Where are the Gaza protests at US universities?
By Max Matza
Protests calling for universities to boycott companies and individuals with ties to Israel amid the ongoing war there have swept college campuses across the US.
Tensions have been escalating at universities in the wake of the 7 October attack by Hamas that left around 1,200 people dead in Israel, and led to Israel’s assault on Gaza that has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians.
Major encampments and protests were seen first at Columbia University in New York, but have since erupted elsewhere across the country.
Students have been arrested at campuses in Los Angeles, California and in Atlanta, Georgia.
In Austin, Texas, the governor ordered state troopers to arrest protesters.
With protests now ongoing at over two dozen campuses, here are where some of the largest are taking place:
Columbia was the first university to see a major pro-Palestinian encampment form on campus, and among the first to be accused of antisemitism.
