Multiple U.S. universities were flooded with anti-Israel agitators on Wednesday, with four schools hosting notably chaotic scenes in California, Massachusetts, Texas and New York. The University of Southern California , Harvard University, the University of Texas at Austin and Columbia University in New York City were all backdrops with varying degrees of hostility and unruliness amid fierce campus opposition to the Israeli military's actions in the Middle East.
See the chaos that erupted at USC below: At UT Austin on Wednesday, demonstrators flooded the school's South Lawn and attempted to set up several tents before being confronted by police. More than 100 protesters participated in the anti-Israel demonstration. The Austin Police Department and Texas Department of Public Safety told Fox News Digital that more than 20 people were arrested in total.
Columbia University, the hotbed of anti-Israel protests over the past week, was also flooded with protesters on Wednesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson arrived on the NYC campus to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and crisis in Gaza. In his speech, Johnson took aim at school administrators for allowing 'threats, the fear and the intimidation of the mob rule to overtake American principles like free speech and the free exchange of ideas and the free exercise of religion.
If this is not contained quickly and if these threats and intimidation are not stopped, there is an appropriate time for the National Guard. We have to bring order to these campuses,' he said. 'We cannot allow this to happen around the country.' Fox News Digital's Bryan Preston and Bradford Betz contributed to this report.
