Fifty-seven pro-Palestinian protestors at the University of Massachusetts Amherst were arrested by campus police Wednesday night for trespassing during a sit-in protest at the Whitmore Administration Building, where students demanded Chancellor Javier Reyes condemn the Israel Defense Forces' attacks on Gaza and cut the university’s ties with defense contractor Raytheon Technology.
“Our goal is to let the school know, let the administration know and let the chancellor know that we have a say in what our university is giving money to,” said Arsema Kifle, a founding member of the UMass Dissenters, a student group supporting demilitarization that helped to organize the protest. “If we were satisfied, we wouldn’t be here right now.”
The UMass Dissenters group demanded Reyes condemn the Israel Defense Forces’ retaliation against Hamas in Gaza, and acknowledge Israel has been occupying Palestinian land for decades.
