Pro-Palestinian protests have spread through the universities of Europe in recent days, with demonstrations taking place in cities such as Madrid, Amsterdam, and other major European capitals. The protests come in response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian territories, which has escalated in recent weeks.
In Madrid, the first night of the camp for Palestine at Complutense University saw participants engaging in activities such as playing the guitar, writing letters, and cooking pasta in support of the Palestinian cause. The event was covered by Spanish news outlet El País.
However, not all protests have been peaceful. In Amsterdam, authorities recently arrested 125 pro-Palestinian activists for attacking Jewish students with sticks at the University. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation and calls for calm among student groups.
The protests have also caught the attention of international media outlets, with French news organization FRANCE 24 and Argentine news site infobae reporting on the spread of pro-Palestinian student demonstrations in Europe.
As the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate, it remains to be seen how the protests in Europe will evolve and what impact they will have on efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
