Hundreds more people were arrested at college campuses across the US on Saturday as student protests against the war in Gaza continue.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was among those detained by police.

Protestors are demanding institutions boycott companies and individuals with ties to Israel.

But some Jewish students have complained about alleged antisemitism from some demonstrators.

California State Polytechnic became the latest to announce it would move to remote teaching. The protests have seen in-person teaching cancelled and graduation ceremonies postponed.

    What's the difference between democracy and autocracy if protesters can be arrested in both?

    The land of the free and the brave goes full power authoritarian. If this happened in China just imagine the BBC’s coverage.

    They are also happening at UK universities too.
  • Every major injustice has seen a university let protest, like the black rights movement, again today brave educated souls are being the voice of the oppressed, the voice of reason.

    Very poor quality news reading. How hard can it be to read an autocue?
