Peaceful demonstrations have been intensifying on college campuses across the United States, with students calling for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the cessation of U.S. military aid to Israel. Despite certain U.S. politicians branding the demonstrators as \"antisemitic\" and hundreds of students being arrested, the anti-war protests continue to gain momentum, spreading to the UK and France.
Questions remain whether the voices from U.S. college students will make a difference on the ground in Gaza, how the U.S. government will respond to student demands, and as Israel approves plans to invade Rafah, whether the protests will continue to escalate.
In this edition of Dialogue, guests include Peter Kuznick, professor of history at American University; Robert Patillo, civil and human rights attorney; Ray Baker, adjunct professor at Towson University; and Sally Patterson, CGTN correspondent in New York.
