Dozens arrested at Yale during Gaza protests on campus

Dozens of protesters have been arrested at Yale University as demonstrations against the war in Gaza rock US campuses.

The Ivy League institution says protesters occupying a square ignored multiple requests to leave.

The protesters have been calling for the University to cut its investments in weapons manufacturers.

Meanwhile, Columbia University students were told to attend classes virtually Monday after over 100 arrests were made during protests there last week.

Protest “encampments” have also sprung up at other universities across the country, including the University of Michigan, MIT, Emerson College and Tufts.

According to BBC News, the ongoing protests have raised concerns about the safety of Jewish students at schools across the country.

However, students on both sides say there has been a rise in antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents.
