Protests, including rallies, demonstrations, campaigns, and vigils, relating to the Gaza war have occurred nationwide across the United States since the conflict's start on October 7, 2023, occurring as part of a broader phenomenon of the Gaza war protests around the world.

On December 3, pro-Palestinian protestors held a citywide demonstration with several stops, including Goldie, an Israeli restaurant owned by Michael Solomonov. Chants directed at the restaurant by protestors were condemned by politicians, including the Biden administration, Governor Josh Shapiro, Senator John Fetterman, Representative Brendan Boyle, State Representative Ben Waxman, and State Senator Nikil Saval. In their statements, politicians asserted that the restaurant was targeted for being Jewish-owned. The Philly Palestine Coalition denied this accusation, citing Solomonov's financial support for the Friends of United Hatzalah, an emergency services organization partnered with the Israel Defense Forces, Solomonov's Israeli government-appointed role as a "culinary ambassador", and allegations by former Goldie employees that they were fired for expressing pro-Palestinian beliefs.{{Cite web |last=Owens |first=Ernest |date=December 4, 2023 |title=Here's What We Know About the Protests Surrounding Michael Solomonov's Restaurants |url=https://philly.eater.com/2023/12/4/23987446/boycott-michael-solomonov-restaurants-goldie-israel-palestine |access-date=March 17, 2024 |website=Eater Philly |language=en |archive-date=March 17, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240317164650/https://philly.eater.com/2023/12/4/23987446/boycott-michael-solomonov-restaurants-goldie-israel-palestine |url-status=live }}

On November 6, Brandeis University became the first private university in the United States to ban its student chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, saying that the leading factor in their decision was "the SJP’s support of militant group Hamas". A student spokesperson for the SJP chapter disputed this claim, calling it "unsubstantiated" and saying "we have not received any evidence that can lead to the suppression of our right to free speech." The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression said that "None of the chants or slogans cited by President Liebowitz come close to meeting the legal criteria for incitement or harassment," and that "Brandeis is punishing its students for nothing more than protected political advocacy."{{cite web |last1=Oshin |first1=Olafmihan |title=Private university bans Students for Justice in Palestine as Middle East fallout spreads |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/4296741-first-private-university-bans-students-for-justice-in-palestine-as-middle-east-fallout-spreads/ |website=The Hill |date=November 7, 2023 |access-date=November 10, 2023 |archive-date=November 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231110002100/https://thehill.com/homenews/4296741-first-private-university-bans-students-for-justice-in-palestine-as-middle-east-fallout-spreads/ |url-status=live }} On November 10, Columbia University suspended its campus chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace for repeated violations of campus event policies, thus barring them from hosting events on campus.{{cite web |last1=Rosberg |first1=Gerald |title=Statement From Gerald Rosberg, Chair of the Special Committee on Campus Safety |url=https://news.columbia.edu/news/statement-gerald-rosberg-chair-special-committee-campus-safety |website=Columbia University |date=November 10, 2023 |access-date=November 10, 2023 |archive-date=November 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231110200228/https://news.columbia.edu/news/statement-gerald-rosberg-chair-special-committee-campus-safety |url-status=live }} Columbia's decision was criticized by Naomi Klein and Noura Erakat.{{cite web |title=Rights advocates slam Columbia University for suspending student groups |url=https://aje.io/182btv?update=2477946 |website=Al Jazeera |access-date=November 11, 2023 |archive-date=November 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231118201904/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/11/10/israel-hamas-war-live-fears-grow-for-palestinians-at-gaza-hospitals?update=2477946 |url-status=live }} After Harvard University president Claudine Gay condemned the slogan "from the river to the sea", more than 100 faculty signed an open letter criticizing her censure.{{cite news |last1=Hartocollis |first1=Anemona |title=Harvard, Columbia and Penn Pledge to Fight Antisemitism on Campus |work=The New York Times |date=November 11, 2023 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/10/us/harvard-columbia-antisemitism.html |access-date=December 4, 2023}}{{cite web |last1=Hamid |first1=Rahem |title=More than 100 Harvard Faculty Sign Letter Criticizing President Gay's Censure of Pro-Palestine Slogan |url=https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/11/15/faculty-condemn-president-gay-statement/ |website=The Harvard Crimson |access-date=November 15, 2023 |archive-date=November 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231115053512/https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/11/15/faculty-condemn-president-gay-statement/ |url-status=live }} On December 14, Rutgers University became the first public university to suspend its campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine in response to complaints of disruptive behavior and vandalism.{{cite web |last1=Yellin |first1=Deena |title=Students for Justice in Palestine decries 'double standard' after Rutgers suspends chapter |url=https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/education/2023/12/12/rutgers-university-suspends-students-justice-palestine-chapter-protests/71892078007/ |website=North Jersey |access-date=December 14, 2023}} Donors to top universities in the United States withdrew millions of dollars in donations in light of the universities' responses to Hamas' offensive.{{cite web |last1=Jack |first1=Andrew |title=US universities lose millions as donors pull funding over Hamas stance |url=https://www.ft.com/content/22316ef9-f71e-4076-8d95-b3fa18fcb520 |website=Financial Times |access-date=November 18, 2023}}

The ACLU sees the bill as an attack on First Amendment rights and argues that its "overbroad" definition of antisemitism "could result in colleges and universities suppressing a wide variety of speech critical of Israel or in support of Palestinian rights in an effort to avoid investigations by the Department [of Education] and the potential loss of funding".{{citation needed|date=July 2024}}

Organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and Conference of Presidents have praised the bill, and it is based on definitions by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance that have been criticized by 100 Israeli and international civil society organizations that wrote to the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres in 2023 urging the UN not to adopt the definitions.[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/11/us-university-protests-antisemitism-free-speech Campus protest crackdowns claim to be about antisemitism – but they're part of a rightwing plan] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240513040959/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/11/us-university-protests-antisemitism-free-speech |date=May 13, 2024 }}; Arielle Angel; The Guardian; May 11, 2024[https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/4657119-the-antisemitism-awareness-act-is-bad-for-american-jews-heres-why/ The Antisemitism Awareness Act is bad for American Jews — here's why] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240513154138/https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/4657119-the-antisemitism-awareness-act-is-bad-for-american-jews-heres-why/ |date=May 13, 2024 }}; Miko Zeldes-Roth; The Hill; May 12, 2024[https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/house-vote-expanded-definition-antisemitism-amid-growing-campus-109838397 House passes bill to expand definition of antisemitism amid growing campus protests over Gaza war] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240513152231/https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/house-vote-expanded-definition-antisemitism-amid-growing-campus-109838397 |date=May 13, 2024 }}; Farnoush Amiri; ABC News; May 1, 2024[https://www.newarab.com/news/800-jewish-scholars-urge-biden-reject-antisemitism-bill Over 800 Jewish scholars urge Biden to not sign IHRA antisemitism bill] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240513152233/https://www.newarab.com/news/800-jewish-scholars-urge-biden-reject-antisemitism-bill |date=May 13, 2024 }}; The New Arab; May 10, 2024
