Hundreds of students and academics have been arrested during rallies opposing Israel’s war on Gaza.
Students in US universities are speaking out against Israel’s devastating war on Gaza.

But the police crackdown that followed caused the anger to spread to other universities in the United States and even in Europe and Australia.
The students say their right to protest is being crushed.
