Yale University took action this morning against anti-Israel protesters who have left Jewish students feeling increasingly unsafe.
While pro-Hamas agitators in New York City call for burning Tel Aviv to the ground, Yale campus police in nearby New Haven moved to clear out an encampment at the heart of this week's protests demanding the university divest from military weapons manufactures.

Hundreds of students moved to block off a nearby intersection. The Yale Daily News reported protesters singing “from Yale to Columbia, we shall not be moved.”
The first of the Yale students arrested today has been released and just gave a speech to the crowd, met with some of the loudest cheering I've heard in the last three days.

As police removed the protesters around the camp, a group of 200 demonstrators blocked the intersection of Grove and College Streets, the college newspaper reported. Video from the scene shows members of the group holding “Free Palestine” signs and singing, “We will not be moved.”

During the protests over the weekend, Sahar Tartak, a Jewish student journalist who is editor-in-chief of the Yale Free Press, says she was surrounded by a mob of protesters and jabbed in the eye by a protester wielding a Palestinian flag.
“One of the students, whose face was covered in a keffiyeh, took a Palestinian flag that he was holding, waved it in my face and hit my left eye,” Tartak told Fox News Digital on Sunday.
The removal of the protesters comes after a similar situation involving anti-Israel protesters on Columbia University's campus in New York City on Thursday. At least 108 anti-Israel agitators were arrested as police broke up the encampment.
Another on campus encampment appeared over the weekend, prompting an announcement that all classes will be held virtually on Monday.
