US Colleges Grapple with Pro-Palestinian Protests, as Hundreds of Protestors Arrested
- 4 months ago
Pro-Palestinian protests have emerged at colleges across the US, demanding schools cut ties with Israel and divest from companies supporting the conflict. Some schools are negotiating with protesters, while others quickly used police force to end demonstrations. Over 90 arrests were made at USC and over 100 at Emerson in Boston during police crackdowns on encampments. Protests continue at many schools, with some protesters occupying buildings for days and tensions rising with exams nearing. Jewish students at some schools say the protests have made them afraid to be on campus.
