The Pro-Palestinian protests that began at Columbia University in New York have now spread to more college campuses in the US. From UCLA to Harvard, thousands of pro-Palestinian students took to roads as police began cracking down on demonstrators. Over 200 protesters were arrested between April 24 and 25, at universities in Los Angeles, Boston and Austin, Texas. Riot officers have reportedly used chemical irritants and tasers against protesters at one university. Pro-Israeli students staged a counterprotest next to the pro-Palestine encampment at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Meanwhile, students in the French university demanded the institution condemn Israel's actions, in a protest that echoed similar demonstrations on US campuses.
