• Students at the University of Arizona planned a Gaza protest on campus, but pulled it.
• They canceled after the university's president condemned the event as contrary to its values.
• It is part of a wave of protest and backlash roiling US campuses.

The pro-Palestinian group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) axed a planned a Gaza protest on the University of Arizona's campus on Thursday.

The cancellation was another round in a growing confrontation roiling US colleges over how to respond to events in Israel.

I will do them the courtesy of imagining this decision owes at least in good part to their having come to their senses....
