There have been more than 700 arrests by police breaking up the protests, which are taking place in at least 76 universities with Columbia warning students to disperse or face suspension.

The View host Whoopi Goldberg appeared to fight back tears as she defended students protesting at colleges across the country and claimed it was 'one of the great rights as an American to stand up and say something's wrong.'

Whoopi Goldberg appeared to fight back tears during Monday's The View as she defended students protesting at colleges across the US It seems that the Sister Act star had initially promised The View's executive producer Brian Teta that she wouldn't make a speech. She then added: 'Unfortunately, I see that Brian is side-eyeing me, and he's starting to get annoyed because I said I wasn't going to say anything,' before she joked: 'So he knows me for the liar that I am.'

Mother-of-two Sunny continued: 'These are anti-war protests, and the students that I have spoken to at many of the Ivy League schools are telling me this is a humanitarian crisis. 'Here's what I will say, as a Lebanese American I'm disgusted at seeing Hezbollah flags, a terrorist organization, fly on American college campuses, and I understand that these young people are coming out protesting for peace, protesting for a ceasefire.
