Arrests as U.S. protesters demand Israel divestment. BERKELEY, Calif. -- Some 79 people were arrested on Tuesday after pro-Palestinian protesters tried to take over a building on the University of California, Berkeley campus to demand the nation's largest public university system divest from companies doing business with Israel. University spokesman Bob Sanders said the arrests occurred in Wheeler Hall after a raucous day that saw pro-Palestinian protesters face off with Jewish students holding a public vigil to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Sanders said most of those arrested were cited for trespass and released, while six faced additional charges of resisting arrest. One protester, who bit a policeman, was charged with a felony count of assaulting an officer and transferred to the Berkeley city jail. "The protesters left the campus and some are now protesting outside the jail," Sanders said. Rising violence in the Middle East has led to a number of protests at Berkeley, known as a hotbed of activism during both the Vietnam War and the student-led drive to force universities to divest from apartheid-era South Africa. Pro-Palestinian students who participated in Tuesday's sit-in said they hoped to launch a similar divestment drive against Israel. "They've got significant holdings in companies that do business in Israel," one protester told a television reporter. "We're saying that's in our name, and it's wrong." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Barry Stoller ?If we do not change direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed.?
