The group is holding a demonstration off-campus just one day after protesters clashed with police on USF grounds.
TAMPA, Fla. — University of South Florida students and other community members are once again gathering for a pro-Palestinian demonstration — this time off campus.Dozens could be seen waving Palestinian flags and holding signs that read"Stand with Palestine! End the occupation now!" and"Ceasefire now!" Protesters are demanding the university condemn Israel's assault on Gaza and divest from companies they believe are pro-Israel.
"As the day progressed, police observed participants in person and through social media expressing their intent to use some of the items they brought on campus as weapons and to resist university staff members and law enforcement officers. As a result, USF police determined that the protest was no longer peaceful, and participants must leave the area," the USF statement read, in part.
