Podcast episode with Sahar Aziz and Murtaza Hussain looking at the repression of pro-Palestine campus protest efforts during 2024, in the context of the Gaza genocide. The conversation situates the campus protest movement in a longer American tradition of student activism with the Civil Rights Movement, anti-Vietnam War, and the Black Rights Matter (BLM) movement. The discussion also covers how university campuses have become a battleground over free speech and US foreign policy, the weaponization of antisemitism, and similarities to the post-9/11 targeting of Arab and Muslim communities. This source is valuable for research on pro-Palestinian activism, campus protests, freedom of expression, and the second Trump administration.
