The majority of people protesting in the few US colleges are US citizens.
It all started with tiktoks and when US House passed an aid package to Israel recently.
It's not happening in all US colleges though, the main ones where the protests are big are top schools like Columbia, NYU, Harvard, Yale, and UCLA. Everywhere else, it's very passive.
The people actively protesting are mostly arts students, they still go to class and come back.
I know this because of my friends who go to College in the US, they told me.
The discrepancy is very varied btw. Like for example in Georgia State there are barely any protests while if you drive 15 mins to Emory from there, there were massive protests.
But the anti-zionism sentiment is very real, even students who aren't protesting are very actively sharing pro-palestine posts and sneak dissing people who are pro-israel on social media, etc.
