Hundreds of students gathered at university campuses in Lebanon on Tuesday to protest against Israel, the country\u2019s first coordinated university protests over Gaza, which participants said were inspired by sit-ins in the United States.
\nStudents, alumni and other Lebanese gathered at campuses in the capital Beirut and elsewhere on Tuesday, waving Palestinian flags and posters demanding their universities boycott companies that do business in Israel.
\nRayyan Kilani, 21, who is graduating this semester from the 150-year-old American University of Beirut (AUB), said students had decided it was worth risking their degrees to show support for the Palestinian cause.
\n\u201cLooking at the Palestinians in Gaza and students in Gaza that lost their universities, their lives and their families, a degree would not matter to us as much as a liberated Palestine from the river to the sea,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cOf course we were inspired by the protests in the U.S. and Columbia University in specific.\u201d
\nPro-Gaza demonstrations in much of the Arab world have been muted, though Lebanon has seen some demonstrations organised by Palestinian factions and the allied Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
\nAt the AUB, around 200 people gathered in a campus square where they had been given approval by the administration to protest for two hours. Campus security barred protesters or journalists from venturing further into the university grounds and shepherded reporters off campus as the allotted window to demonstrate came to a close.
\nAt the Lebanese American University, some students briefly chanted \u201cDeath to America.\u201d
\n\u201cWe want to show to show the whole world that we have not forgotten the Palestinian cause and that the young generation \u2013 which is aware and cultured \u2013 is still with the Palestinian cause,\u201d said 19-year-old Ali al-Muslem.
\nElsewhere in the Arab world, activists called off a planned sit-in on Tuesday at Jordan University in Amman, the country\u2019s main campus, although a rally was planned later on Tuesday near the Israeli embassy.
\nOn Monday, hundreds of students demonstrated in Tunisian universities and streets of the capital in support of the Palestinian people, while dozens rallied outside the French Embassy and near the municipal theatre.<\/p>\n
