The forced retirement of a renowned Columbia University professor over pro-Gaza activism has yet again revealed the overwhelming influence of Zionist lobbies on US academia.

US campuses have adopted tough rules to restrict criticism of Israel’s war on Gaza with the beginning of the first fall semester, making pro-Palestinian students face censorship.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry imposes sanctions on nearly a dozen American individuals for their role in clamping down on pro-Palestinian protests in condemnation of Israel’s war on Gaza.

Amid protests in US universities against the Israeli-American genocide in Gaza, Ayatollah Khamenei wrote a letter to students, his third letter to Western youth since 2015.

Zionist strategy of dealing with the ever-growing student movement against genocide in Gaza betrays a sickness at the heart of its identity – a self-victimising stance that pushes it to simply fake attacks by anti-genocide protestors.

The US government has resorted to brutal measures not only to suppress the growing student movement but also to demonize it labeling protesters as “criminals” and “terrorists.”

Many Iranian universities have offered scholarships to us and European students expelled or suspended for taking part in pro-Palestinian on-campus demonstrations.
