Civil Disobedience,Gaza,Genocide

Brett Wilkins is a staff writer for Common Dreams.

Around 40 peaceful pro-Palestine protesters were arrested Monday on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin as police once again violently cracked down on student-led demonstrations against their school and country's complicity in Israel 's genocidal assault on Gaza . UT students and allies are calling for not only an end to the Gaza genocide but also a suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel and the university's divestment from Israel i investments.

' Mustafa Yowell, a UT engineering student whose father is from Texas and mother is from the occupied West Bank, told Al Jazeera: 'Our main goal is to get the University of Texas to divest. Stop sending money to Israel and divest from companies that profit off of war like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. It has nothing to do with antisemitism, or Islam, or being Arab. It's about human rights, conflict, and oppression that people face.
