Story

Israel is fighting in Gaza. Students in the United States are getting very active. They want the fighting to stop and for companies making money from it to be avoided. This is happening in many universities from New York to California. The students are following a long tradition of being active and standing up for what they believe in. They are facing punishment like being suspended, expelled, or even arrested. But they believe they are doing the right thing. In a show called Talk to Al Jazeera, they talk about these strong protests and how they are trying to make changes in policies. At the University of Chicago, students left their graduation ceremony to protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. One person at the ceremony was caught on camera shouting bad words at the protesters.
