Tensions have escalated and arrests have been made as protesters continue to stake out areas on the campuses of UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Occidental College, Sacramento State, San Francisco State, Cal Poly Humboldt and others. Some, however, have minimal disruption.
UC Irvine: Students faced off with campus police and were handed citations, police barricades were erected. Students have no plans to move or dismantle their tents.The group posted a banner listing their demands: "End 'violent extremism' funding, promise amnesty for student protesters, commit to an academic boycott of Israel and remove what the group calls Zionist programming."
UC Riverside: all operations on campus are proceeding as usual but blocking access to venues not tolerated.
Pitzer College: Students have been inhabiting an encampment of about 25 tents for five days, tensions between protesters and the administration have remained low. No college or local law enforcement have interfered.
Occidental College: 60 students set up an encampment with dozens of tents. A member of the Occidental chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine said: "We want to be as clandestine as possible to not be interrupted." So far a peaceful demonstration; a commitment to ensure any dialogue or demonstration remains safe and peaceful.
USC: Police arrested 93 people on suspicion of trespassing and cleared an encampment which was reestablished. One participant: "We are all here because at the end of the day, we believe in humanity."
Cal Poly Humboldt: Police arrested 25 people, including students and professors. Campus remains closed.

"We need to enjoy sex," Galloway offered to some initial confusion during an appearance on "Real Time" with Bill Maher Friday.
"I think part of the problem is young people aren't having enough sex so they go on the hunt for fake threats and the most popular threat through history is [antisemitism]."
Galloway appeared on the show with former CNN host Don Lemon — who later told The Post he was inclined to agree with the observation.Well there you have it, if Don Lemon says it's true, it must be.
"It would definitely take the edge off," Lemon chimed in by phone.Later in another interview with CNN Galloway restated what he believes accounts for the astronomical growth in the anti-Israel protests around the world. He claimed that people are conflating what's going on in Gaza with the Civil Rights movement.
"I mean, look, obviously we'll wait for our Leader Jeffries to figure out that solution. But I've said this before, and I think there are other members who feel the same way: The idea of allowing Marjorie Taylor Greene, someone who literally, you know, would let the world burn, you know, with her isolationist foreign policy, who has talked about states seceding from the union, right?Mr. Moskowitz explained that the ultimate decision would be up to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) regarding whether the party would support Mr. Johnson if it came to a vote.
"The idea of letting her sit in the people's house, in the well of Congress, giving a speech, removing any Speaker and having that powerful moment. There is just no way Democrats are going to let her do that. I'm not going to let her do that.
"We won't even let her name a post office. We're not going to let her take out the Speaker."
Comment: The blowback was foreseeable, but the Western leaders - due to their wishful thinking - didn't expect the war would last that long. They thought that Russia would collapse economically and/or a regime change would happen due to those sanctions. Instead the sanctions made Russia stronger with the West suffering a tsunami of dire consequences.
