In the past month, the Trump administration has detained, deported, or revoked the visas of numerous international students in the US for their protests against Israel’s conflict in Gaza, raising concerns about political dissent and free speech. This crackdown has drawn criticism for being supported by mainstream media and pro-Zionist groups, indicating broader implications for dissent in America. Meanwhile, Germany seeks to deport four foreign students for their pro-Palestinian activism, and Serbia faces ongoing youth-led protests against President Vucic’s government, challenging media narratives and demanding reform.
