Columbia University journalism graduate student Gillian Goodman, along with Prem Thakker, a politics reporter for The Intercept, discuss the campus protests against Israel’s actions in Gaza on a special episode of Intercepted. Thakker provides insight into the students’ demands for schools to sever financial ties with Israel and weapons manufacturers. Meanwhile, the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington has agreed to work with students to divest from companies that profit from human rights violations and the occupation of Palestinian territories. This makes the college one of only a few in the US to reach such an agreement with protesting students.
