Columbia University protests: Crowds demand school cut ties with Israel

Hundreds of students at Columbia University in New York have gathered to call on the school to cut ties with Israel. The university's president is appearing before a Congressional committee - to respond to allegations of anti-Semitism on campus. Since Israel's war on Gaza began in October, there've been regular protests at American universities condemning the war.

Students who support Palestinians say they've been disproportionately targeted and censored by campus officials.

Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey spoke with one of them at the Columbia University protest.
