May 9, 2024 (San Diego) – Across the nation, campus protests have erupted over the war raging in the Middle East, including a large march at San Diego State University and an encampment at the University of California locally, the latter ending in arrests. 
 
Pro-Palestinian protesters have demanded an end to the war as well as an end to American funds and weapons being shipped to Israel, also calling on universities to divest from investments in Israel. 
 
Counter-protesters have expressed support for Israel and voiced concerns over their safety and comments they believe are anti-Semitic promoted by some supporters of the Palestinian cause.
