Pro-Palestinian protests have erupted across multiple universities, with encampments set up at institutions such as the University of Toronto, McGill University, and 36 UK universities. These protests, which demand that institutions cut ties with Israel, have disrupted graduation ceremonies and other events. At the University of Guelph, an anti-Israel encampment blocking a fire escape path has resulted in a $20,000 per day fine. Meanwhile, the Toronto Jewish Film Festival commenced despite threats from pro-Hamas protesters. A counter-demonstration titled 'Stand With Students Against AntiSemitism' also took place at the University of Toronto. Jewish university staff in Scotland have voiced their support for students protesting against Israeli government actions. Additionally, a pro-Palestinian protest outside Los Angeles City Hall and the cancellation of a university ball due to protests highlight the widespread nature of these demonstrations.
