The camp set up by pro-Palestinian students on the campus of Northeastern University was observed by police officers in Boston. According to the university, what began as a peaceful protest was later infiltrated by professional organizers who were not affiliated with Northeastern University. The university strongly condemned the use of violent anti-Semitic insults, including ‘kill the Jews,’ and stated that they could not tolerate hate speech on their campus.
As part of the evacuation, almost 100 people were arrested by the police. Students who could prove their affiliation with Northeastern University were released, while those who refused to do so were detained. The university announced that students detained on campus would face disciplinary procedures but not legal measures.
Last week, demonstrations in support of Palestinians and against Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip spread across several university campuses in the United States. Columbia University in New York was at the forefront of the movement, with the university’s administration announcing that they had given up appealing to the NYPD to remove a camp set up on campus. However, one of the movement’s leaders was banned from entering the university area.
