In May 2024, pro-Palestinian student protesters at the University of Virginia demonstrated on the campus. The protesters organized an occupation on university grounds in support of Palestinian nationalism in the context of the Israel–Hamas war.
Students organized various protest activities at the University of Virginia from the start of the Israel-Hamas war.[4][5] In April 2024 in the global media beyond Charlottesville, Donald Trump made comparisons of pro-Palestinian protesters at universities nationwide to the hostile aggressors at the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally.[6] On May 1 students established a protest encampment at the university.[1] On May 4, police ended the protest by pepper spraying demonstrators and arresting 27 of them.[3]
