Barry Williams for New York Daily News

Over the last six months as Israel has carried out its genocidal ethnic-cleansing campaign in Gaza, American political and media figures have been more obsessed and fixated than ever before on the dangerous threat being posed by pro-Palestine protests, particularly on college and university campuses. This tension reached a boiling point this week as Columbia University invited the NYPD onto its campus to disrupt the Gaza solidarity encampment there which resulted in the arrests of over 100 student activists.

I talked to The Intercept’s Prem Thakker about this situation and the growing divide over the US’s support for Israel between average people and powerful figures in politics, media and acedemia.
