In support of the original camp that was established at Columbia University on April 17, more anti-Israel demonstrations and encampments have appeared on college and university campuses across the country.

Numerous students were suspended the day after the Columbia University camp began, and plenty of other protesters were detained. The New York Police Department raided Hamilton Hall, an intellectual building on campus, after the first camp was removed, and another one was set up. This one remained until Tuesday when another one was set up.

The demands made by the protesters include halting Israeli companies ‘ academic ties to Israeli educational institutions, halting Israeli students ‘ travel to Israel, calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s conflict with Hamas, and requiring the United States to stop arming Israel.

The University of Michigan was in contact with Breitbart News for a speech, but it had not yet received a reply.
