Escalating campus protests are forcing US President Joe Biden to walk a careful line of denouncing antisemitism while supporting young Americans' right to protest and trying to limit longer-term political damage.
As violent police crackdowns and counter-protests greet spreading demonstrations across US campuses, Biden faces sharp criticism of his Israel policy from both the left and right.
Students at dozens of schools have rallied or camped out in recent days to oppose Israel's war in Gaza, demanding institutions stop doing business with companies that support the war.
Protests over the war, and Biden's strong support for Israel, have dogged the president since late last year and divided his Democratic Party. On Wednesday, 57 Democrats in Congress asked Biden to withhold aid to Israel in an attempt to stop a planned assault in Rafah.
