Video shows clash between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine students

Students called on institutions to sever financial ties with Israel, a key ally of the United States. Students consider the relationship with the country unsustainable after the Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip.

In a video released by the news agency Reuters (look above) It is possible to see young people using sticks, throwing objects and setting off fireworks to destroy the camp of Palestine supporters at the University.

Police stated on X (formerly Twitter) that they “immediately responded to (university authorities’) request for help on campus.”

According to UCLA President Gene D. Block, acts of violence tend to cause “deep anxiety and fear, especially in Jewish students.”

Large numbers of New York City police officers began entering Columbia University on Tuesday night as dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters remained on campus.

Students occupied Hamilton Hall hours earlier after setting up camp earlier this month. After police forces entered the campus, protesters who resisted ended up being detained.

Shortly before the officers entered the campus, the New York Police Department received a warning from Columbia authorizing the officers to act, a police officer told The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The police used a ladder to access one of the university’s windows. To support the operation, a bus was made available to transport the detained students.

After the police action, protesters continued to demonstrate in the streets around the university. The shouts of order, this time, came from the New York police.
