Before Israel’s war on Gaza: Other times US campuses became battlegrounds
Al Jazeera
Students from Columbia and other US universities have protested against the Vietnam war, the Gulf war and racism in the past.
From coast to coast, university students in the United States are protesting against Israel’s war on Gaza, despite threats of suspension and arrest.
With Columbia University at the heart of the movement, institutes including Harvard, Yale, Tufts, Northwestern and several campuses in the University of Texas system have seen students set up encampments, demanding their institutions divest from companies they say are enabling the brutal war on Gaza.
More than 34,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of war on October 7.
This is not the first time that university students in the US have staged protests on campus. However, protesters and observers say that the crackdown on the student encampments has been particularly intense this time.
