(NewsNation) — Students across the U.S. are protesting on their campuses, calling for an end to the Israeli military action in Gaza and demanding schools divest from Israel.
Many of the protests are peaceful, but others have led to arrests and suspensions, including at Columbia University. Some schools have moved to hybrid learning models due to the disruption.
Some Jewish students have said the protests are antisemitic and are a threat to their safety. But other Jewish student groups are taking part in protests and say antisemitism is being weaponized against those who support Palestine.
Since Oct. 7, when the war began with an attack on Israel by Hamas that killed 1,200 people, Israel has been engaged in military action in the Gaza Strip.
More than 34,000 Palestinians have died, many of them civilians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is run by Hamas as it is the governing authority in the territory.
