Police arrested dozens of people at pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Yale University in Connecticut and New York University in Manhattan as the war in Gaza continues to reverberate through U.S. university campuses.   The police crackdowns came after Columbia University canceled in-person classes on April 22, in response to protesters setting up tent encampments at its New York City campus last week.   Demonstrators blocked traffic around Yale’s campus in New Haven, Connecticut, demanding the school divest from military weapons manufacturers. Police arrested more than 45 protesters, according to the student-run Yale Daily News.   In New York, officers moved on the NYU crowd shortly after nightfall as hundreds of demonstrators for hours had defied university warnings that they faced consequences if they failed to vacate a plaza where they had gathered. Video on social media showed police taking down tents in the protesters’ encampment. 🔗 Read more at our link in bio.   #IsraelHamaswar...
