Minnesota

Excerpt:

Students in campuses across the U.S. have engaged in walkouts, risking disciplinary action and being doxxed and harassed. University of Minnesota students participated in such a walkout organized by the University of Minnesota Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). On the same evening, activists from the Antiwar Committee, Minnesota Immigrants Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) and MN Abortion Action Committee, staged a sit-in at Rep. Betty McCollum’s (DFL) office, which resulted in 12 activists being arrested while she was signing House Resolution 771 that supported Israel’s right to defend itself, without calling for a ceasefire or condemning Israel’s atrocities against the Palestinians.

On November 1, 2023, the day President Biden visited Minnesota, thousands of Minnesotans protested his visit. Part of this protest was a student contingent organized by SDS. Biden declined to meet with any Muslim community leaders during his visit. While addressing a campaign fundraiser in Northfield, he was interrupted by Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg who said, “Mr. President, if you care about Jewish people, as a rabbi, I need you to call for a ceasefire right now.”
