Columbia University denies rumors of lockdowns amid ongoing protests, while students demand amnesty and divestment from Israel. Jewish students voice support for Palestinian liberation, criticizing the university for alleged antisemitism. The Biden administration is silent on whether student protesters will be eligible for student loan forgiveness programs. The protests come amidst increased tensions following Hamas' war in Israel.
Protesters at the University of Texas at Austin, unaffiliated with the university, were arrested by law enforcement in riot gear for defying orders to move. Similar protests demanding colleges' financial divestment from Israel have spread to campuses nationwide, with nearly 1,000 arrests. The demonstrations have even reached Europe, with French police removing pro-Palestinian protesters from the Sorbonne university courtyard. Standoffs continue at high-profile universities like Harvard, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania, with Columbia facing federal complaints for its handling of the protests.
Students at Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po) in Paris protested Israels actions in Gaza, demanding condemnation from the institution. Inspired by demonstrations in the United States, the students displayed Palestinian flags and blocked access to the university building. French police removed some protesters, leading to condemnations from left-wing politicians. Demonstrations were organized by the Palestine Committee of Sciences Po, urging the administration to sever ties with entities supporting Israels offensive. Similar protests have been ongoing at campuses in the United States, with Columbia University facing a 10-day protest against the Israel-Hamas war.
Protests at US universities over Israel's conflict with Hamas have led to over 550 arrests and violent clashes with law enforcement officials deploying tasers and tear gas at Emory University, despite mostly peaceful demonstrations. Students are demanding divestment from companies connected to Israel and the war in Gaza, with professors also getting detained during the protests.
Pro-Palestinian protests at US universities intensified over the weekend, with arrests totaling around 275 people at four campuses. President Joe Biden called for peaceful demonstrations amidst clashes between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian groups. The activists demand a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war and advocate for colleges to cut ties with Israel and related companies. The protests have prompted concerns over anti-Semitism and hate speech on campuses, posing challenges for university administrators. The conflict between Israel and Hamas began after Hamas initiated an attack on Israeli towns, resulting in significant casualties.
College protesters are urging universities across the U.S. to divest from all financial support of Israel to pressure companies doing business there. The movement aims to curb what is seen as hostile actions by Israel and halt the expansion of illegal settlements. Students, like those at Columbia University, demand divestment to address the ongoing situation in Gaza, citing concerns of genocide. While exact investment details at Columbia are unclear, the push for divestment intensifies amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The NYPD has mobilized officers near Columbia University but has not been asked to intervene in clearing anti-Israel protesters on campus. Students and faculty members have defied deadlines to vacate a tent camp, with hundreds remaining. Columbia President faced criticism for involving police earlier in a similar protest. The demonstration, echoing past student protests, aims to challenge alleged university policies of racism and imperialism.

Approximately 100 people were detained by police at Northeastern University in Boston during a pro-Palestinian protest, with some individuals arrested for refusing to disclose their affiliation. The protest, initially a student demonstration, was infiltrated by professional organizers leading to the use of anti-Semitic slurs. Students with valid university IDs were released and will face disciplinary proceedings. Similar protests for Palestinian rights have taken place at other universities in the US and Canada, with demands for divestment from companies involved in the conflict.
Students in Paris, inspired by Gaza solidarity encampments in the United States, blocked access to a building at Sciences Po university, leading to classes moving online. The protest at the prestigious French university followed a previous police breakup of a demonstration at one of the university's amphitheaters.
Pro-Palestine protests escalate at top US universities with over 200 arrests in Los Angeles, Boston, and Austin. Video shows police assaulting over 65-year-old professor Caroline Fohlin at Emory University. Students express solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza amidst the conflict with Israel, resulting in large-scale arrests and police use of chemical irritants. Israel launched the war in Gaza after a Hamas attack, with significant casualties reported on both sides.
Former President Trump commented on the anti-Israel protests at colleges in the U.S., urging for an end to the protests. The demonstrations stem from Israels efforts to eradicate Hamas, resulting in a significant death toll in Gaza. Students are calling on universities to divest from companies supporting Israel's military. Similar protests occurred at the Sorbonne university in Paris, inspired by solidarity demonstrations in the U.S. Police removed protesters from the Sorbonne courtyard, reflecting tensions around the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
Columbia University in New York City, New York, has seen numerous instances of student protests, particularly beginning in the late 20th century.
