Clockwise from top:

This is a list of pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses in 2024 since protests escalated on April 17, beginning with the Columbia University campus occupation. As of May 6, student protests have occurred in 45 out of 50 states in the United States, and the District of Columbia, with encampments, walkouts or sit-ins occurring on almost 140 campuses.[1]

Twenty encampments have been established in the United Kingdom;[2] across universities in Australia,[3] beginning with the University of Sydney;[4] and in Canada, including an encampment at McGill University.[5] On May 7, protests spread further on European campuses after mass arrests at the University of Amsterdam campus occupation;[6] including occupation of campus buildings at Leipzig University in Germany, Sciences Po in France, and Ghent University in Belgium.[7] As of May 8, protests have taken place in more than 25 countries.[8] On May 13, approximately one thousand Dutch students and university staff took part in a national walk-out.[9]

Background

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.[10][11] As of May 9, over 2,900 protesters have been arrested,[12] including faculty members and professors,[13][14] on over 60 U.S. campuses,[12] with protests spreading across Europe.[15][16] Some protesters have called the movement a "student intifada".[a][20]

The different protests' varying demands include severing financial ties with Israel and its affiliated entities, transparency over financial ties,[21] and amnesty for protesters.[22] The occupations have resulted in the closure of Columbia University and Cal Poly Humboldt;[23][24] Portland State University pausing financial ties with Boeing over its ties to Israel;[25] and Trinity College Dublin agreeing to end certain investments in Israeli companies.[26] Several other universities made agreements with protesters in order for encampments to be dismantled,[27] some universities' graduation ceremonies were canceled,[28][29] and protests occurred at various graduation ceremonies in May 2024.[30][31] Universities have suspended students, with some also expelled.[13][32] The protests have been compared to the 1960s anti-Vietnam protests,[33] the 1968 protests,[34] and protests against apartheid in the 1980s.[35]

Over 200 groups have expressed support for the protests,[36] as well as Jewish U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and multiple progressive members of Congress.[37] The protests have been characterized by President Joe Biden,[22] former president Donald Trump,[38] U.S. governors,[39][40][41] and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as antisemitic.[42] Jewish student demonstrators at Columbia have insisted the protests are not antisemitic.[43] The police response to the protests has also been criticized by various Democrats[44][45][46] and human rights organizations.[47][48]

List of countries

Argentina

On April 25, around 20 students held a sit-in in the lobby of NYU Buenos Aires, aiming to show solidarity with NYU protesters in Manhattan and calling on the institution to cut ties with Israel.[49][50]

Australia

University of Sydney

"Gaza Solidarity Encampment" at the University of Sydney, April 26, 2024

On April 23, an encampment was set up at the University of Sydney, in the main Quadrangle, underneath the historic clock tower. Students have been supporting the camp by donating food, materials and supplies.[4] Chief executive of the university, Vice Chancellor Mark Scott is allowing the protests to continue, despite incidents such as graffiti that are being investigated, because protest and free speech are "part of who we are", noting other protests related to issues such as the World War I conscription debate and the Vietnam War anti-war movement.[51]

University of Melbourne

On April 25, University of Melbourne students began an encampment on the South Lawn of the main campus in Parkville. Protestors and counter-protestors have been regularly interacting, including a standoff where both groups stood on either side of a moat.[52][53] Far-right political activist Avi Yemini attended a "No Hate" rally on May 3 in support of Israel. The protesters were outnumbered by Palestine protesters, including those from the encampment. There was a scuffle between him and two pro-Palestine protesters, where allegedly they had a microphone shoved in their faces and one of them was pushed to the ground by a bodyguard. An executive of the Melbourne University Jewish Students' Society, which helped organised the rally, said that they were disappointed with Yemini "co-opting" the rally, with they said was "dehumanising" to both the encampment and Jewish students, with him turning a day that was supposed to be about "unity" into something now "clouded by his image".[54]

