Violent protests against the Israel-Hamas war have reached a boiling point on college campuses across the United States.

Pro-Palestinian protesters are demanding that their universities cut ties with Israel or any companies that support the ongoing war in Gaza.

On Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson obtains eyewitness analysis from US correspondent Mark Stone at George Washington University. They discuss the arrests, the tear gas, and the counterprotest violence that is taking over universities.

Additionally, Lauren Lassabe Shepherd, historian at the University of New Orleans and author of Resistance From The Right: Conservatives And The Campus Wars, looks at how these protests compare to others the US has seen and considers whether action can lead to change.
