• ... that last year many U.S. universities strengthened restrictions on student protests after the pro-Palestinian occupations?

• I am afraid that we cannot accept this as new content. Nearly the entire content of the article had been written and published months before the article was created by splitting from 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses. The article will be made eligible if it is promoted to GA status. Surtsicna (talk) 18:04, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mahmoud Khalil's Arrest and Lawsuit

Should a section be added to tallk about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil who is the first US Citizen to have their green card revoked by the Trump Administration as a result oh his role as a negotiator for Columbia student protests last Spring. If so what do you guys think the section should be headlined? It could be relating to Mahmoud Khalil or it could be more general too. MiddleMac (talk) 23:26, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 11 March 2025

As of 2025, the Trump administration signed an executive order titled “Additional measures to combat anti semitism”, sparking debate over the relationship between Zionism, antisemitism and free speech on university campuses. The order directs federal agencies, including the Department of Justice and the Department of Education, to take immediate action against the “explosion of antisemitism on campuses”. Critics argue that the order could have a negative effect on free speech, particularly for pro Palestinian activists. Some legal experts contend that the policy conflates criticism of Israel with anti semitism, potentially restricting peaceful demonstrations. [Attach UMASS peaceful protest pictures]. Cited by the Middle Eastern Eye, immigration attorney Eric Lee, who has represented university students facing disciplinary action for Palestinian activism, stated “Taken together, these two executive orders essentially ban all non-citizens, including green card holders, from criticizing the US government, its institutions, or the state of Israel on penalty of deportation”. In addition, a report from the Middle Eastern Eye, claims that mainstream news coverage has exhibited widespread islamophobia and anti-Arab language in the reporting of events following October 7th. The analysis found that Israeli victims were described with emotive language “11 times more than Palestinian victims”, leading to concerns that western media coverage disproportionately portrays Palestinians as aggressors while minimizing their civilian casualties in Gaza. Further controversy arose over statements from the White House regarding foreign students involved in Palestinian protests. According to the White House’s, in a fact sheet titled “President Donald J. Trump takes forceful and unprecedented steps to combat anti-semitism”, Trump stated, “To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you. I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before”. The administration's stance has led to legal and civil rights organizations, such as the American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee, to express concern over potential First Amendment Violations.

Hi Donia.hanjani, I guess your edit request is that we add this as a section. However, your text is not yet ready to be published. Could you please try again and put the proper citations at the end of the sentence(s) where they belong? I don't promise though that it will be added to the article, but that makes it easier for me or other editors to check the text. Also, please understand that YouTube usually is not considered a good source. Friendly, Lova Falk (talk) 11:17, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
