Wearing the robes they wore to graduation, a former student of George Washington University told Al Jazeera’s correspondent Alan Fisher why the students had a right to protest in support of the people in Gaza.
“I believe that students have always been on the progressive side of history, the morally sound side,” the former student, RK, told Fisher at the protest site.
“These students are doing just that. They have every right to free speech. They have every right to be here,” RK said.
“They [the university management] ask us for donations. What are they using our money for? [Student protesters] have the right to question that. So to threaten calling the police on your own students is, in my opinion, very extreme. Instead, they should listen to what the students are saying, which is to stop funding Israel. To stop funding a genocide. And to allow aid in [to Gaza].”
