While the tension between the administration and students of Columbia University in New York, USA, over the Gaza protest continues, student protests against Israeli attacks have spread to other universities. Students are demanding that universities cut financial ties with companies that have ties to Israel. Students argue that companies doing business in Israel or with Israeli organizations are complicit in the ongoing war in Gaza, and state that the universities that invest in these companies are also involved in the crime.
