Anti-Israel demonstrations that have been taking place on college campuses in the United States are now spreading globally. Encampments resembling those seen at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Columbia University in New York have emerged at several universities in Australia.
Recent images show hundreds of activists gathering around tents set up on the campus of the University of Sydney, urging the institution to divest from companies with ties to Israel. Participants at the rally expressed their belief in the importance of raising awareness and demonstrating solidarity once they understand the situation.
Similar encampments have also been established at universities in Melbourne and Canberra, according to sources. The University of Sydney's Vice Chancellor, Mark Scott, acknowledged the presence of both groups of protesters and emphasized the importance of allowing space for peaceful demonstrations.
