Fordham University: Police Raid Anti-Israel Encampment, Arrest 15 People


Police raided an anti-Israel encampment at Fordham University this week, arresting 15 people.

As Breitbart News reported on Wednesday, an encampment of anti-Israel protesters sprung up at Fordham in the wake of a similar encampment at Columbia University.

“Tents were seen set up inside a building on the university’s campus as part of a ‘Gaza solidarity encampment,’” said the report.  “Officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD), dressed in riot gear, began a raid on anti-Israel encampments at Columbia University and the City University of New York (CUNY) late Tuesday evening.”
