Israel supporters attacked a pro-Palestinian protest camp at University of California in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK - Supporters of Israel attacked a pro-Palestinian protest camp at the University of California in Los Angeles on Wednesday , hours after New York City police arrested some 300 protestors, as days of mounting tensions on some US college campuses boiled over.
Arrests at Columbia and nearby City College of New York numbered about 300, Mayor Eric Adams said, with many of them charged with trespassing and criminal mischief. With the presidential election coming in November, Republican lawmakers have accused some university administrators of ignoring antisemitic rhetoric and harassment, some demanding that Columbia's president resign. Many protesters, some of whom are Jewish, reject allegations of antisemitism.UCLA officials declared on Tuesday that the encampment was unlawful, violated university policy and included people unaffiliated with the campus.
Benjamin Kersten, a UCLA graduate student and member of the group Jewish Voice for Peace, called it "a devastating night of violence". The atmosphere was calmer on Wednesday. Hundreds of police officers and squad cars were on campus and lining its perimeter. It was unclear how many arrests were made or the number of people who were injured.In New York, police had arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators holed up in a building at Columbia University and removed a protest encampment that the Ivy League college had sought to dismantle for nearly two weeks.
Ben Solomon, a 22-year-old Jewish student at Columbia, said he welcomed the move to clear the protesters from the occupied building and the encampment.
