Dozens arrested as New York police crackdown on university demonstration

The tension between freedom of speech and antisemitism reached a peak at Columbia University as the NYPD stormed the campus to arrest pro-Palestinian protesters. Clad in riot gear, officers made mass arrests, including those who had occupied the university's Hamilton Hall. Similar clashes unfolded at UCLA, highlighting the ongoing conflict over Israel's war in Gaza.

In a swift crackdown, over 100 demonstrators were rounded up at Columbia University and City College of New York. The clashes at UCLA mirrored the escalating protests, showcasing the divide between pro-Palestinian supporters and pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators. The NYPD's deployment and forceful intervention marked a turning point in the heated demonstrations on university campuses.

While the situation at Columbia University escalated, the LAPD also intervened at UCLA amidst reports of violence. The police actions reflect the challenges universities face in managing protests amidst geopolitical conflicts. As tensions continue to rise, the clash of opinions on the Israel-Hamas war reverberates across campuses, sparking debates on freedom of expression and the boundaries of activism.
