Police arrest pro-Israeli man after he attempts to disrupt pro-Palestinian students at George Washington University

WASHINGTON DC, US - APRIL 25, 2024: DC Police officers arrest a pro-Israeli man after he tried to disrupt a pro-Palestine protest at George Washington University on Wednesday (April 25). Students at George Washington University Campus staged an encampment in solidarity with Gaza. On April 18, pro-Palestinian students at Columbia University in New York began a sit-in to protest the university’s ongoing financial investments in companies that support the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. The protests swiftly spread to other leading universities across the country, including New York University, Yale, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of North Carolina. More than six months into the Israeli war, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins, pushing 85% of the enclave’s population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine, according to the UN. Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.(Footage by Mostafa Bassim /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
