Students at the City College of New York rallied on campus Thursday to demand their administration divest from Israel and prioritize students’ safety, amid a mounting crackdown on rights across higher education. Students established what they called the Hilmi al-Faqaawi Liberated Zone, a tribute to the slain journalist who was killed when Israel struck a press tent in Khan Younis earlier this month. Campus security and NYPD moved in to suppress the peaceful protest, deploying pepper spray on the students.
