Photos: Tensions grow as pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses continue

A pro-Palestinian encampment has been established on campus at UCLA and was met by Israeli supporters in what is a growing display of tensions among college students and groups in Los Angeles.

The USC campus will remain closed to the general public today, though classes will go on as scheduled — two days after nearly 100 people were arrested as police cleared an “occupation” by pro-Palestinian protesters, and one day after the school canceled its upcoming “main stage” commencement amid ongoing security concerns.
