    Thibert-Auclair returned to give a “final warning” and said the university would “consider other options” if protesters don’t comply, including calling the police.

    They joined a wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations held on campuses across the United States who want to see universities divest from companies with business ties to Israel.

    Sasha Boucher, a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party who was not a McGill student but said he was at the encampment in solidarity with Palestinians, said the protesters felt support from the general public.

    Nanre Nafziger, an assistant professor in McGill’s department of integrated studies in education, said she came to the encampment to support the protesting students.

    Health authorities in Gaza say Israel’s offensive in the enclave has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians — the majority of them women and children — and has led to the imminent risk of famine, the destruction of key hospitals and, according to the United Nations, the displacement of 1.9 million people.

    Federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller, whose Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Soeurs riding includes McGill University, told journalists “the right to protest and the right to free speech is excessively important, especially in an academic setting” on Monday.
