it's not who i am, it's what i do. ♪ living on a prayer ♪ did not figure out how to take an uncomfortable moment and turn it into a teachable moment. >> tonight, bubbling tensions on college campuses nationwide. bay area universities stuck in the middle of this struggle to restore order as once again, we see us colleges serving as the epicenter of social change. good evening, i'm dionne lim. while the demonstrations and tent encampments kept peaceful today at northern california campuses,
11:01 pm
the unrest certainly won't be ending anytime soon. it's why we're making it. tonight's abc seven news advancer at 11. it's our way. we like to get you ahead on the storylines you'll be hearing much more about in the days to come. student protesters are urging their university systems to break any financial connection to israel and its military response in gaza. after hamas terror attack today, things boiled over on the campus of ucla when counter protesters clashed with pro-palestinian demonstrators. grand prix cars line. colleges from mit and columbia to cal, stanford and cal poly humboldt are holding actions. over the past week, police said more than a dozen college campuses have arrested hundreds of people. tonight, abc seven news reporter j.r. stone spoke to the experts on the effectiveness of these protests to spark social change. >> college student protests over the israel-hamas war have spread
11:02 pm
to colleges and universities across the country. here in the bay area, protest encampments have been set up at uc berkeley, stanford and sonoma state. just to name a few. >> i think it's the biggest student movement of the 21st century in the united states. so it's very significant. and i think it's, it's a reflection of how how much the war is upsetting, students, and that the feeling that the united states should, should, should be more, cautious about what it does with its military aid. robert cohen is a history and social studies professor at nyu who has studied student activism. >> he says that historically, protests like this have been unpopular among americans over the past 60 plus years, but believes what we've seen over the last two weeks is historic. >> never in the history of student protest have protests been suppressed with so little, rule breaking. you know? in other words, the students at columbia were sitting on the lawn. the students here were sitting on the plaza in front of
11:03 pm
the student, the business school. i mean, in the 60s, you had to do something like take over a building or something like that. >> david cortright, who is professor emeritus at notre dame and visiting scholar at cornell, believes these student protests are growing. but the number of students protesting still does not compare to what we saw during vietnam antiwar protests of the 60s. >> you know, after the cambodia invasion and the killings of students at kent state, there was a national student strike, and there were student protests and more than 800 different colleges and universities here. i think we've seen many dozens. you know, it's hard to know how what the total number is. >> while most colleges and universities will finish their academic year in the coming weeks, both cortright and cohen say this issue does not appear as though it's going away anytime soon, both saying protester arrests seemed to ignite the movement and both point to the republican and democratic national conventions that could be locations for major protests. professors
11:04 pm
believe that these protester demands could be hard to come by trying to get universities to divest their holdings and companies that do business with israel is problematic because over 30 states have laws against that. cortright believes that the calls of protesters being anti-semitic are overblown, but also believes that the students need to do more to make it clear that they are against the initial attack. by condemning hamas, you need to build broad coalitions for movements to really be effective. >> and if you look historically, it's the ones that have the broadest support across the political spectrum, and, and this movement is still young. it hasn't done that yet. but i would hope that they could reach out and bring in, a lot of the jewish students who agree with them at uc berkeley, stanford and sonoma state, we have not seen vandalism or arrests. >> police have also kept a distance in those locations. there's also a belief that university leadership has felt the pressure from politicians and donors to clear some of
11:05 pm
these encampments in certain states, something that the professors believe will only ignite the movement even more. j.r. stone, abc seven news j.r, thank you. >> all of this comes as there are significant developments in a potential cease fire in the war between israel and hamas. abc news confirms the hamas terror group is now sending a delegation to cairo, egypt, tomorrow. negotiations are set to resume in a hostage and ceasefire deal. president biden spoke with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu this morning over the phone. the president urged netanyahu to consider more humanitarian aid to gaza and reiterated america's stance on a possible israeli ground invasion of rafah. >> we have to have a better understanding from the israelis about what they want to do. as a matter of fact, we've had several staff talks with them. we intend to do that more. they've assured us that they won't go into rafah until we've had a chance to really share our perspectives and our concerns with them. >> secretary of state antony
