Students across US universities stage walkouts in solidarity with Palestine
TL;DR Summary
Over 400 UC Berkeley students walked out of class to demand that the university support Palestine and divest from arms manufacturers that supply weapons to Israel. The protesters called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, which has resulted in thousands of deaths. They criticized UC Berkeley for its perceived bias and demanded a public statement in support of Palestine. The protest is part of a larger pro-Palestinian movement on college campuses, although concerns about rising anti-Semitism have also been raised.
