(New Haven, CT) — Police in riot gear could be seen swarming Yale University’s New Haven campus Monday morning, where hundreds of pro-Palestinian students have been camped out. Cops are warning protestors that they will be forcibly taken from this school and arrested if the do not leave on their own. Anti-Israel protests at Yale became violent over the weekend, when a Jewish student was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag. The protestors want Yale to divest from any interests the ivy-league school has in Israel.
Meanwhile, the chaos continues on the campus of Columbia University, where pro-Palestinian protestors have been camped out for six days now. They are demanding the Ivy-League school divest from any financial interests with Israel. Jewish students at the Upper Manhattan University say they have been harassed by protestors and are afraid to walk to classes. A campus rabbi has told Jewish students at Columbia to go home until they are better protected by the University. Another campus Jewish group has hired security guards to escort Jewish students from their dorms to Passover seders tonight.
