Pro-Palestinian demonstrators, Israel supporters stand off on fourth day of protests at Northwestern University
CHICAGO -- Tensions are escalating in Evanston as hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters take over Deering Meadow, a large plot of green space at Northwestern University . On Sunday, those protesters faced off with pro- Israel demonstrators, and things got very heated at times. On day four of the protest, the number of student protesters has grown on both sides. Support has also come out from the community.
'We are requesting specific demands from Northwestern, protection of free speech disclosure investments and divestment from not only the Israeli regime but just generally companies that invested in the military-industrial complex,' said Melles. But Jewish students like Cesar Ades say they feel unsettled staying on campus. 'Last night they painted and Jewish star and then a huge X around it,' Ades said.
