Los Angeles, April 28 (RHC)-- Students at U.S. universities protesting against Israel’s war of aggression on Gaza have pledged to continue occupying school campuses despite growing efforts by university leaders and police to clear the demonstrations.

As the protests that began at Columbia University in New York spread across the United States, demonstrators nationwide are demanding that schools slash financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling Israel’s nearly seven-month war on Gaza that has killed at least 34,388 people and 77,437 others.

Decisions to call in law enforcement to forcibly remove protesters have led to hundreds of arrests at various universities.  They have also prompted faculty members at California, Georgia and Texas universities to initiate or pass largely symbolic votes of no confidence in their leadership.

But the tensions pile pressure on school officials, who are already scrambling to resolve the protests with graduation ceremonies set for next month.