Protesters at Sorbonne University in Paris and Columbia University in the U.S. demand divestment from Israel, while tense demonstrations continue at various campuses. French politicians join the Sorbonne protests, criticism arises over police actions at the University of Texas at Austin, and antisemitic incidents increase following Hamas attacks on Israel. Israeli hostages in Gaza plead for help, and World Central Kitchen resumes operations in Gaza. Joe Biden takes jabs at Donald Trump at a dinner event, and Senate debates federal abortion legislation. Grizzly bears are set to be reintroduced in Washington state, while Zendaya inspires a tennis-inspired fashion trend called tenniscore.
A Jewish student at Columbia University filed a class action lawsuit, alleging the university failed to provide a safe environment amidst surging antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment on campus. The student seeks enforcement of ethical conduct codes for a secure education environment. Debates turned hostile following an attack on Israel, leading to arrests of pro-Palestine protestors. The lawsuit emphasizes the importance of constructive debate and the disruption caused by violence and hostility.
In 1968, a series of protests at Columbia University in New York City were one among the various student demonstrations that occurred around the globe in that year. The Columbia protests erupted over the spring of that year after students discovered links between the university and the institutional apparatus supporting the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War, as well as their concern over an allegedly segregated gymnasium to be constructed in the nearby Morningside Park. The protests resulted in the student occupation of many university buildings and the eventual violent removal of protesters by the New York City Police Department.
Multiple leaders of the anti-Israel protests at college campuses across the nation have been revealed to be paid fellows of George Soros-connected groups. Three major figures at pro-Palestine encampments in universities are fellows at the Soros-funded US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, receiving payments ranging from $2,880 to $7,800. The organization, funded by Soros' Open Society Foundations, instructs its fellows to spark 'revolution' and reject 'reform'. Arrests include former president of the University of Texas Students for Justice in Palestine Nidaa Lafi and USCPR fellow Craig Birckhead-Morton at Yale.
A Harvard CAPS-Harris survey reveals that 80% of registered voters in the United States support Israel more than Hamas in the ongoing conflict, with older voters more in favor of Israel. Pro-Palestinian protests at universities like Columbia and NYU demand divestment from Israel-linked companies. Despite this, 70% support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, with 68% opposing if it means Hamas retains power. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urges Hamas to accept a ceasefire proposal. Americans believe Israel is trying to minimise civilian casualties. A majority agree Hamas should be removed from Gaza, with differing opinions on who should take authority.
Thousands of protesters in Hamburg, Germany, organized by the group Muslim Interaktiv, called for an Islamic state in Germany, carrying signs declaring "Caliphate is the solution" and chanting "Allahu akbar." The demonstration aimed to combat Islamophobia and address the misrepresentation of Muslim groups in the media. German politicians have criticized Muslim Interaktiv for its extremism and connections with fundamentalist organizations like Hizb ut-Tahrir. The protest comes amid heightened anti-Israel sentiments globally, with escalating tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Caitlyn Jenner said she is a 'lifelong champion of Israel' and 'the only thing to protest is Hamas' after clashing with anti-Israel crowds on Saturday. The former Olympian confronted anti-Israel protestors outside the White House Correspondents' dinner in Washington D.C. on Saturday accusing them of 'vitriolic antisemitism'. She shared footage of herself stopping to challenge the crowd, saying '100 million Jews' before flipping them off on her way into the venue.
Sen. John Fetterman criticized anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, denouncing the "germ of antisemitism" present. He supported Israel's right to defend itself and advocated for neutralizing Hamas. Fetterman highlighted the need for peace and a two-state solution while acknowledging support from conservatives for his pro-Israel stance.
On 7 October 2023, a large escalation of the Gaza–Israel conflict began with a coordinated offensive by multiple Palestinian militant groups against Israel. A number of countries, including many of Israel's Western allies, such as the United States and a number of European countries, condemned the attacks by Hamas, expressed solidarity for Israel and stated that Israel has a right to defend itself from armed attacks, while countries of the Muslim world (including the Axis of Resistance) have expressed support for the Palestinians, blaming the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories as being the root cause for the escalation of violence. The events prompted several world leaders to announce their intention to visit Israel, including US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.Numerous countries called for a ceasefire and de-escalation. International organizations, student organizations, charities, ecumenical Christian organizations, and Jewish and Islamic groups commented on the situation. On 27 October 2023, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling for an immediate and sustained humanitarian truce and cessation of hostilities, adopted by a vote of 121 states to 14, with 44 abstentions. As of 6 November 2023, Bolivia has severed diplomatic relations with Israel, while Bahrain, Chad, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Jordan, South Africa and Turkey have recalled their ambassadors from Israel, citing Israeli actions during the war.
