The conflict is deeply personal for many people, including in Vermont. But for many reasons, the war is hard to talk about.

Organizers with the University of Vermont group Students for Justice in Palestine announced Wednesday they're removing their tents to "pivot our energy."

Students, faculty and community members weigh in on the campus protests across our region as part of the nationwide protest movement against the war in Gaza.

The Hanover Police Department said in a press release that 90 people had been arrested at Dartmouth.

Student protesters have said they will stay at the encampment until all of their demands are met.

On the second day of a student encampment on the University of Vermont campus, more than a hundred students and community members gathered to protest against the school’s upcoming commencement speaker, who vetoed U.N. resolutions calling for a Gaza ceasefire. The cancellation is one of five demands made by the group Students for Justice in Palestine.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized ongoing campus protests across the U.S. as antisemitic. The Vermont senator said it was an attempt to "deflect attention" from Israel's actions.

The first tents went up at the University of Vermont Sunday afternoon. An outdoor Passover seder was held that evening. Students at Middlebury College also erected tents Sunday.

The group that oversees Burlington's sister city program with Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, and Arad, in Israel, have called for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

Sens. Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch, as well as Rep. Becca Balint, say Israel needs to do more to let humanitarian aid into Gaza.
