With on-campus encampment, KU students join nationwide rallies to support Palestine

Students on Wednesday set up what they call a “liberation encampment” in support of Palestine on the University of Kansas campus.

In a letter to KU administration, the protesters said they stand “in solidarity with the people of Palestine” as they call for an end to Israel’s war with Hamas and the university’s divestment from Israeli interests. They said they were planning for a multiday event.
