The student groups are organizing the walkouts at Princeton, New York University, and Columbia – calling for a walkout in solidary with the Palestinian people amid the war in Israel.
Several pro-Palestinian student walkouts are planned for Wednesday afternoon at universities across the New York City area.
The planned Wednesday walkouts come as college campuses across the United States have been the site of dueling rallies. Tensions are growing in New York and elsewhere over Hamas attacks in Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza. The Englewood City Council passed a resolution earlier this month supporting Israel, and condemning the attacks by Hamas.Thousands took to the streets in Bay Ridge for an anti-Israel protest. The NYPD said demonstrators become combative and aggressive.
According to the NYPD, at least 16 people were arrested after police said the rally became rowdy. Three others were taken into custody.
