University of California students continue their sit-ins to stop the war on Gaza and withdraw investments from “Israel”

|

Hundreds of students at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA, continue their sit-ins demanding an end to the genocidal war on Gaza and the withdrawal of investments from the Israeli occupation entity.

Hundreds of law enforcement personnel also gathered on the UCLA campus, preparing to evacuate the pro-Gaza protest camp.

The American police used gas to break up clashes that broke out between students in solidarity with Gaza and others supporting the occupation entity at the University of California, yesterday, Wednesday.

Clashes took place between students calling for an end to the Israeli war on Gaza and others who support Israel at the University of California, yesterday.

Scenes spread on social media showed pro-Israel groups attacking students protesting in support of Gaza and denouncing the Israeli war, which led to clashes between the two sides.

Thousands of students in dozens of American universities and colleges and many European universities continue demonstrations demanding an end to the genocide committed by the occupation army in the Gaza Strip, and denouncing the continued American and Western support for Israeli crimes.

The pace of demonstrations escalated despite the arrest campaigns carried out by police and security forces against students and demonstrators who support the Palestinian cause, and the threat of university administrations to implement more arrests and punitive measures if the protests continue.

From Los Angeles to New York, passing through Austin, Boston, Chicago, and Atlanta, the movement of American students supporting the Palestinian cause is expanding, as protests were organized at a number of internationally prestigious universities such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton.

Students at universities seek to pressure administrations to withdraw investments from the occupying entity and the companies that support it and to boycott Israeli universities that are complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people.
