Widespread student protests have erupted across multiple US universities in response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza. Columbia University faced criticism for calling police on protesters, leading to over 100 arrests. The demonstrations have spurred backlash, with accusations of antisemitism, but protesters deny these allegations. On Monday, Columbia faculty walked out in solidarity with the students, and other universities, including NYU, Yale, and Harvard, witnessed protests. The demonstrations reflect growing discontent among young Americans over US support for Israel, with calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies linked to Israel.
