@igd_news @susurros Any university that attempts to punish students needs to itself be punished. My suggestion on how to do so is countervalue targetting, in the form of a campaign to force the universities donors to suspend donations.

Also note that the abiity of university sanctions (remember they don't have their own prisons) to deter anyone who deems the survival of Palestinian kids more important that getting a degree is quite limited. That's presumably why threats from universites have not shut down on-campus pro-Palestine activism.

Also we can borrow for their own playbook: if they mess with antiwar Jewish students who are opposing the use of Nazi tactics by anyone (Israel included), they become antisemitic under their own definition.
