American campuses have become the new battleground in the Israel- Gaza conflict. In unprecedented scenes, hundreds of students demonstrating against Israel’s actions in Gaza have been arrested across US universities over the last few weeks including Yale and Columbia.
Earlier this month, more than 100 pro Palestinian protesting students were arrested at Columbia University in New York. They had camped out on the lawns and have been demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and for the university to divest from Israel. Many Jewish students said they did not feel safe in such an environment.
