Students across US universities unite in solidarity for Palestinians, demanding peace and justice

Jewish students at a New York City college were locked inside a library during an anti-Israel protest, with protestors banging on the doors and chanting outside. Video footage circulated on social media showing the students inside the library while holding signs protesting Israel's occupation of Palestine. Former media director at the Israeli Consulate in New York, Jake Novak, claimed that the students were locked in for their safety and that police were afraid to get involved. However, school officials denied the reports, stating that the library was closed for a short period while student protestors moved through the building.
