Brooklyn Museum calls the riot police against anti-genocide protesters in an “unprecedented show of force and violence”
The organizers point out that no “New York museum in living memory has sanctioned the arrest of members of the arts community engaged in a non-violent assembly.”

Pro-Palestinian Campus Encampments Spread Nationwide Amid Mass Arrests at Columbia, <span class="caps">NYU</span> & Yale
Palestinian solidarity protests and encampments are appearing on college campuses from Massachusetts to California to protest Israel’s attacks on Gaza and to call for divestment from Israeli apartheid. This week, police have raided encampments and arrested students at Yale and New York University. Palestinian American scholar and New York University professor Helga Tawil-Souri describes forming a faculty buffer to protect students, negotiating with police, and the ensuing crackdown that led to over 100 arrests Monday night. Uptown in New York City, the encampment at Columbia University is entering its seventh day despite mass arrests of protesters last week. “In my opinion, the NYPD were called in under false pretenses by the president of the university,” says Joseph Slaughter, professor at Columbia University. “The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and prohibitions on the fly, changing them in the middle of the night.”
