(1) Pro-Palestine protests on American college campuses are becoming more and more intense. Conflicts followed one another on different campuses. For example, at Columbia University, nearly a hundred students supporting Palestine were arrested by police on April 18, which caused great controversy and suspended many classes on campus starting on April 18.

At least 34 people are currently believed to have been arrested, including journalists who were conducting interviews and reporting from the scene.
Similar solidarity protests have spread to universities across the United States. Students participating in the activities called on the United States to stop providing military aid to Israel, oppose funding of schools by corporations that support Israel, and support Palestinian war refugees. However, some Israeli or Jewish students pointed out that “anti-Semitic” hate speech, even intimidation and threats, appeared in these protests, which made some students uncomfortable. Regarding these statements, teachers and students from different schools responding to the activities responded that these extreme words and actions were not intended to support the protests, but could be the malicious sabotage of a very small number of people.
However, these opinions appear to be within campus, and there is not much overlap between people with different positions. On the contrary, due to the management of the campus by the police, the entire protest and students intensified.

In October 2023, the “Three Brothers Alliance” composed of ethnic armed organizations from Myanmar. launched Operation 1027 to attack several military strongholds. Although the power of the military government has weakened, fighting between several parties continues, and sporadic conflicts with the border areas of various countries also continue.

The United Nations has called Myanmar’s civil war a human rights disaster, and many Western countries have imposed economic sanctions on junta members.

More than 300 armed organizations are spread across the country and must fight alongside the Burmese army at all times. Under the government army’s compulsory recruitment system, anxious young people believe that if they cannot flee abroad, they will choose to take up arms and join the ranks of the rebels to return to their way of life free of yesteryear.
