Several faith, civil rights and progressive groups have expressed solidarity with university students protesting US support for Israel.
“We commend the students who are exercising their right to protest peacefully despite an overwhelming atmosphere of pressure, intimidation and retaliation, to raise awareness about Israel’s assault on Gaza – with US weapons and funding,” the organisations said.
The statement, backed by nearly 190 groups, highlights the growing progressive support for the campus protest movement despite crackdowns by university administrators and law enforcement agencies.

Houthis claim attack on two vessels, two US destroyers
Yemen’s Houthis targeted two US destroyers and the vessel CYCLADES in the Red Sea as well as the MSC Orion in the Indian Ocean, the group’s military spokesman Yahya Sarea said.
The Houthis, who control the most populated parts of Yemen, have carried out dozens of attacks on vessels with commercial ties to the US, the UK and Israel in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since November.
The group says the attacks are a response to Israel’s assault on Gaza.