Top diplomats, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and foreign ministers from Britain, Germany, and France are attending the World Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia where Gaza cease-fire talks and regional stability are key topics. The Israel-Gaza war, ongoing for six months, has led to a major displacement in the region with tens of thousands killed and half of the Gaza population facing famine-like conditions. U.S. support for Israel, despite internal tensions, and the deep-rooted complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are also highlighted.
In Pictures Tens of thousands of people across the world have staged rallies to mark Al-Quds Day (or simply, Quds Day), an international day expressing support for Palestine and opposition to the ongoing Israeli occupation. The annual day of solidarity falls on the last Friday of Ramadan. People gathered in Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia, Iraq and Lebanon, among many other countries. This year, demonstrations took on a special urgency as anger spilled over across the Muslim world because of Israels war on Gaza that has killed more than 33,000 Palestinians in six months. Tel Aviv has ignored calls for an immediate ceasefire.
A students' union or student union, also known by many other names, is a student organization present in many colleges, universities, and high schools. In higher education, the students' union is often accorded its own building on the campus, dedicated to social, organizational activities, representation, and academic support of the membership.In the United States, student union often only refers to a physical building owned by the university with the purpose of providing services for students without a governing body. This building is also referred to as a student activity center, although the Association of College Unions International (largely US-based) has hundreds of campus organizational members. Outside the US, student union and students' union more often refer to a representative body, as distinct from a student activity centre building, and may also refer to a building run by that representative body.
The US is reportedly planning to impose sanctions on the Netzah Yehuda battalion of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for alleged human rights violations against Palestinians in the West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly denounced the move, stating that the IDF must not be sanctioned. The Biden administration's potential sanctions mark the first time the US would sanction a military unit operated by Israel, leading to tensions between the two countries. Additionally, the US recently imposed sanctions on an ally of Israels national security minister and two entities linked to settler violence.
U.S. President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reiterating opposition to Israel's plans to invade Gaza's Rafah city and stressing the need for sustained humanitarian aid delivery. The U.S. opposes the invasion on humanitarian grounds, while Qatar urges Hamas and Israel to show commitment in negotiations. Qatar, along with the U.S. and Egypt, played a crucial role in a previous ceasefire deal. An Israeli delegation is expected in Egypt for negotiations, and a Hamas delegation will also go to Cairo.
An armed conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups has been taking place chiefly in and around the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. After clearing Hamas militants from its territory, the Israeli military embarked on an extensive aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip followed by a large-scale ground invasion beginning on 27 October. Clashes have also occurred in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and with Hezbollah along the Israel–Lebanon border. The hostilities constitute the fifth war of the Gaza–Israel conflict since 2008 and are part of the broader Israeli–Palestinian conflict. They are considered to be the most significant military escalation in the region since the Yom Kippur War 50 years earlier.The Hamas offensive involved 3,000 militants breaching the Gaza–Israel barrier and attacking Israeli communities and military bases. During this attack, 1,139 Israelis and foreign nationals were killed, while 253 Israelis and foreigners were taken captive to the Gaza Strip. The attack was proclaimed as a response to the continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, the prospect of Arab–Israeli normalization, and the plight of Palestinian refugees and prisoners. In response, Israel declared a state of war, tightened its existing blockade of Gaza and launched one of the most severe bombing campaigns in history, before commencing the ground invasion on 27 October. Israeli forces laid siege to Gaza City on 2 November and moved south to attack Khan Yunis a month later on 3 December; both sieges remain ongoing. Israel's next objective is the capture of Rafah. An estimated 6,000-12,000 militants have been killed during the conflict, and Israel has lost over 200 soldiers during its invasion. A United Nations resolution calling for a humanitarian pause passed on 15 November; the seven-day truce took effect at the end of that month.A humanitarian crisis has developed in the Gaza Strip, with healthcare in a state of collapse, shortages of food, clean water, medicine and fuel due to the blockade, electricity and communications blackouts, and potential famine conditions. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza during the conflict, including over 12,300 children and 8,400 women. Nearly all of Gaza's 2.3 million population have been internally displaced. The widespread civilian deaths have led to accusations of war crimes against both Israel and Hamas. In February 2024 576,000 people were "facing catastrophic levels of deprivation and starvation", stated The United Nations. More than 100 Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops that opened fire when huge crowds raced to pull goods off an aid convoy.The war has had significant international repercussions. Popular protests that primarily call for a ceasefire have occurred across the world. Israel's actions have been denounced by the Islamic world and much of the Global South; South Africa launched an International Court of Justice case alleging that Israel committed genocide. Israel has however received significant support from its traditional Western allies, especially the United States, which vetoed multiple UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate ceasefire. In response, Iran-backed militias have attacked American military bases in the Middle East, while the Yemeni Houthi movement attacked commercial ships they alleged were linked to Israel, incurring a military response from a number of countries.
