Demanding divestments from entities with ties to Israel by their school, leftist students and community agitators at the University of Michigan aggressively broke through a police line Friday evening to occupy an administrative building.
Chanting “no justice, no peace,” the group mobbed the doorways of the Ruthven Administrative Building and shoved police aside, as seen in a video posted to X by independent reporter Brendan Gutenschwager.
Students moved into the building’s rotunda, where they intend to stay until their divestment demands are met.
The campus, where tensions between supporters of Israel and those of Hamas are clearly on the rise, will cast votes November 28-30 to determine whether or not the student body will officially accuse Israel of genocide.
