Irrational violence against pro Palestine demos will be of no avail 
Iran Parliament: Lawmakers condemned heavy-handed crackdown on pro Palestine
academic demonstrations in the USA and Europe.                           

Members of Iranian Parliament Majlis have vehemently condemned the heavy handed
crackdown on pro Palestine academic demonstrations in the United States and
Europe saying the use of irrational violence against student protesters will be
of no avail.  In a statement on Tuesday as many as 150 members of the
legislative body threw their weight behind American and European university
students supporting Palestinians in the months-long Israeli war on the besieged
Gaza Strip.
			   
Today Gaza is the scene of confrontation between an oppressed afflicted and
resistant nation and a ruthless and usurping entity In this battle sympathizing
with the oppressed and protesting against the oppressors is the least of human
duties the Iranian lawmakers said.  Stressing that the Israeli regimes record
of aggression and usurpation amounts to seven decades the statement said what
is nowadays coming to pass in the form of bravery and resistance by
Palestinians in Gaza is the volcano of pen-tup anger and pain of a nation.  The
expression of solidarity with Palestine by academics of the world especially in
Western countries is a movement that stems from a justice-seeking altruistic and
humane nature.
			   
Playing victim and distorting the facts in the West's mainstream media have not
been able to completely cover up the bloody scenes in Gaza the lawmakers
stated.  Expressing their gratitude to the American and European university
students for supporting Palestinians in Gaza the statement said Irrational
violence against this rights-seeking call will not cure the pain of oppressors.
			   
Imprisonment of freedom
			   
In a post on his X social media account on Tuesday Iranian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Nasser Kanani censured the apprehension of pro Palestine university
students in the United States.  Students at dozens of universities in the US
and Europe are protesting against the Washington-backed Israeli onslaught on
Gaza which has killed more than 34000 people since October last year.  The
students are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies
that are advancing the occupying regimes war on the besieged Palestinian
territory.
			   
In the past 10 days hundreds of students have been arrested suspended put on
probation and in some cases expelled from colleges.  The United States has been
providing Israel with unrestrained military intelligence and financial support
since October 7 when the regime unleashed the war against the besieged
Palestinian enclave.  Washington gives Israel 38 billion in military assistance
every year and US President Joe Biden has continued to provide staunch support
to the illegal entity amid the Gaza war Last Wednesday Biden signed into law a
massive funding package that will provide an additional 17 billion to the
occupying regime.  Washington has also vetoed several United Nations Security
Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in the brutal military aggression.