Monash University

An encampment was started at Monash University on 1 May. The camp has since been regularly attacked, with protesters alleging they have been physically assaulted and verbally harassed. On 2 May, the camp was attacked by counter-protesters draped in the Australian and Israeli flags, who destroyed the camp kitchen and shook a protesters tent whilst she slept. Police attended, but no arrests were made, with 10 people being given a move-on direction. A GoFundMe was started to fund the repair of the damage caused.[55] Following this incident, the Victorian Greens issued a statement calling for better protection of protesters from universities and the police.[56] On 8 May, counter-protestors attempted to storm the stage where speeches were being conducted, with the protesters and counter-protesters separated by university security. Not all interactions between opposing groups have been violent, however, as an Israel supporter and a Palestine supporter were photographed shaking hands after discussing the war.[57] Monash has ordered the removal of "Zionist not welcome" signs, saying they "likely constitute harassment and/or vilification".[58] Police are investigating the harassment of the camp.[59]

University of Adelaide

On May 1, an encampment was started at the University of Adelaide. The University said that it supported free speech and lawful protests, but would not tolerate hate speech or intimidation of students or staff.[60] On May 8, protesters were attacked with fireworks after 11pm, with a video taken by a protester showing fireworks going off around the camp, with the protesters shouting "cowards" as the people responsible for the fireworks were not visible to the camp. Protesters said a similar incident happened on 6 May. South Australia Police said they are investigating the incident, and the university is increasing security.[61]

University of Queensland

Students at the University of Queensland held a rally and set up an encampment on April 29, with a rival pro-Israel camp also set up.[62][63] The pro-Israel protesters have said strangers came into their camp and spat on a sign that said "Zionist and proud".[64] On 9 May, protesters marched to the Boeing center on campus, with protesters including Greens MP Max Chandler-Mather saying Boeing products, including planes, missiles and other weapons were "taking lives". A window in the center was smashed, although police have not made any arrests or received any complaints relating to this incident or any other since the protest has started.[65]

Australian National University

An encampment was started at the Australian National University on April 29.[66] On April 30, Beatrice Tucker, organizer of the encampment, said in an interview with ABC Radio Canberra that “Hamas deserve our unconditional support – not because I agree with their strategy – complete disagreement with that, but the situation at hand is if you have no hope … nothing can justify what has been happening to the Palestinian people for 75 years”. By May 9, disciplinary proceedings had started against Tucker based on the contents of the interview, with her being provisionally suspended until a hearing on May 14.[67] After a Zoom meeting on May 8 of the ANU Students' Association, allegations of anti-Semitic gestures, including a Nazi salute and a person putting a finger to below their nose to mimic a Hitler moustache, were put forth after the ANU Union of Jewish Students put forth a motion to address anti-Semitism. The group ANU for Palestine also alleged they were targeted with obscene gestures such as people mouthing the words "fuck you", giving "the middle finger" and making "gagging gestures". ANU has said it is investigating, whilst Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that there needed to be a "dialling down" of debate, calling for "respect for everyone. Anti-Semitism has no place in Australia. Islamophobia has no place in Australia."[68]

Other encampments

An encampment started at Curtin University on May 1.[55][69] By May 7, encampments had been set up at RMIT University, Deakin University and La Trobe University.[70] The University of Wollongong set up an encampment on May 8,[71] with the protesters demanding the university cut ties with local steel manufacturer Bisalloy, which has provided Israeli defense companies with armour-grade steel.[72] Deakin said it was investigating a staffer that was heard threatening to burn down the camp as well as incidents of hate speech, and police were investigating an altercation at Deakin.[59]

Responses

Group of Eight

The Group of Eight, of which the universities of Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Queensland, Monash and ANU are apart of, has sought legal advice on the usage of terms such as "intifada" and "from the river to the sea", and has said it would ban those phrases if given definitive legal advice that they were unlawful. It said such phrases are "deeply offensive to many in the Jewish community". It sent a letter to Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus asking for legal advice on whether these phrases violate Commonwealth law.[73] Dreyfus wrote back stating that he does not give legal advice, noting the universities were taking external legal advice. He only stated that Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 "makes it a civil offence to do a public act that is reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate people because of their race, colour or national or ethnic origins. A person aggrieved by an alleged act of racial discrimination can make a complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission". Sydney and Monash urged students not to use the phrases, but stopped short of banning them.[74]

