue but the revolution — as protesters called for a “free Palestine” “from the river to the sea,” i.e., the abolition of Israel. The New American was on the scene at two University of Wisconsin campuses in Milwaukee and Madison during the protests and captured photographs of the events.
