Columbia kicks the hornet’s nest with student protests over Israel-Hamas war
Columbia University administrators appear to have only inflamed student protesters against the Israel-Hamas war both on their campus and at other schools after leadership chose to have more than 100 students arrested over pro-Palestine demonstrations Friday.
Under pressure from politicians on both sides of the aisle, university President Minouche Shafik faces calls to resign as hundreds of students now occupy the center of campus in a protest calling for a cease-fire in the war and for the Biden administration to halt military aid to Israel.

U.N. Photo Collection Shows Gaza War Through the Lens of Palestinian Journalists
The Gaza Collective Photo Essay project, organized by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), collected work from 14 Palestinian photographers who were each asked to share one image that captured the devastation of the Gaza Strip over the last six months. We speak with Charlotte Cans, head of photography at OCHA, about the project. “It’s one thing to say there’s a war and it’s horrible, and it’s another thing to see an image of a child being pulled out from the rubble. It really hits you differently,” Cans says of the motivation behind the project. “It was really important to elevate the stories coming from Palestinian photojournalists, who are the only window into what is going on in Gaza.”
