Propalestinski demonstranti upali u zgradu njujorškog univerziteta i razvili transparent "Intifada"
Na Univerzitetu Columbija u New Yorku, protesti su eskalirali nakon što su demonstranti zauzeli akademsku zgradu Hamilton Hall i zabarikadirali se unutra.
Rečeno je da su to učinili u čast Hind Rajab, šestogodišnje djevojčice pronađene mrtve u Gazi ranije ove godine.

Intifada is an armed terrorist uprising fyi. America take back control of your universities and arrest their asses. And stop the radicalisation of your youth! pic.twitter.com/pYGqdWcZoT
"Predsjednik smatra da je nasilno zauzimanje zgrade u kampusu apsolutno pogrešan pristup. To nije primjer mirnih protesta", rekao je portparol Bijele kuće John Kirby novinarima na brifingu.
Propalestinski protesti održani su prethodnih dana i na univerzitetskim kampusima u najmanje šest drugih zemalja.U Australiji su održane demonstracije na Univerzitetu u Sidneju i Univerzitetu u Melburnu.

Bilo je protesta i na Univerzitetu Concordia u Montrealu, kao i u Egiptu (Američki univerzitet u Kairu), Francuskoj (Sciences Po i Sorbonne) i Italiji (Sapienza). U Velikoj Britaniji , propalestinske grupe okupile su se u kampusima u Leedsu, UCL-u i Warwicku.
Students at Columbia University have occupied Hamilton hall. Today the university president explicitly said to students the school would not be divesting and threatened to suspend students protesting. The last time this building was taken over by student protesters was in 1968 pic.twitter.com/IhoWVYlocB
