Columbia University is experiencing yet another wave of protests, this time from pro-Palestinian activists who have taken over the Hamilton building. The administration had previously ordered the dismantling of their encampment, but negotiations between student organizers and academic leaders failed to convince them otherwise. As a result, dozens of tents set up to express opposition to Israel’s war on Gaza remain standing, prompting suspension of student activists who refused to comply with the dismantling order.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident at the University of Texas at Austin, police arrested dozens of students involved in a pro-Palestinian demonstration that ended in the use of pepper spray. This event has sparked controversy and criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.
Despite these events, it is important for us to stay focused on the central point of the protests: opposition to Israeli military actions in Gaza. It is crucial that we continue to engage in peaceful and respectful dialogue about these issues, rather than resorting to violence or intimidation tactics.
