Inspired by ongoing demonstrations and recent arrests at Columbia University, students are demanding their schools divest from businesses linked to Israel.
The protests stem from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which criticizes Israel's policies towards Palestinians. The movement has gained momentum as the Gaza conflict surpasses six months, with reports of Palestinian suffering fueling international calls for a ceasefire.
Hundreds of students from Massachusetts to California are now setting up tent camps and pledging to stay until their demands are met. This follows Hamas' "Operation Al Aqsa Flood" against Israel, which resulted in Israeli casualties and hostage-taking.
Israel's reaction has sparked widespread condemnation, as the Gaza health ministry has reported more than 34,000 Palestinian fatalities, predominantly among children and women. (ILKHA)
