Arrests Made at NYU and The New School; Princeton Students Commence Hunger Strike

Pro-Palestinian campus protests have gained global attention as students from various universities across the world join in solidarity with the Palestinian cause. The movement has sparked controversy and action, with recent events at Columbia University in New York City making headlines.

During a police raid at Columbia University to clear out protesters, an accidental discharge of a weapon occurred. A sergeant, while checking a locked office in Hamilton Hall, mistakenly fired his gun when switching hands. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. The NYPD confirmed the accidental discharge and defended their decision not to disclose the information earlier, citing the commonality of such occurrences.

Meanwhile, at Princeton University, students have initiated a hunger strike in support of the Palestinian cause. The group, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest, has not disclosed the number of participants in the strike, but their actions highlight the growing momentum of pro-Palestinian activism on college campuses.

As tensions continue to escalate, with protests and arrests at universities like NYU, Rutgers, and UCLA, the global movement in support of Palestine shows no signs of slowing down. The voices of students and activists are being heard as they demand justice and solidarity for the Palestinian people. The impact of these protests is reverberating worldwide, drawing attention to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the need for peaceful resolutions.
