Pro-Palestinian protests spread to universities around the world as Gazans express gratitude

Student protests in support of Palestinians have spread to universities across Europe and Australia. In Paris, police forcibly removed student activists who had occupied the prestigious Sciences Po university in protest against Israel's conduct in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

German police also removed pro-Palestinian protesters from the grounds of Berlin's Humboldt University after several demonstrators used hate speech.

Competing rallies were staged at the University of Sydney campus, with hundreds of protestors supporting both the Palestinian and Israeli cause.

In New York City, dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested at two universities, while a rally in support of Israeli and Jewish students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, was set up across the street from an anti-war encampment.

Meanwhile, in Portland State University, pro-Palestinian protesters were cleared out of the library by police after barricading themselves inside for several days.

The students from Gaza expressed their appreciation for the support they have received and encouraged their American counterparts to continue their efforts despite any opposition they may face.

"I’m proud of them and I’m telling them to keep going despite all the arresting and all the oppression that they face because apparently these days when someone says something right or does something right everyone stands against them but we should keep going, we should raise our voices because we will win at the end," one student in Gaza said.
