Student anti-war protesters at U.S. college campuses are digging in and vowing to keep their demonstrations going, while some universities have moved to shut down encampments after reports of antisemitic activity among the protesters.
Student protests over the Israel-Hamas war have popped up on an increasing number of college campuses following last week's arrest of more than 100 demonstrators at Columbia University. The students are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel’s military efforts in Gaza and in some cases from Israel itself, The Associated Press said. Protests on many campuses have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups. The groups largely act independently, though students say they’re inspired by peers at other universities.
