Quick Glance: Wave of Pro-Palestinian Protests at US Universities
- The number of pro-Palestinian student protests at American universities is increasing as the unrest in Gaza continues. Despite disciplinary measures and police interventions, the demonstrations persist. Protesters have set up encampments on more than a dozen campuses, urging universities to divest from companies profiting from the Israeli occupation.
- Police in New York arrested over 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators at New York University on Monday night, following the establishment of an encampment earlier that day outside the Stern School of Business.
- The ongoing protests have garnered strong condemnation from lawmakers. On Wednesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott criticized a protest at the University of Texas in Austin. The White House condemned antisemitism on college campuses in a statement regarding Passover on Sunday, refraining from specifying particular institutions or incidents.

Quick Glance: Support for Glazer's Oscar Speech: Open Letter from Jewish Hollywood Professionals
- More than 150 Jewish Hollywood professionals, including Joaquin Phoenix and Joel Coen, support Jonathan Glazer after facing intense backlash for his Oscar speech.
- The controversy over Glazer's remarks, where he rejected his 'Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people in Gaza and Israel', has persisted for weeks.
- Some filmmakers and organizations praised Glazer, emphasizing the complexity of views on the Israel-Gaza war and the rift it has created within the Jewish community.
- This week's letter expressed concern about the 'silencing effect' the attacks on Glazer could have, calling for a permanent ceasefire, safe return of hostages, and immediate aid delivery to Gaza.
