Student Movement in West to Pave Way for More Just World System: Tunisian Diplomat
The student movement that began in US universities and spread to other countries promises a more just and fair world system, a Tunisian diplomat said.
Ahmed Al-Qadidi, the North African country’s Ambassador to Qatar, made the comment in an article published on Arabi21 website. Following are excerpts from his article:
The movement of American and European university students in support of Gaza has come at a time when elite Jewish figures are also condemning the Zionist regime’s war on the Gaza Strip and atrocities it has been committing.
It is clear that the war on Gaza, which began on October 7, t has changed the unjust setting of international politics, one that had been based on lies and distortion of realities and people had been become used to accept.
Over the past few weeks, American university students and professors have raised the flag of Palestine in universities, staged sit-ins and called for an end to the Israeli regime’s genocide in Gaza and a halt to their country’s support for the brutal war on the Palestinian enclave.
The rallies and sit-ins have spread to universities across the United States and other Western countries, including France.
There have been signs of a profound change in how young university students as well as scholars view the international developments. A few days ago, a French scholar and philosopher who used to support Israel said for the first time that the Zionist regime is moving toward decline and annihilation.

The current movement of university students in the West is a reminiscent of the student uprising against the then French president Charles de Gaulle in 1968, which brought about major changes in the French society and Europe with slogans like “friendship instead of war”.
Today, students have risen up in France against the massacre of Palestinians.
One should remember that France is the only country that has a strange law based on which questioning the figures cited about the Holocaust could land you in jail.
Popular uprisings like the one in France brought about major changes in the 20th century and expanded nations’ freedoms and so will today’s uprising in Western countries against the Zionist regime’s atrocities in Palestine.

What is regrettable though is that, despite expectations, there have been no such movements in universities in most Arab countries.
