Student-led protests against Israel’s war on Gaza have intensified across the United States, with House Speaker Mike Johnson suggesting the National Guard be brought in even as police in riot gear arrested dozens of young people at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) and the University of Southern California (USC).The arrests on Wednesday in the cities of Austin and Los Angeles came as students at Harvard University and Brown University on the east coast also defied threats of action and set up encampments in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.The movement, which began at Columbia University in New York last week, is demanding universities cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling its months-long war in Gaza, where Israeli attacks have killed at least 34,262 Palestinians.
