Competing Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestine Demonstrations Raise Tensions on College Campuses
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, Columbia University closed its campus to the public
Thursday in response to two separate demonstrations led by pro-Palestine
and pro-Israel student groups. In Massachusetts, the names and photos of
several Harvard students who signed a pro-Palestinian letter were
displayed on a billboard truck on campus Wednesday with a banner that
read "Harvard's Leading Antisemites." Some of their names and personal
information were also posted online. That action was organized by the
ultraconservative nonprofit Accuracy in Media.
