Pro-Palestinian protesters at UCLA tussle with Israel supporters
The number of arrests nationwide approached 900 since NYPD removed a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at Columbia University and arrested more than 100 demonstrators on April 18
Protests at U.S. universities showed no sign of slowing over the weekend, with more arrests on campuses across the country and skirmishes between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrators at UCLA, where a tent encampment was set up last week.
