Pro-Palestine rallies spread after police arrest students at Columbia University
University students in the United States have announced solidarity rallies to show support for the Palestinians caught in the Israeli regime’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Students at the University of North Carolina, Boston University, and Harvard College announced student walkouts “in solidarity with steadfast Columbia students.”
Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian demonstrators continued with their protests at Columbia
Pro-Palestinian protesters are “peacefully protesting for divestment from genocide,” said one of the organizers of the rallies, Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
On Thursday, New York police dismantled tents set up by pro-Palestinian students at Columbia University, arresting 108 protesters.
Law enforcement officers came into action apprehending the students after Columbia University President Nemat Minouche Shafik authorized the New York Police Department to raid the campus following a grilling at a House of Representatives committee on so-called anti-Semitism.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said police had made the arrests concerning alleged trespassing on the university campus.
