Meanwhile, Renata Nyul, vice president of the communication department at Northeastern University, said there were "undercover" members who were not enrolled in the university and that "violent anti-Semitic insults were used."
The main student organization behind the protest, Huskies for a Free Palestine (HFP), called the administration’s statements "false narratives," and accused the administration of implying that the phrase was spoken by pro-government protestersand use it as a justification to arrest more than 100 teachers, workers and students of the institution.
After the intense protests started this week at Columbia University (New York), other pro-Palestinian camps have spread to different universities in Boston, such as Tuft University, and in Cambridge, such as the prestigious Harvard, where the administration has taken no action against the demonstrators.
Several dozen campsites in universities across the country continue to demand a definitive ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and for the US government to stop economic and military aid to Israel.
