Protests at Columbia University over the Israel-Hamas war have entered their fifth day, with students continuing to demand the university divest from companies that arm Israel. The protests, which began as a Gaza Solidarity Encampment, have seen participation from hundreds of students and have led to over 100 arrests. The movement has sparked similar protests at other universities including Yale, where over 40 students were arrested, NYU, MIT, Emerson, and Tufts, where students have set up their own encampments in solidarity. The protests have raised safety concerns on campuses and are part of a broader call for divestment from Israel by educational institutions, including demands from the University of Michigan for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
