Pro-Palestinian protests sweep US college campuses | BBC News

Protests against the war in Gaza have been taking centre stage at college campuses across the US.

Activists have been calling for universities to \"divest from genocide\" and to stop investing large school endowments in companies involved in weapons manufacturing and other industries supporting Israel's war in Gaza.

In Texas and California, police confronted campus protesters and made dozens of arrests.
