Protests against the Israeli offensive in Gaza have been ongoing, with pro-Palestinian demonstrators taking to the streets in Boston on Saturday morning. A camp set up on a Northeastern University campus was evacuated by police, resulting in the arrest of approximately 100 people. The university stated that students who presented their university ID were released, while those without were taken into custody. Some protesters were accused of engaging in violent anti-Semitic behavior.
The protests have spread to other universities in Boston and Cambridge, with calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, divestment from Israeli donors, and an end to US aid for the Israeli government. Pro-Palestinian camps at universities across the country are pushing for change and calling on Washington to take action. Some universities have taken measures to restrict access to their campuses for those without proper identification. Despite arrests and police actions, pro-Palestinian protesters continue to advocate for their cause, seeking to make their voices heard and push for change in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
