Colleges across the US are grappling with the challenge of handling pro-Palestinian demonstrations on their campuses. They have faced the difficult decision of when to intervene and break up encampments and protests. Justifications for crackdowns have included property damage, antisemitic expressions, and the presence of outside provocateurs. However, student groups have contested these claims. The confrontations have led to over 800 arrests since April, and tensions continue to simmer on several campuses. Some schools have accused outside individuals of fueling the confrontations, despite limited evidence to support this. While efforts have been made to restrict access to campuses, administrations have faced criticism for the arrests of their own students involved in the demonstrations. The conflicts show no signs of subsiding, with more protests sparking up across various campuses.
