Gaza war protests spread like wildfire across US campuses

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid has urged the Biden administration to act as pro-Palestinian demonstrations spread to more American university campuses.

Some of the protests have included calls for violence and harassment of Jewish students. On many of the campuses, protesters have set up unauthorized encampments of tents to press their demands, most notably at Columbia University in New York City.

The White House said Tuesday that it was monitoring the situation at college campuses closely, saying people have the right to publicly protest but not physical intimidation or calls for violence, citing some “alarming rhetoric.”
