New Delhi: Pro-Israel protesters raised slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram' at an American university. It is noteworthy that Muslim-turned-Hindu Shayan Ali Krishna was also prominent among the pro-Israel protesters. Pakistan-born Shayan Ali Krishna said that I am an Indian at heart. I am American by choice. He also had an Israeli flag wrapped around him. This video is now going viral. In the video, he is seen saying that he has also wrapped his rotating Israeli flag.
This Shayan Ali Krishna also criticized people with anti-India attitude. Along with raising slogans of 'Jai Shri Ram', they also raised pro-Israel slogans.
The South Asian youth wrote on his social media handle that “India and Israel are on the same ‘page’.” Both are facing extremism. “Both are facing extremism coming from the neighbourhood.” Naturally, he was referring to terrorism coming from Hamas and Pakistan.
In stark contrast to Krishna's views on the Israel-Hamas war, pro-Palestinian demonstrations are taking place at several American universities. Achintya of Indian origin was the leader of the protesting students in Shivalingam College campus. The police also arrested him and took punitive action against him last Thursday and 'expelled' him from the college.
In short, due to the Israel-Hamas war, students in American universities have also become divided. However, the majority of students are pro-Palestine. While a group of students are pro-Israel. Clashes often break out between the two groups and become intense, forcing the police to 'intervene'.
