    In the case of an international student or professor from the middle east or anywhere else for that matter they are in a precarious situation being they only have a visa to study/teach, but that normally doesn't come along with the expectation that if they state their beliefs by as little as going to a protest they will be deported. That's a whole another level of precarity. And I would assume that in many cases students and faculty from abroad make up important segments of many US university movements/protests for Palestine. As they have unique experiences/insight that many people who never leave the US don't have/develop.
