They can be found among our youth on American college campuses despite threats from wealthy Zionist VIPs whose powerful influence stretches to government, media, education and even Hollywood.\u00a0 \u00a0The Zionists are desperate to shut down pro-Palestinian opposition to Israel&#8217;s world crimes which are aimed to help establish &#8220;greater Israel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dare to be publicly pro-Palestinian?
