The student who Zionists fear: MEMO in Conversation with Bryce Greene

Middle East Monitor Conversations

When Greene agreed to be interviewed on Talk TV he was told that conversation would be open and he was welcome to put his points across to viewers and the hosts, however when the show started, presenter James Whale shut him down for wearing a keffiyeh and refused to speak to him. Greene tells MEMO why he continues to remain active in spite of such attacks.

American students are rebelling. The campus protests across the US against Israel's genocide in Gaza and Washington's support for Tel Aviv's actions have alarmed Israel and its supporters. US President Joe Biden has condemned them and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused them of being 'Iran's useful idiots' during his speech to the US congress last week. This panic is also reflected in sections of the media, when Bryce Greene was invited onto Talk TV, he found his mere presence was triggering for the hosts. What upset them? Greene turned up wearing a keffiyeh, a scarf worn by Palestinians and pro-Palestine advocates, which led to the hosts cutting him off and ending the interview. Greene is involved with organising student protests and was invited on to discuss why people should not support Israel's genocide. What is it about these young protests that Zionists fear so much? Bryce Greene joins us on MEMO Conversation.

Bryce Greene is US Gaza student encampment organiser.
