Washington: Anti-Israel protests are still going on in America, but due to the strictness of the police, their impact is very less. There have been sporadic incidents of students protesting in support of Palestine during convocation ceremonies in colleges and universities located from North Carolina to California in America. At the same time, hundreds of undergraduate students walked out during Governor Glenn Youngkin’s address at Virginia Commonwealth University.
Some students demonstrated silently
According to the US WRIC TV channel, an estimated 100 students stood up and walked out during the Republican governor’s speech, with some students and their families demonstrating in support of Palestine and others criticizing Youngkin’s education policies. Some Palestinian supporters staged a silent protest at the commencement ceremony held at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Camp Randall Stadium.

A photo published by the Wisconsin State Journal newspaper shows six people coming out of the back of the stadium, two of whom are seen holding a Palestinian flag. This demonstration took place at a time when pro-Palestinian students had agreed to end the ongoing demonstration on the university campus last Friday and said that they would not create any kind of obstruction in the convocation ceremony. The university had agreed to support students affected by the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
