Supporters of Israel attacked a pro-Palestinian protest camp at the University of California in Los Angeles on Wednesday, while New York's mayor said a pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University broken up by police had been led by outsiders.
Police have swept through campuses across the US over the last two weeks in response to protests calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies that support the war in Gaza.
Pro-Palestinian protesters were seen smashing windows at Columbia University early on Tuesday morning as the school began to suspend students for refusing to dismantle tents set up on the New York campus.
Columbia warned that students who refused to vacate tent encampments would be suspended and be ineligible to complete the semester in good standing. The students have demanded divestment from Israel and amnesty for students and faculty involved in the protests.
Khymani James, 20, went as far as to say, "Be glad, be grateful that I'm not just going out and murdering Zionists". This comes as anti-Israel protests are flaring up in US universities as the death toll mounts in the nearly seven-month-long Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
The Israel-Hamas war has gone on for nearly seven months with no end in sight, devastating Gaza and killing more than 34,000 Palestinians. Now, students at prestigious US universities have demanded their schools to condemn Israel's assault and stop accepting investments that benefit Israel.
With tensions at Columbia continuing to run high and some students afraid to set foot on the campus, officials said the Ivy League school will switch to hybrid learning for the rest of the semester.
