In the past two weeks, pro-Palestinian protests have spread to college campuses across the U.S., triggered by the mass arrest of over 100 people at Columbia University more than a week ago.

Protesters are demanding a ceasefire in the war with Hamas and the divestment of university assets in companies involved with the Israeli military, and an end to U.S. military assistance to Israel.
