On Thursday, more than a dozen demonstrators were arrested at Ohio State University during anti-Israel protests that took place on the Columbus campus. The protests, which saw clashes between police in riot gear and protesters, were part of a larger movement sweeping the nation in support of Palestine.
The demonstrations began at around 5 p.m. when hundreds of pro-Palestine supporters gathered in the South Oval green space area of the campus. They were calling on the university to divest its investments with Israel-linked companies. However, at 7:30 p.m., Ohio State police officers started instructing the crowd to disperse, but the protesters refused to comply.
