NEW YORK — More than 100 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested on Wednesday on the campus of Columbia University after its president authorised New York police to clear an encampment set up by students demonstrating against Israel's actions in Gaza.
Dr Shafik said the protesters had violated the school's rules and policies against holding unauthorised demonstrations, and were unwilling to engage with administrators. At least three students — Isra Hirsi, Maryam Iqbal, and Soph Dinu — have received suspension notices from Barnard College, an affiliate of Columbia, for participating in the encampment, the pro-Palestinian advocacy group Institute for Middle East Understanding said.
Alongside the proliferation of protests, human rights advocates have also pointed to a rise in bias and hate against Jews, Arabs and Muslims in recent months.
