Nearly 300 peaceful protesters were arrested over the weekend as student-led Gaza solidarity encampments across U.S. university and college campuses face an intensifying crackdown. Democracy Now! spoke with Columbia University professors and students Monday as they were threatened with suspension but voted to continue the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, which began almost two weeks ago. "Hundreds of our students have been disciplined in the past six months on unfair premises," said Sueda Polat, a Columbia student organizer who is studying human rights. "We are willing to put a lot on the line for this cause. My right to education shouldn't come before the right to education of Gazans."