Police

Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton has raised concerns that protests could become violent like they have in the US. He said he is meeting with university security. He said the police did not want the "existing tension", and that universities need to consider "how much more risk they’re accepting by allowing these encampments to continue".[75] Deputy Commissioner Neil Paterson wrote to the vice chancellors of the University of Melbourne, Monash, RMIT, Deakin and La Trobe, asking them to "carefully consider the risks" of allowing the encampments to continue, organizers disputing the risk of violence or escalation, saying the campuses were safe and that the encampments were a peaceful protest for the Palestinian people.[76] Universities have resisted the calls for the police to put an end to the protests, with the Group of Eight saying the encampments were held on public land and that police were free to enter at any time, with the universities having acted appropriately to breaches of the law, saying they were "in the business of de-escalation" and not wanting to see violence erupt, as it has in the US.[67] Police are being called "daily" to protests, with incidents of harassment and violence being investigated at Monash and Deakin.[59]

Labor Party

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has taken a neutral stance on the protests, saying he is worried about social cohesion. Education Minister Jason Clare has expressed concern about students feeling unsafe, saying "I want more people to go to university, not less". He said that whilst there was always going to be protests in a democracy, there is no place for bigotry including anti-Semitism or Islamophobia.[77]

The Greens

The Greens have expressed support for the protests. The Greens NSW issued a statement expressing solidarity with the encampment at the University of Sydney on May 2, calling for the government to increase pressure on Israel to achieve a permanent ceasefire, and calling for universities to cut ties with Israeli universities and weapons manufacturers supplying Israel.[78] Following the first attack on the Monash camp, the Victorian Greens issued a statement that universities and police need to better protect protesters.[79] Greens MPs have attended pro-Palestine protests since the start of the war.[80]

The Coalition

Peter Dutton, the opposition Liberal/National Coalition leader, has been sharply critical of the protests, calling universities that are allowing them to continue "weak". He said Prime Mininster Anthony Albanese “really needs to stand up and show some backbone here and call for an end to these nonsense protests".[81] Other members of the Coalition have been similarly critical, with education spokesperson Sarah Henderson and senior frontbencher Michael Sukkar saying the protests should be forcibly broken up, with Henderson saying universities should be fined if they do not do so. Henderson has called for a Senate enquiry into anti-Semitism at universities.[82][65] On May 9, Dutton compared the protesters chants of "from the river to the sea" to "what Hitler chanted in the 30s", in response to Education Minister Jason Clare saying the chants of "from the river to the sea" and "intifada" mean "different things to different people". A Jewish group formed after the start of the war, the Jewish Council of Australia, set up in opposition to other peak Jewish bodies in Australia such as the Executive Council of Australian Jewry with regards to support of Israel and the weaponization of antisemitism, said Dutton's interpretations were "a very bad faith reading" of the chants.[83][84]

Escalation

On May 7, protests took place at Utrecht University and the Delft University of Technology on May 7.[7] An encampment was attempted at the academic library of Utrecht, where 50 people were arrested in the night between May 7 and May 8.[156][157]

On May 8, a new encampment at Utrecht University was set up, which was cleared during the early morning of 9 May,[158] but without any arrests being made.[159] The next day, a smaller protest was also held around university buildings of Utrecht University.[160]

On May 13, approximately one thousand students and staff took part in a national walk-out.[9] University buildings at the universities of Amsterdam and Groningen were also occupied.[9] Protests, some of which taking place next to tent encampments, also took place at the campuses of Radboud University Nijmegen, Maastricht University, Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology, Utrecht University, Leiden University (both in Leiden and The Hague[161]), Erasmus University Rotterdam and Wageningen University & Research, as well as other campuses.[162][163][164] The Radboud University protest was attended by Maya Wind, an Israeli-Canadian professor at University of British Columbia and author of Towers of Ivory and Steel: How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom. She spoke to staff and answered questions.[165]

While there were no renewed student protests on university campuses on May 14, several encampements from the day before were still standing, such as in Groningen and at Radboud University.[166][167]

University of Amsterdam

On May 6, hundreds of students started a solidarity encampment at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).[87] The next day, police cleared the encampment, arresting 169 people,[114][168] including a member of the Provincial Council of Gelderland.[169] Over a thousand people protested at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Amsterdam in response.[170]

On May 8, new protests emerged in Amsterdam, starting in and around university buildings and later moving to the Rokin. 36 people were arrested by the end of the night.[158][171]

On May 9, another protest was organised which again started at the Roeterseiland university campus of University of Amsterdam. Thousands of protestors went on to march through the city.[172] Three protestors were arrested by the police.[173]

