The war in Gaza has triggered demonstrations at dozens of universities thousands of miles away in the United States. There have been hundreds of arrests as police have gone in to break them up and remove the protest camps that have been set up.

Amid the heightened tensions, three Jewish students - with different views towards Israel and its government - share the impact it is having on them; their experience on campus, including their studies. They tell host James Reynolds about being verbally abused, being shunned in class, and feeling forced to change their plans when using public transport.

We also hear from protesters at two Ivy League universities in the US, Colombia and Harvard. One describes witnessing the police raids. They explain their motivation for being part of the protest and reflect on whether their actions might have possible repercussions in the future.
