This could be the moment when Israel loses the West (MiddleEastEye)

David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, discusses the parallels between the anti-Vietnam war protests in 1968 and the ongoing global demonstrations against the Gaza war. He highlights how these protests have reignited support for the Palestinian cause and prompted a new generation of American Jews to challenge the claim that Zionism owns their narrative.

Hearst also delves into the student protests at universities across the United States, and how Columbia has been at the centre of the revolt once again, with an encampment protesting Israel’s assault sparking a wave of similar actions on college campuses across the country and Europe.
