Cairo/Beirut: Palestinians may be glad to see that outrage over Israel‘s offensive in Gaza has spread to American university campuses. But, some people in this troubled area are also wondering why no such protests took place in those Arab countries, which consider them brothers on the basis of religion. This week’s confrontations between students, protesters and police at American universities have sparked a different kind of violence across the country. Although there have been some protests in Arab countries, they have not been as large or vocal.

People in Gaza feel happiness as well as sadness

Gazans say they watch the protests on social media every day with great interest, but also sadness. The sad thing is that these protests are not taking place in Arab or Muslim countries. A message in support of American students was also found written on a tent in Rafah. It reads, “Thank you to the students for showing solidarity with Gaza. Your message has reached us. Thank you to the students of Colombia. Thank you to the students.” Rafah is the same city where more than one million people are taking refuge from the Israeli invasion.

Why is there peace in Arab countries

Reasons for relative peace in Arab countries may range from fear of angering autocratic governments to political differences with Hamas and its Iranian supporters or suspicion that any protests could influence state policy. Students protesting at US universities could face arrest or expulsion from their schools, but Arab citizens protesting without the monarchy’s permission could face serious consequences.

What is the reason for the anger of American students

Some also say that American students may feel more motivated to protest because their own government supports and arms Israel, while even those Arab countries that have full diplomatic relations with it. Have been strongly criticizing the military operation. Asked about the conflict, Arabs from Morocco to Iraq have consistently expressed anger at Israel’s actions and solidarity with Gaza’s beleaguered residents, which led to subdued Ramadan celebrations across the region last month.
