STORY: "We are asking, as is traditional at Sciences Po which normally takes a stand and condemns violations of international law, well they haven't done it for what Israel is doing in Palestine. We are calling on Sciences Po to do that and to no longer be implicated in what's happening in Palestine, be that in Gaza or the West Bank," 22-year-old Hicham, a masters student in human rights and humanitarian studies at Sciences Po said.

Chanting their support for the Palestinians, the students displayed Palestinian flags at windows and over the building's entrance. Several wore the black-and-white keffiyeh head scarf that has become an emblem of solidarity with Gaza.

Renewed clashes between police and students opposed to Israel's war in Gaza broke out on U.S campuses Thursday, raising questions about forceful methods being used to shut down protests that have intensified since mass arrests at Columbia University last week.
