More and more organizations are weighing in on the ongoing pro-Palestine college protests that are unfolding across the country. On Thursday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is addressing ongoing demonstrations. Since Tuesday, a group of demonstrators has been sleeping in tents in the quad and they don't plan to leave anytime soon.
On Thursday morning, the executive director of the Committee on American-Islamic Relations in Chicago spoke out about local encampments. "This is a peaceful, non-violent protest that is not unlike the American pastime of similar protests that we saw against the apartheid situation in South Africa, that we saw against the Vietnam War in 1968. This is exactly the sphere in which this is happening," said Executive Director of CAIR-Chicago, Ahmed Rehab.
