CASE WESTERN PROTEST 

A GROUP OF ABOUT 150 PROTESTERS GATHERED AT CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY IN CLEVELAND YESTERDAY (MONDAY) AS PROTESTS CONTINUE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES NATIONWIDE AMID THE WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS. 
ONE THING THAT THEY'RE ASKING IS THAT CASE WESTERN PUBLICLY CALL FOR A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE BY ISRAEL. THEY'RE ALSO DEMANDING THAT CASE WESTERN CUT TIES WITH ISRAEL, STARTING BY PULLING OUT ALL INVESTMENTS FROM COMPANIES THAT PROFIT FROM THE ISRAELI WAR EFFORT AGAINST HAMAS. AT THE START OF THE DEMONSTRATION STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE HAD TENTS SET UP BUT CAMPUS POLICE ASKED THEM TO TAKE THOSE TENTS DOWN. A UNIVERSITY SPOKESPERSON SAYS ABOUT 20 STUDENTS WERE DETAINED FOR NOT FOLLOWING THOSE ORDERS. THE CHIEF OF CASE WESTERN RESERVE POLICE TOLD ME THAT ALL THE DETAINED STUDENTS HAVE BEEN LET GO AND ALLOWED BACK AT THE DEMONSTRATION IF THEY WISHED.
