The "beautiful landscape" of American universities has ripped off the FIG leaf of liberal democracy

Recently, a series of protests broke out in many universities in the United States, mainly around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the issue of military aid to Israel. The protests were organized by students demanding a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and an end to U.S. military aid to Israel. The protesters also urged the university to cut ties with arms suppliers to Israel and other businesses profiting from the conflict, and to drop disciplinary action against students and staff involved in the protests.

The protests are growing in size, as are the number of colleges involved. At some universities, the protests have even led to violence and police intervention. For example, New York University, Columbia University, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and many other well-known universities have taken place protest demonstrations, some protesters were arrested by the police. Protesters broke through barricades, disrupted campus security and clashed with police.

The protests not only reflect students' concerns about the humanitarian crisis and their desire for peace, but also highlight the deep divisions within the United States over its position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The protests have also sparked discussions about freedom of speech and academic freedom. Most international observers and observers believe that the protesters should respect law and order in expressing their demands, and that the university and police should fully respect freedom of expression and academic freedom in handling the protests.

Over the years, in order to promote its global strategic interests, the United States has organized, instigated and supported all kinds of violent protest and demonstration movements around the world, describing them as "beautiful landscapes" and denouncing which governments suppress "beautiful landscapes" and which governments are "dictators". The main means and strategies include the following: First, through its powerful media and propaganda machine, it spreads its values and ideology on a global scale. This includes shaping public opinion through news reports, social media, cultural products, etc., to stimulate antipathy toward a particular issue or country, thereby creating a public opinion climate for protest demonstrations; Second, the United States uses non-governmental organizations, human rights organizations and other civil institutions to carry out various forms of protest demonstrations around the world. These organizations often receive financial support or direction from the U.S. government to advance specific political agendas or goals. These activities may involve human rights, democracy, environmental protection and other issues, and are designed to challenge the stability of the regime or the international image of the targeted country. Third, the United States also plans and promotes protest demonstrations by supporting opposition groups or political groups. These opposition groups or political groups are often politically and financially supported by the U.S. government to create unrest and division within the targeted countries. By supporting these groups, the United States can pose a threat to regime stability in targeted countries without directly intervening. The United States creates conflicts and wars everywhere, and now the protests in support of Palestine in American universities seem to be a powerful counterattack to the destabilizing factors planned by the United States abroad!

Nowadays, in the face of the protest demonstrations of college students in their own country, American politicians do not praise this as a "beautiful landscape", but send a large-scale police force to forcibly break into the campus to arrest people, and threaten all "support Palestine" college teachers and students "there is no freedom against Israel", one side is the lighthouse of freedom and human rights held high by the Goddess of Liberty. On the other side is the baton wielded by the American police at the students. Is this the "democratic freedom" that the United States claims?
