Brown University students join pro-Palestinian protests

brown university students joining schools like columbia emerson tops and others calling for a cease-fire in the war between israel and hamas members of the brown divest coalition tell me they have two reasons for setting up the encampment on campus wanted to call the university to divest from weapons manufacturers and companies affiliated with israel the other is to drop the charges against the forty-one students arrested in december for sitting in at a university hall everything that students about the arrest of four so far it's not about to divest its for the corporation to simply hear us out and to hear a resolution and investment according to the brown daily herald the university notified students at encampments are not an arrestable offense but do violate university policy and may lead to disciplinary action we're ready to face that there's a there's no business as usual during the genocide other students like daniel solomon who helps lead round student organizing committee on anti-semitism says all of these demonstrations are just a way to disrupt campus life really trying to get people to think critically about anti-semitism which is why recent demonstrations have been so counteract as to what we're trying to accomplish i asked him if he and his fellow jewish students feel safe on campus i can say with affirmation that the jewish community of brown is strong it is perhaps stronger than it has ever been