On the evening of 27 October 2023, Israel launched a large-scale invasion of the Gaza Strip, with the stated goals of eliminating and destroying Hamas, a military and political movement which led an attack against Israel earlier in October, and to free hostages taken by Hamas. Following the attack, Israel declared a state of war, tightened its blockade, ordered the evacuation of the northern Gaza Strip, and launched "Operation Swords of Iron".More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli operation, including over 12,500 children and 7,000 women, with another 7,000 people missing and presumed dead under the rubble of destroyed buildings. By mid-December Israel had dropped 29,000 munitions on Gaza, destroying or damaging 70 percent of homes in the Strip. Experts say that the scale and pace of destruction in Gaza is among the most severe in recent history. During the invasion, Israel destroyed at least a third of Gaza's homes and hundreds of cultural landmarks, and desecrated dozens of cemeteries in the strip.A severe humanitarian crisis has developed, with healthcare in a state of collapse, shortages of food, clean water, medicine and fuel due to the blockade, electricity and communications blackouts, and the UN warning of potential famine. It was widely reported that there is "no safe place in Gaza" as Israel struck areas it had previously told Palestinians to evacuate to. The widespread civilian deaths have led to accusations of war crimes against both Israel and Hamas. Nearly all of Gaza's 2.3 million population have been internally displaced and around 250,000–500,000 Israelis were internally displaced, while thousands of Palestinians have been detained by Israel, and Israel has stated it lost 225 additional soldiers in its invasion as of 4 February 2024.As a result of the invasion, South Africa instituted proceedings against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), charging that Israel was guilty of committing a genocide, and requesting that the ICJ render provisional measures of protection.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken initiated his seventh diplomatic mission to the Middle East since the commencement of the Israel-Hamas war over six months ago. Recent visuals captured fire, smoke, and explosions in Gaza as tensions continue. Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes were mourned with their bodies taken to Al Aqsa hospital, while protests against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's government and demands for hostages' release in Gaza occurred in Tel Aviv.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer during a pro-Palestinian protest at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. She and 99 others were detained, with some facing charges of trespassing, resisting arrest, and assault. Stein, known for her pro-worker, anti-war, and climate action agenda, emphasized the importance of freedom of speech and dialogue on critical issues like Gaza. The incident involved clashes between protesters and police, leading to injuries to three officers. Stein condemned the university's actions and highlighted the need for alternative presidential choices beyond Biden and Trump.
The Gaza–Israel conflict is a localized part of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict beginning in 1948, when 200,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes, settling in the Gaza Strip as refugees. Since then, Israel has fought 15 wars against the Gaza Strip. The number of Gazans killed in the most recent 2023 war — 27,000 — is higher than the death toll of all other wars of the Arab-Israeli conflict.Israel fought four wars against the Egyptian-administered Gaza Strip: 1948 Palestine War, border attacks of 1949–1956, first occupation of Gaza during the Suez Crisis and the capture of Gaza in 1967. During the first occupation, 1% of Gaza Strip's population was either killed, tortured or imprisoned by Israel. Following two periods of low-level insurgencies, a major conflict between Israelis and Palestinians erupted in the First Intifada (523 Gazans killed). The 1993 Oslo Accords brought a period of calm. But, in 2000 the Second Intifada erupted. Towards the end of the Second Intifada, Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005, Hamas won the 2006 election and seized control of Gaza in 2007.In 2007, Israel imposed a land, air and sea blockade of the Gaza Strip, turning it into an "open-air prison". The blockade was widely condemned as a form of collective punishment, while Israel defended it as necessary to stop Palestinian rocket attacks. Hamas considered it a declaration of war. A 2008–2009 Israeli invasion of Gaza resulted in more than 1,000 deaths and widespread destruction of homes, schools and hospitals. A 2012 Israeli operation also killed more than 100 people.In 2014, Israel invaded Gaza in a major war that resulted in the deaths of 73 Israelis (mostly soldiers) and 2,251 Palestinians (mostly civilians). The invasion resulted in "unprecedented" destruction, damaging 25% of homes in Gaza city and 70% of homes in Beit Hanoun. After 2014, notable events in the conflict included the "Great March of Return" (2018-2019) and clashes in November 2018, May 2019 and November 2019. The 2021 crisis saw 256 Palestinians and 15 Israelis killed.On October 7, 2023, Palestinian militants attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people (mostly civilians). Israel responded with bombing Gaza Strip and launching an invasion that has killed more than 29,000 Gazans as of February 2024.
