Tulane University officials moved to close down the pro-Palestinian encampment on its Uptown campus, seeking the assistance of New Orleans police and forcing out the demonstrators in the pre-dawn hours Wednesday.
Fourteen demonstrators — eight women and six men — were arrested after the New Orleans Police Department, Louisiana State Police, and Tulane University police dispersed the crowd beginning at about 3:00 a.m.
The police action came two days after pro-Palestinian demonstrators, echoing much larger protests at Columbia University and on other U.S. college campuses, pitched tents on the lawn in front of Tulane's Gibson Hall, surrounded them by linking arms in a human chain and demanded that the administration divest from Israel and issue a call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Videos posted online by WDSU-TV showed dozens of law-enforcement personnel, some wearing body armor, surrounding the encampment early Wednesday. As the small group of demonstrators still in the camp banged on a drum and chanted “we don’t need no riot gear” a Tulane police officer on a loudspeaker told the demonstrators that they were trespassing and needed to leave.
Police appeared to individually arrest the demonstrators who refused to leave, the video showed, then formed a line and pushed the remaining people onto and past the St. Charles Avenue neutral ground.
When the demonstrators remaining on the neutral ground refused to leave, police arrested them. The encampment was cleared by 4:30 a.m., according to officials, who said Tulane administrators were not present during the dispersal.

Will Jason Williams or the Louisiana Attorney General handle these cases?
It would make a difference....

Only two were students, 12 were not affiliated with the school whatsoever…
And I’m sure most other schools are the same way.

Were the Jewish American Princesses who mainly attend the school to have a BBC buffet protesting in favor of Palestine?

Most of these idiots are too scared to show their faces! If you're okay and proud about what you're doing, how about let the world know who you are?

This should always be called "pro-terrorist."

Is there a list of all of these investments in Israel that all of these colleges have?
ETA:
I should have done a quick google search on this. I wonder if this is a climate change issue disguised as pro-Palestine

Tulane University will team up with partners in Louisiana and Israel to lead one of the country’s three inaugural U.S.-Israel Energy Centers aimed at improving the safety, efficiency and sustainability of offshore natural gas production.
The five-year, $27 million initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy and Israel’s Ministry of Energy, will, in partnership with industry, work to develop and deploy new and critical technologies for the fossil energy, energy storage, and energy-water nexus sectors.
The goal of the Center is to help propel energy security and economic development, while facilitating cooperation among U.S. and Israeli companies, research institutes and universities.

Oh the irony of this.

It's sad how these students are being treated for expressing themselves. Illegal immigrants have been treated better! This is why we must fight for and defend our constitutional rights no matter what.
