Well over a dozen were arrested Thursday as Columbus became the latest site of student protests against Israel as hundreds of Ohio State University students, faculty and members of the Ohio Arab community rallied and set up tents outside the student union.

Just before 11 p.m., protestors were starting to leave the South Oval, after nearly six hours of chants, prayers and construction of tents. Police lined College Road South and 12th Avenue, as protest organizers encouraged people to go home. An hour before, dozens of police, including Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers surrounded what at one point had been hundreds of protestors, trying to break up the peaceful demonstration. ---More
