About :

Many pro-Palestinian student protesters are demanding schools drop Israel investments. The demands vary from school to school.

At Columbia University, protesters are pressing for the sale of holdings tied to companies allegedly profiting from Israel’s actions like Google, Amazon and Airbnb.