In Pictures More than 60,000 Palestinians offered Eid al-Fitr prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem, but the atmosphere was subdued and not festive as people mourned the victims of Israels more than six-month war on the Gaza Strip. Large contingents of Israeli police officers were deployed at the entrances, surrounding areas and alleys of the city. Because police barred some people from entering the compound, they prayed instead at the mosques outer gates. While few people from the occupied West Bank were permitted to enter, the Islamic Endowments Department in Jerusalem said in a statement that more than 60,000 faithful offered prayers to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Israel has restricted Palestinians access to Al-Aqsa Mosque amid growing tensions across the occupied West Bank due to the Israeli armys ongoing offensive on Gaza.
The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is an ongoing military and political conflict in the Levant. Beginning in the mid-20th century, it is one of the world's longest-continuing conflicts. Key areas of the conflict include the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the status of Jerusalem, Israeli settlements, borders, security, water rights, Palestinian freedom of movement, and the Palestinian right of return.The conflict has its origins in the arrival of Jewish immigrants and settlers to Palestine in the late 19th and 20th centuries and the advent of the Zionist movement. The local Arab population opposed Zionism, primarily out of fear of territorial displacement and dispossession. The Zionist movement garnered the support of an imperial power in the 1917 Balfour Declaration issued by Britain, which promised to support the creation of a "Jewish homeland in Palestine". Following World War I, Mandatory Palestine was established, and tensions grew into open sectarian conflict between Jews and Arabs. In 1936, an Arab revolt erupted demanding independence, which the British suppressed.The 1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine triggered the 1948 Palestine war, which saw the expulsion and flight of most Palestinian Arabs, the establishment of Israel on most of the Mandate's territory, and the control of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank by Egypt and Jordan, respectively. In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel occupied the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (which became known as the Palestinian territories), which is now considered to be the longest military occupation in modern history, and has drawn international condemnation for violating the human rights of the Palestinians.The conflict has claimed many civilian casualties, mostly Palestinian, since its inception. Various attempts have been made to resolve the conflict as part of the Israeli–Palestinian peace process, alongside efforts to resolve the broader Arab–Israeli conflict. Progress towards a negotiated solution between the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was made with the Oslo Accords of 1993–1995. The majority of recent peace efforts have been centred around the two-state solution, which involves the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. Public support for a two-state solution, which formerly enjoyed support from both Israeli Jews and Palestinians, has dwindled in recent years. Official negotiations are mediated by the Quartet on the Middle East, which consists of the United Nations, the United States, Russia, and the European Union. The Arab League, which has proposed the Arab Peace Initiative, is another important actor, along with Egypt and Jordan. Since 2006, the Palestinian side has been split between Fatah dominating the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas that gained control of the Gaza Strip. Attempts to remedy this have been repeated and continuing. Since 2019, the Israeli side has also been experiencing political crisis. The latest round of peace negotiations began in July 2013 but were suspended in 2014. Since 2006, Hamas and Israel have fought five wars, the most recent of which began in 2023 and is ongoing as of March 2024.
Israeli and Hamas officials state that no substantial advancements have been made in the recent Gaza truce negotiations in Cairo involving mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the United States. Despite reports suggesting progress, both sides acknowledge the lack of movement towards a deal. The US presented a proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release to Hamas, awaiting their response. International concern has been raised over the high Palestinian death toll and humanitarian crisis resulting from Israels military actions in Gaza, where over 33,000 Palestinians have died since October 7.
