World Varsity Movement Indebted to Iran for Pro-Palestinian Rallies

By: Kayhan Int’l

Mass protests at universities against the ongoing genocide in Gaza that started a month ago in the US and soon engulfed higher academic centres throughout the country have now spread worldwide with the Palestinian flag unfurled everywhere and peaceful demands for “Palestine should be free from the River (Jordan) to the Sea (Mediterranean).”

Unfortunately, university students who are regarded as leaders of the future in various fields including politics, culture, arts, science, technology, research and all other fields, have been brutally mistreated by the present set of politicians of the West supporting the holocaust of the Palestinians by the illegal Zionist entity in violation of their own claims of respect for human rights and democracy.

In the prestigious learning centres of the Occident, ranging from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Colombia in the US, to Oxford and Cambridge in the UK and in France’s Sorbonne and the universities of Germany and other European countries, the once banned flag of Palestine flies high, while the real Jews eagerly flock to such freedom rallies to make a bonfire of the Israeli flag in order to make clear that Judaism, a religion that respects human rights, has no connection to the terroristic ideology of Zionism.

In the US, some 700 Jewish professors have written a letter to President Joe Biden against the folly of equating the pro-Palestinian gatherings at universities and other places with ‘anti-Semitism’ and signing into ‘law’ a controversial bill passed by legislators due to their questionable connections with Israel and its war crimes, and their inability to differentiate between Judaism and Zionism.

Biden is a self-confessed Zionist despite his claim to profess the Christian faith and is definitely anti-Palestinian indifferent to the plight of Christian Palestinians whose churches, schools, hospitals, businesses, and residential quarters have been deliberately reduced to rubble in Gaza by Israel’s targeting bombing.

It is for this reason he has appointed as Secretary of State a dyed-in-the-wool Zionist who is on record as saying that his first and foremost sympathies lie with Israel and its policies, while US national interests are a secondary matter.

No wonder, Antony Blinken – of non-Semitic Ukrainian origin with dubious claim to Judaism – acts as chief liaison officer for the notorious child-killer Benjamin Netanyahu to procure billions of dollars of weapons for Israel, while deceptively dangling to Saudi Arabia the bait of doubtful benefits of openly establishing diplomatic ties with the occupiers of Islam’s 3rd holiest site and the mass murderers of Palestinians.  

This means, ‘Genocidal Joe’, in total disregard to US national interests and the welfare of US citizens, might sign into law the bill branding the popular university movement as ‘anti-Semitism’ or whatever that ill-defined term means, albeit with some delay to try to fool the conscientious American public.

At any rate, as is evident by the growing number of students (of high school as well) who are making their voices felt at convocation hall and graduation ceremonies in the face of the shamelessly pro-Israeli speeches of US officials, the future belongs to the American public up in (peaceful) arms against an officialdom that continues to criminally arm genocidal Israel.

In Canada, in Japan, in South Korea, in Malaysia, in Indonesia, in Turkey, in Egypt, in Jordan, in Pakistan, in Latino and African countries, university students, in solidarity with their US and West European counterparts, are enthusiastically emulating today, what Iranian students have been doing solo over the past four decades.

The Iranian people, including the student community, have indeed succeeded in eventually arousing world public and university opinion to the US-supported crimes against humanity of the illegal Zionist entity.
