US Green Party Candidate Jill Stein Arrested at Anti-Israel Protest:
Jill Stein, a US presidential candidate from the Green Party, was arrested along with 100 other protesters at a pro-Palestinian rally at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
The demonstrators were calling for the university to divest from Boeing, which manufactures arms used by the Israeli military in Gaza.
Stein accused Israel of committing "genocide" in Gaza before her arrest.
The protest was part of a nationwide crackdown on anti-Israel demonstrations.
Footage shows Stein being led away by police with her hands bound.
The Stein campaign, led by Call, supports students' peaceful protests and assemblies on campus at Washington University and other colleges in the US and Canada, where students are demanding their universities divest from Israel-linked companies and calling for an end to US government financial and military support for Israel due to the war in Gaza.
Hundreds of demonstrators were arrested during protests on 21 campuses between Wednesday and Saturday.
A crackdown on protests in support of Palestinians in Israel and the United States has been met with criticism from progressive leftists and libertarian-leaning Republicans.
Mainstream Democrats and Republicans have encouraged the crackdown, but some argue that it is anti-Semitic due to expressions of support for Hamas among some demonstrators.
Pro-Israel activists have made this claim.
