Violence broke out Wednesday evening at an encampment at Sproul Plaza on the UC Berkeley campus after days of peaceful assembly in response to the Israel-Hamas war, a contrast to arrests and turmoil at other American schools.
The American Jewish Committee and Los Angeles officials addressed concerns of antisemitism in light of the recent Pro-Palestinian protests at UCLA in a press conference Friday.
Pro-Palestine protesters are staying put late Wednesday night despite UCLA warning demonstrators that the encampment is “unlawful" and that everyone must leave the area.
