   TikTok CEO #ShouZiChew has said the company will take the fight against the new law to the courts, but some experts believe that for the #US #SupremeCourt, national security considerations could outweigh #FreeSpeech protection.

   While #TikTok is a global phenomenon, it represents a small fraction of #ByteDance's revenue, according to analysts and investors. #TiktokBan #SocialMedia

     Aerial footage from the broadcaster #KABC showed people wielding sticks or poles to attack wooden boards being held up as a makeshift barricade to protect #ProPalestinian protesters, some holding placards or umbrellas. At least one firework was thrown into the camp. #Israel

     Hundreds of #NewYorkCity police officers entered #ColumbiaUniversity on Tuesday evening to clear an academic building taken over by #ProPalestinian students the day before, as tensions surrounding the students’ campus encampment for #Gaza have roiled the New York school for two weeks. #Israel

     #NYPD officers move on to campus on Tuesday evening to clear out #HamiltonHall building taken over by protesters, with reports of more arrests at City College of #NewYork.

     Hamilton Hall was one of several buildings occupied during a 1968 #CivilRights and #AntiVietnamWar protest on the campus. #Israel

     Secretary of State #AntonyBlinken urged #Hamas to accept what he said was an “extraordinarily generous” proposal for a truce and hostage release agreement.

     The diplomatic push comes as protests against #Israel’s actions rock college campuses across the U.S. and as Israel fears its leaders could soon face arrest warrants from the #InternationalCriminalCourt. #TheHague

     The historical precedents are becoming more overt. In 1969, #Harvard called in the #police to clear #AntiWar protesters, as #Columbia had done a year earlier. Both events produced pictures of bruised and bloodied students.

     In May 4, 1970, an incident seared in the #US national memory, the #NationalGuard at #KentStateUniversity in Ohio opened fire on students protesting the war,killing 4. #Israel

     Young people, in particular, are following the #Israel-#Hamas war on social media, and many are horrified by what they see.

     They’ve also grown up with protest movements — #OccupyWallStreet, #BlackLivesMatter, the Parkland, Fla., students’ gun control campaign — as the backdrop of their lives. #VietnamWar

     #MuhammadMugheir, of the #Gaza Civil Defence, showed journalists videos of relatives as they identified the remains of their loved ones among the hundreds of bodies that have been exhumed, including with signs of #torture and #execution. #Israel

     [Warning: Video blurs the worst parts but images may still be very upsetting]
