Around 100 Arrested At Northeastern University Pro-Palestinian Encampment

About 100 people were arrested Saturday morning as police broke up a pro-Palestinian encampment on Northeastern University’s campus, the university announced, the latest crackdown by law enforcement as tensions rise on college campuses nationwide amid growing concerns about antisemitism. Student protesters have spawned pro-Palestinian encampments at college campuses across the nation this month. Protesters have called on universities to divest their endowments from manufacturing companies that supply weapons to the Israel Defense Forces. Several encampments have been broken up by law enforcement, resulting in the arrests of hundreds combined at Columbia University, the University of Texas in Austin, the University of Southern California, Yale University and Emory University, among others. Other student protests have taken place at New York University, the University of California, Brown University, the University of Michigan and Harvard, in addition to several others. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced protests on U. S. campuses earlier this week, referring to pro-Palestinian encampments as “antisemitic mobs” with “horrific” student activity. Netanyahu compared the protests to “what happened in German universities in the 1930s,” adding the protests are “unconscionable” and should “be condemned and condemned unequivocally.”Police Clear 100 Protesters From Pro-Palestinian Encampment At Northeastern University (Boston Globe)Texas Troopers Arrest University Of Texas Students During Protest (Forbes)Who Is Nemat Shafik: Columbia University’s President Faces Calls To Resign Over Protests (Forbes)
