In response to escalating tensions at Columbia University, pro-Palestinian protests have erupted at Yale University, resulting in the arrest of at least 16 people, including students. Inspired by the actions of Columbia students, Yale students created a ‘Gaza Plaza Liberated Zone’ on campus, a symbol of solidarity with the student-led Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia. However, the protests at Yale have also been marred by reports of harassment targeting Jewish students, similar to incidents reported at Columbia. The ongoing demonstrations have prompted Columbia University to move classes online to quell the unrest. The arrests and university response highlight the intensifying polarization surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on college campuses.