On May 13, after a national walk-out, students occupied campus buildings at the University of Amsterdam. Police in riot gear subsequently ended the protests in Amsterdam after "chasing away hundreds" of people,[9][174] and the university closed for two days after the renewed occupations on campus.[175] The Amsterdam protest continued at Oosterpark.[176] The UvA filed complaints against several protesters.[177] One protester was arrested; a criminal investigation was ongoing to determine if more arrests would follow.[178]

Response

The protests were condemned by Prime Minister Mark Rutte,[179] as well as by various other high-ranking Dutch politicians.[180] Mariëlle Paul, the Dutch Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, suggested several times that it is "very questionable" whether the "rioters are actually students".[181]

The University of Amsterdam provided a list of Israeli organisations they work with, which was one of the demands of the encampment protestors. They refused to partake in a boycott of those organisations, which was the second demand.[182][183] Erasmus University Rotterdam followed on May 8 by releasing a similar list as the University of Amsterdam did two days prior, despite no university protests having taken place in Rotterdam.[184]

An "emergency debate" was called on 10 May by the Government of Amsterdam in response to the police intervention earlier during the first protest on 6 May. Despite criticism, mayor Femke Halsema stood by her decision to let police intervene during the demonstration.[185] Around 250 protestors demonstrated during the meeting outside the Stopera, where the meeting was held, dubbing this the "fifth day of student protests".[173] The same day, the Central Student Council of the University of Amsterdam called for the UvA board to resign after the board allowed for police to intervene during the first protest.[173]

On 11 May, the "sixth day of protests",[186] a pro-Palestine protest in Amsterdam attracted over 10,000 people. Many demonstrators denounced the police action earlier that week. Some protesters also called for Halsema to resign.[187] Also on 11 May, the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague announced their plans to terminate the student exchange programme with the Israeli Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. This was done in response to heavy student criticism. By doing so, the KABK was the first Dutch educational institution to cancel an agreement with an Israeli organisation.[187]

Jouke de Vries, interim chairman of the Universiteiten van Nederland, said in an interview during an episode with Buitenhof that the organisation was currently working on a new "demonstration protocol".[188] Examples of measures being discussed included overnight stays not being allowed in university buildings and protesters with whom negotiations are taking place having to identify themselves. This was supported by Robbert Dijkgraaf, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and tenured professor at the UvA.[174] The Dutch Student Union was critical, and asked to be part of the discussions.[162] The Universiteiten van Nederland later released a joint protocol.[189]

Despite negotiations having taken place the week before, the UvA board later made it known no longer to be talking to activists at all.[190] Other universities were stilling willing to negotiate with protesters.[191]

The Dutch Association of Journalists (Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten [nl]) has at multiple times expressed concerns regarding the press freedom and safety at the demonstrations. Journalists were repeatedly denied entry at various demonstrations and were asked to leave. According to the protesters, this is to protect the identities and safety of those protesting.[192][193]

Opinions in the general population were more diverse. An opinion panel research by EenVandaag published on 10 May, including 16,036 people (of which 560 students), showed that a majority of the panel members (83%) disagreed with the methods protestors used, and 75% agreed with the police intervention that followed. A smaller majority (62%) also disagreed with the protestors' demands. However, students were much more likely to agree with the protestors' goals and demands (63%), and 43% of student panel members agreed with the way the demonstrations were held.[194]

New Zealand

On May 1, pro-Palestinian protesters led by staged a protest outside the University of Auckland. Though the protesters had initially planned to camp overnight, organiser Layan Khalil, co-president of the University of Auckland's Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, called off the encampment after the Vice-Chancellor sent an email stating the university would allow protests and rallies but not overnight encampments. Police and university security monitored the protest.[195]

South Korea

A sit-in was held at Seoul National University on May 8.[196]

Spain

Encampment at the University of the Basque Country, May 10

On April 29, more than 60 students and faculty members of the University of Valencia set up an encampment inside a faculty building. This was done with the knowledge of the faculty's dean, although she denies giving consent. Protesters called on their institution to cut ties with Israeli universities, and stated their intention to eventually move the encampment outside.[197]

Another encampment was set up at the University of Barcelona[198] and the University of the Basque Country on May 6.[6] On May 8, the University of Barcelona Senate voted to cut all ties with Israel.[199]

