These paragraphs are an excerpt from 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses.[edit]

Pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses escalated in April 2024, spreading in the United States and in other countries, as a part of wider Israel–Hamas war protests. The escalation began after mass arrests at the Columbia University campus occupation, led by anti-Zionist groups, in which protesters demanded the university's disinvestment from Israel over its alleged genocide of Palestinians. As of May 9, over 2,900 protesters have been arrested, including faculty members and professors, on over 60 U.S. campuses, with protests spreading across Europe. Some protesters have termed the movement as a "student intifada".

The different protests' varying demands include severing financial ties with Israel and its affiliated entities, transparency over financial ties, and amnesty for protesters. The occupations have resulted in the closure of Columbia University and Cal Poly Humboldt; Portland State University pausing financial ties with Boeing, over its ties to Israel, and Trinity College Dublin agreeing to end certain investments in Israeli companies. Several other universities made agreements with protesters in order for encampments to be dismantled, some universities' graduation ceremonies were cancelled, and protests sporadically occured at various graduation ceremonies in May 2024. Universities have also suspended students, with some also expelled. The protests have been compared to the 1960s anti-Vietnam protests, the 1968 protests, and protests against apartheid in the 1980s.

Over 200 groups have expressed support for the protests, as well as Jewish U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and multiple progressive members of Congress. The protests have been characterized by President Joe Biden, former president Donald Trump, U.S. governors, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as antisemitic. Jewish student demonstrators at Columbia have insisted the protests are not antisemitic. The police response to the protests has also been criticized by various Democrats and human rights organizations.

This section is an excerpt from 2024 Columbia University pro-Palestinian campus occupation.[edit]

A series of occupation protests by pro-Palestinian students occurred at Columbia University in New York City in April 2024, in the context of the broader Israel–Hamas war related protests in the United States. The protests began on April 17, 2024, when pro-Palestinian students established an encampment of approximately 50 tents on the university campus, calling it the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, and demanded the university divest from Israel.

The encampment was dismantled when university president Minouche Shafik authorized the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to enter the campus on April 30, 2024 and conduct mass arrests. A new encampment was built the next day. The administration then entered into negotiations with protesters, which failed on April 29 and resulted in the suspension of student protesters. The next day, protesters broke into and occupied Hamilton Hall, leading to a second NYPD raid, the arrest of more than 100 protesters, and the dismantling of the camp. The arrests marked the first time Columbia allowed police to suppress campus protests since the 1968 demonstrations against the Vietnam War.

As a result of the protests, Columbia University switched to hybrid learning (incorporating more online learning) for the rest of the semester. The protests encouraged other actions at multiple universities. Several antisemitic incidents took place during the protests. Organizers have said they were the work of outside agitators and non-students. Pro-Palestinian Jewish protesters have said that incidents of antisemitism by protestors are not representative of the protest movement. On May 6, the school administration announced the cancellation of the university-wide graduation ceremony scheduled on May 15 and said it would instead make "Class Days and school-level ceremonies" the "centerpiece" of its commencement activities.

UT Austin

A large student and faculty Pro-Palestinian protest occurred on April 24, 2024, demanding a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas War and that the university divest from companies profiting from Israel's actions. In response, the university, under the explicit direction of President Hartzell, requested the assistance of the Austin Police Department (APD) and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), in coordination with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, in an attempt to quell said protests and an "occupation" of the university, in contrast to free speech on campus laws praised by Abbott and the university in prior years. The deployment of multiple police units led to the confirmed arrest of 57 protesters, including a photojournalist for Fox 7 Austin, with several more detained. Charges were then dismissed against 46 protesters the next day, leading to their subsequent release, with the charges against the remaining 11 protesters dropped on April 26, 2024.
