"Arrests and Protests: NYPD Clashes with Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators at Columbia University"

The NYPD detained over 100 individuals at a pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University following a request from the school's president, Minouche Shafik, citing a "clear and present danger." The protest was organized by activists advocating for divestment from companies operating in Israel, a cease-fire in Gaza, and the creation of a Palestinian state. This clash occurred a day after university leaders testified about anti-Semitism before Congress, and despite the police intervention, the Institute for Middle East Understanding stated that protests at the university would continue.

"Pro-Palestinian Protests Across US Turn Violent, Demanding Ceasefire in Gaza"

Protests in San Francisco over the weekend included a show of support for the Jewish community and a pro-Palestine demonstration calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Unity March aimed to combat rising antisemitism, while the pro-Palestine protest turned violent, with police pepper spraying demonstrators after reports of assault, vandalism, and property damage. Both protests shared a common goal of ending the fighting in Gaza, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to capture global attention.
