Colleges around the U.S. are begging pro-Palestinian demonstrators to clear out tent encampments as commencement ceremonies approach. Demonstrators are sparring over the Israel-Hamas war and its mounting death toll, and the number of arrests at campuses nationwide is approaching 1,000 as the final days of class wrap up. The outcry is forcing colleges to reckon with their financial ties to Israel, as well as their support for free speech. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus. The protests started on Columbia University's campus and have even spread to Europe.