United Kingdom

As of February and March, similar protests and calls for divestment had already been occurring at Goldsmiths, University of London,[203][204] the University of Leeds,[205][206] and the University of Bristol.[207][208] After a campaign from students, the University of York announced on 27 April it "no longer holds investments in companies that primarily make or sell weapons and defence-related products or services".[209][210]

On the evening of April 19, students from the University of Warwick occupied the campus piazza.[211] On April 22, students from the University of Leicester Palestine Society held a protest.[52] On April 26, a rally was held by students of University College London (UCL) on campus,[211] though they had been campaigning for months. UCL Action for Palestine won a meeting with senior members of university's management, also on 26 April, to discuss divestment and propose aiding Palestinian students whose universities had been destroyed.[212]

On May 1, encampments were established at the University of Bristol, the University of Leeds, the University of Manchester, and Newcastle University, as well as a joint one between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University.[213][210][214] On May 3, protesters set up an encampment at University College, London. Protesters also occupied the library at Goldsmiths, University of London.[215]

On May 3, Goldsmiths agreed to the protester's demands, naming a building after Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, review the University's policy regarding the IHRA working definition of antisemitism, and to erect an installation on campus memorializing the protest.[216]

The following week, protesters set up encampments at the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge,[217] School of Oriental and African Studies, and University of Liverpool on May 6.[218] In Scotland, encampments were also established at Aberdeen University and the University of Edinburgh.[219][218] On May 7, protesters at Queen's University Belfast staged a sit-in in support of Palestine. Among other demands, protesters called for Hillary Clinton to be removed as the university's chancellor.[220][221] On May 8, Abercromby Square at the University of Liverpool was occupied and unofficially renamed after the murdered Gazan poet Refaat Alareer.[222] On May 9, protesters at Lancaster University set up an encampment on campus.[223]

Response

On May 9, with encampments taking place at institutions and concerns over what the president of the Union of Jewish Students described as rising antisemitism on campuses, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak held a meeting with vice chancellors of higher education institutions.[224] In response, academics accused Sunak of "scaremongering". According to The Guardian, "Vice-chancellors insist they have no desire to quell challenge or stop difficult discussions on their campuses, arguing that this is part of the core purpose of a university". Vice-chancellor of the University of the West of England, Steve West, said there "was no evidence" that UK protests were "getting out of hand", and called on the government to avoid inflaming the situation.[225] The president of advocacy group Universities UK, Dame Sally Mapstone, said universities "may need to take action" but that there "should be no presumption universities would clear protest encampments".[226]

As of May 11, an increasing number of academics have supported students’ demands and expressed solidarity with the protests. Hundreds of university employees, including 300 at Cambridge University,[227] have signed open letters condemning their universities financial ties with companies supplying arms to Israel.[225] The New York Times described authorities as a taking a more "permissive approach" to protests on campuses, with an emphasis on facilitating free speech, while British polling indicate that "the majority of people believe Israel should call a cease-fire".[227]

On May 13, after protesters set up an encampment at Birmingham University, they were ordered to leave the premises by the university who described the occupation as trespassing.[228] According to The Telegraph, the was the first time one of the 20 student encampments in the UK has been ordered to disperse,[2] with protesters claiming they have been "threatened with police action".[228]

Universities in the United States with Israel–Hamas war protests in April 2024. Columbia University is marked in red. Other colleges that had encampments are marked in green, and non-encampment protests are marked in blue.

Demonstrations initially spread in the United States on April 22, when students at several universities on the East Coast—including New York University, Yale University, Emerson College, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Tufts University—began occupying campuses, as well as experiencing mass arrests in New York and at Yale.[229] Protests emerged throughout the U.S. in the following days, with protest camps established on over 40 campuses.[230] On April 25, mass arrests occurred at Emerson College, the University of Southern California, and the University of Texas at Austin,[231]

A continued crackdown on April 27 led to approximately 275 arrests at Washington, Northeastern, Arizona State, and Indiana University Bloomington.[232][233] Several professors were among those detained at Emory University,[234] and at Washington University in St. Louis, university employees were arrested.[232] On April 28, counter-protests were held at MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).[235] On April 30, approximately 300 protesters were arrested at Columbia University and City College of New York;[236] and pro-Israel counter-protesters attacked the UCLA campus occupation,[237][238][239] The following day over 200 arrests were made at UCLA.[240] Hundreds of arrests ensued in May, notably[b] at Art Institute of Chicago, University of California, San Diego and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.[241]
