As Gaza is laid to waste, students across the US have protested at universities against the Israeli offensive in response to the 7 October Hamas-led attacks on Israel. Tensions have continued to rise and police officers have taken action.
Demonstrations against the war in Gaza have intensified at US universities this week, with clashes erupting between students, counter-protesters and police. Students at dozens of schools have rallied or camped out in recent days to oppose the Israel-Hamas war. They have called on US President Joe Biden to do more to stop the bloodshed in Gaza and demanded schools divest from companies supporting Israel's government.
Mr Biden has denounced 'antisemitic protests' and stressed that campuses must be safe, saying: 'There is a right to protest but not a right to cause chaos.' At Portland State University, police officers held a protester who was trying to block officers from leaving the area with vans full of detained students. There have been protests in Indiana too where demonstrators have pitched tents on campus.
