Causes and effects of propalestinic protests at US universities according to Shimon Stein

The former Israeli ambassador in Germany, Shimon Stein, speaks about the causes and possible effects of the propalestinic protests at US universities. Stein explains that some students see authentic pictures from Gaza and for this reason protest. Progressive opinion also plays a role at universities, since Israel is perceived as a colonial state. Stein realizes that the protests will probably not end quickly. He also expresses his concern about reports of Jewish students in New York who are worried by the protests.

stone understands the need for demonstrations for one thing as long as they are non -violent, but he observes that propalestinian demonstrations, even in Germany, are often exceeded. The demonstrations would no longer only be directed against the current situation in Gaza, but would also include hidden anti -Jewish and anti -Semitic statements that culminate in violence.

In terms of mood in Israel, Stein describes a shared opinion towards the politics of the Netanyahu government. Some advocate tightening the pressure to achieve their goals, while others, to which it also belongs, believe that the release of hostages has a top priority and therefore have to be made. Stein also criticizes the Prime Minister Netanyahu and accuses him of not having a clear strategy and neglecting the interests of the state in favor of his political survival.

It is important to note that such expressions of opinion are of individuals and does not necessarily reflect the general mood among the population.

Summary The view of Shimon Stein:
- Authentic pictures from Gaza and progressive opinion at universities as reasons for propalestinic protests
- Reports of Jewish students in New York on worrying statements
- Criticism of crossing border in demonstrations and hidden anti -Semitism
- shared opinion in Israel about the politics of the Netanyahu government
- Criticism of Netanyahu for a lack of clear strategy and prioritization of his political survival
