A wave of pro-Palestinian campus protests has surged through universities in the US this week, resulting in hundreds of arrests. The epicenter of these demonstrations is at Columbia University in New York, where protesting students are demanding the school to sever ties with Israeli academic institutions and divest its funds from entities linked to Israel.
Similar demands have been echoed by protesters at other campuses across the nation. The protests have brought together students from diverse backgrounds, including Palestinians, Arabs, Jews, and Muslims, united in denouncing Israel's bombardment of Gaza.
