Students hold pro-Palestine rally, met with counter-protestors at UNLV
A “Walk Out For Palestine” rally on UNLV’s campus was met with protesters and counter-protestors alike Wednesday morning.
The rally began at 11:00 a.m. and is currently ongoing. Protesters were seen holding both Palestinian flags and signs, while counter-protestors held Israeli flags and Israeli-American Council signs.
A post from UNLV’s Student For Justice in Palestine, which organized the rally, states, “We DEMAND that our university DISCLOSES and DIVESTS!”
Counter-protesters could be seen holding signs, saying, “Israel = Peace, Hamas = Violence,” and “Educate, Don’t Indoctrinate!”
Similar protests continue to pop up across the country, including tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies that support the war in Gaza. The ensuing police crackdowns echoed actions decades ago against a much larger protest movement protesting the Vietnam War.
There have been confrontations with law enforcement and more than 1,000 arrests. In rare instances, university officials and protest leaders struck agreements to restrict the disruption to campus life and upcoming commencement ceremonies.
