University of Wisconsin-Madison police confirmed a bunch of anti-Israel protesters chanted ‘Heil Hitler’ at Jewish students.

The tents remain at UW-Madison, too. UW-Milwaukee told students it’s against the law to camp on school grounds. Their demands:

Disclose all financial assets and “divest accordingly,” including investments made by the UWM Foundation. The school said the foundation is a separate legal entity and that it cannot control its investments, which are in mutual funds. The foundation can’t divest from specific companies in those funds, it said.
Cut ties with weapons manufacturers and commit to no future deals with organizations that “profits from or supports the occupation of Palestine.” The school said it does not have investments in weapons manufacturers.
End study abroad trips to Israel and research partnerships with institutions in Israel. The school said it does not have any active study-abroad trips to Israel and that preventing faculty from engaging with Israeli institutions would infringe on academic freedom.
Release a statement condemning the “ongoing genocide of Palestinians by the apartheid state of Israel.” The school repeated its call for the release of hostages and for a ceasefire.
