Protests on American college campuses have recently seen demonstrators concealing their identities behind face coverings while advocating for an end to the conflict in Gaza. This tactic has sparked controversy, with critics labeling the masked protesters as 'gutless' and lacking courage.
The use of face masks, once a symbol of pandemic safety measures, has now become a tool for protesters to shield their identities during demonstrations. However, these actions have resulted in property damage, violence, and numerous arrests at universities like Columbia and UCLA.
