US police will beat down peaceful protests though

Students say Columbia University campus a ‘war zone’ due to police operation

We’re here outside the [City University of New York] and you can see there’s about three, four or 500 people. Most of them are students that have come here to denounce what happened on Tuesday evening at the Columbia University campus and here, when around 300 students were detained by the police.

This is what many universities in New York City and across the United States look like with the presence of the police.

Universities have requested that the police stay after many of the students that were carrying out encampments inside of the universities were evicted because they’re afraid of people trying to go in again.

We’ve been listening to students saying that Columbia University on Tuesday evening became a war zone. They said that some students were injured. They’re saying they’re not being allowed to protest to shed light on what’s happening in Gaza.

At least 20 protesters arrested at University of Texas, Dallas


At least 20 pro-Palestine protesters have been arrested from a Gaza solidarity encampment on the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) campus, according to local police.

Several dozen people set up tents at UTD’s Chess Plaza on Wednesday morning, with one sign saying “Welcome to Gaza Liberation Plaza”.



Police were seen dismantling the encampment and arresting protesters for criminal trespass on Wednesday afternoon. It’s unclear how many of the protesters are students at the university.
