Campus 'Gaza Solidarity Sukkahs' Spark Controversy and Police Action

Universities face backlash over dismantling protest structures linking Jewish holiday Sukkot with Palestinian solidarity.

Students at multiple universities have erected 'Gaza Solidarity Sukkahs' as a form of protest, blending the Jewish holiday Sukkot with calls for Palestinian support.
Police dismantled several structures, including at UCLA, citing violations of campus protest policies, resulting in at least one arrest.
Protesters argue that these actions infringe on their religious freedom and are a response to university investments in companies linked to Israel.
University officials have enforced new protest regulations following last spring's demonstrations, aiming to control protest locations and methods.
Some universities, like Brown University, have not yet removed the structures, highlighting differing responses to the protests across campuses.
