US police stormed a pro-Palestine anti-”Israel” protest held at Yale University on Monday and arrested over a dozen who had been staging an encampment for several days - per the New York Post.

A number of protestors, whose count remains unclear, were handcuffed then put into Yale University buses.

As the police entered the campus, demonstrators were heard chanting “YPD [Yale Police Department] or KKK, IDF they’re all the same…Arab blood is not cheap, for the martyrs we will speak.”

The protest was dispersed and the campus has been entirely cleared now by the YPD.

Over 100 were arrested at a similar protest after being handcuffed and taken away by the New York Police Department (NYPD) last week at Columbia University.
