Pro-Palestine protests: A look at the demonstrations of the war in Gaza that have emerged at US colleges

Student protests over the Israel-Hamas war have popped up at many college campuses in US, following the arrest of demonstrators this month at Columbia University. The students are calling for universities to separate themselves from companies that are advancing Israel's military efforts in Gaza - and in some cases from Israel itself. The number of arrests nationwide has approached 1,000 since New York police arrested demonstrators at Columbia on April 18. (Photo/Agencies)

Protests on many campuses have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups. The groups largely act independently, though students say they're inspired by peers at other universities. (Photo/Agencies)

New York City's Columbia University has begun suspending students involved in a pro-Palestinian protest on campus after they defied a deadline to disperse. College leaders earlier warned those who failed to disband from the two-week encampment by Monday would face disciplinary action. But as the deadline passed, dozens of students rallied at the site.

The University of Texas at Austin on Monday was again the scene of clashing protesters and police, many of whom showed up in riot gear. About 150 protesters packed into a tight group and sat on the ground as they were encircled by state troopers and police while hundreds of other students and protesters shouted at police every time officers dragged someone away.

Police in riot gear cleared an encampment at Boston's Northeastern University on April 27. State police said about 100 protesters were arrested and would be charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct. Northeastern said in a statement that the demonstration was "infiltrated by professional organizers" with no affiliation to the university and that antisemitic slurs, including "kill the Jews," had been used.

A dozen people, including nine students, were arrested Saturday after a protest at University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

A few dozen University of California, Los Angeles, faculty members staged a walkout on Monday, joining pro-Palestinian protesters who have been camping around-the-clock on campus. The teachers and other employees said they came out to amplify the demands of demonstrators. (Photo/Agencies)

About 50 students at George Washington University in Washington, DC, set up a tent encampment on the school's University Yard on April 25. A group of students and professors staged their own protest walkout and marched to campus to join them. The protesters are demanding that the university divest from Israel and lift a suspension against a prominent pro-Palestinian student group. (Photo/Agencies)

After 28 people were apprehended last week at the private Emory University in Atlanta, university President Gregory Fenves on Monday apologized to officials initially claiming that the protesters were from outside the university. Officials determined 22 were Emory students or employees. (Photo/Agencies)
