Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered at Fordham University's Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan's Upper West Side on Wednesday, setting up a small encampment inside the university's Lowenstein building. The demonstration drew more than 50 participants who protested outside the encampment, with New York City Police officers establishing a barrier around the perimeter where the demonstrators were located.
The group vocalized their support for Palestine by chanting 'free free Palestine,' and one demonstrator held a sign that read 'anti-Israel is not antisemitism,' advocating for a ceasefire and urging the university to divest. Fordham officials promptly issued a safety alert to students, notifying them of the ongoing demonstration at the Lowenstein Center.
