I am a big fan of Glenn Greenwald and have been for many years because of his relentless attack on hypocrisy of all kinds. He has just put up a show that covers in part the desire of Trump to deport any foreign students who participated in the pro-Palestinian campus protests last year. The entire program is worth viewing/reading but the follow excerpt I found on point in light of my appeal to all Americans to wake up, see the tight grip of Zionism on the US and work to break that grip, which is what I am doing. The entire Greenwald program is here.
"We are vastly approaching a situation where a condition to remain in the United States is expressing love and support for Israel or at least remaining silent. Our academic institutions are being cleansed of the right to criticize Israel. We went over those new antisemitism definitions at Harvard. Today, there was a finding that a graduate student had violated the rules of Columbia because they linked to documents and literature on astronomy in Gaza as part of a course, and that is now no longer allowed. These are graduate students, not just adults in college but graduate students! Our institutions are being cleansed of the right to criticize the state of Israel. By the way, you're allowed to criticize the United States all you want. Just not Israel."
