"Clashes and Arrests: Columbia University's Pro-Palestinian Protests and Antisemitism Hearing"

Dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University were arrested by the police after constructing an encampment on campus, defying university warnings and policies. The arrests came after university leaders pledged to Congress to crack down on unauthorized student protests related to the war in Gaza. The actions represent a challenge to the university's president, who has faced criticism for her handling of pro-Palestinian protests. The protesters, including the daughter of Representative Ilhan Omar, continue to demand divestment from companies complicit in the conflict and full amnesty for students facing repression.
