Knowing your rights under Trump's Palestine crackdown, with Abed A. Ayoub

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday pledging to deport college students on educational visas who take part in protests in support of Palestinian rights – all under the guise of combating anti-Semitism.

This comes after the unprecedented crackdown on students protesting the Israeli genocide in Gaza, armed and supported by the Biden administration, on American college campuses last spring.

Meanwhile, Harvard University has settled a lawsuit brought by Zionist students who alleged that Palestine solidarity activism on campus is a form of harassment.

In addition to awarding the pro-Israel student group financial compensation, Harvard has agreed to implement the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s so-called definition of anti-Semitism.

The IHRA definition, which is aggressively promoted by Israel and its lobby, conflates criticism of the Zionist state with anti-Jewish bigotry.

We are joined by Abed Ayoub, executive director of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), to talk about the US government’s escalating attack on those who speak up for Palestinian rights and what we can do to protect ourselves individually and collectively.

This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's livestream on day 12 of the Gaza ceasefire. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by Abed A. Ayoub, executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).
