NEW YORK -- Hundreds of protesters were rallying at NYU in support of Palestinians on Monday.The students took over the steps outside NYU's Stern School of Business. They were also joined by what appeared to be some faculty members.Several pro-Palestinian organizations were gathered in solidarity. They also set tents up in Gould Plaza, which is located along West 4th Street in Greenwich Village.NYU officials said there was a breach in barriers set up there.
'We want to see an acknowledgment from our university that there is a genocide happening and that there are Palestinian students that deserve to feel heard, deserve to feel safe in their environment, and deserve to have a university who calls out the genocide of their people,' one said.'It's definitely helpful to see there are a lot of people from our school who support the movement and are not scared of our school's response,' another said.
