Campuses ERUPT in Protests | Israel vs. Palestine | with @RealLoriSpencer and @MaverickMultimedia

Students are protesting the #Israel-#Hamas war at college campuses across the U.S. and dug in Saturday and vowed to keep their demonstrations going, some universities moved to use police to shut down encampments after reports of antisemitic activity among the protesters. With the death toll mounting in the war in #Gaza, protesters nationwide are demanding that schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the #protests have veered into #antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus. Early today, police in riot gear cleared an encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston while several dozen students shouted and booed at them from a distance. Massachusetts State Police said about 102 protesters who refused to disperse were arrested and will be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct. The school said in a statement: “We cannot tolerate this kind of hate on our campus,” the statement posted on the social media platform X said. The University of Pennsylvania took similar action Friday saying it violates the university’s facilities policies, though about 40 tents remained in place Saturday morning. At Columbia University, where protesters have inspired pro-#Palestine demonstrations across the country, negotiations continued with the student encampment. Though the university has repeatedly set and then pushed back deadlines for removing the encampment, the school sent an email to students Friday night saying that bringing back police “at this time” would be counterproductive. California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, gave protesters who have barricaded themselves inside a building since Monday until 5 p.m. Friday to leave and “not be immediately arrested.” In Colorado, police swept through an encampment Friday at Denver’s Auraria Campus, which hosts three universities and colleges, arresting about 40 protesters on trespassing charges. In France, students at the Paris Institute of Political Studies, which counts President Emmanuel Macron among its many famous alumni, blocked access to a campus building, and classes went online as the wave of protests reached overseas. Tonight on “Strange Bedfellows,“ we welcome back Na’omi Allen from South Africa, history blogger, and proud Zionist, who argues that Israel’s war against Hamas is justified and that the protests erupting at college campuses worldwide are celebrations of antisemitism. Also joining us is Kevin Michelizzi, our Maverick News correspondent in #Crimea, to discuss the “other war“ in his neck of the woods, the $60 billion aid package passed by the U.S. Congress this week, and how this influx of money and weapons will affect the ongoing war in #Ukraine. Tonight’s international panel will include four countries (possibly five, depending on whether you view Crimea as Russia or Ukraine!): Rick Walker in Canada Lori Spencer in the United States Kevin Michelizzi in Crimea Na’omi Allen in South Africa A fascinating conversation is always guaranteed on “Strange Bedfellows.“ Join us LIVE from 9-11 P.M.
