Voices Under Siege: Free Speech, Islamophobia, and Palestine in Academia

Panel discusses the suppression of pro-Palestinian speech in US academia, linking it to Islamophobia, the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism, and donor-driven university policies. It highlights how these dynamics silence dissent, restrict academic freedom, and reflect broader US support for Israeli actions in Gaza despite growing public opposition. This source is valuable for context on the suppression of pro-Palestinian activism, Islamophobia, the weaponization of antisemitism, donor-influence, and campus protests.
