UChicago's pro-Palestine encampment began last spring on April 29 and was cleared by UCPD on May 7. The Maroon's Celeste Alcalay conducted interviews over those nine days with an organizer for Students for Justice in Palestine, representatives for Maroons for Israel, a member of Faculty for Justice in Palestine, and other groups and onlookers present at the encampment.

The views expressed are the interviewees' own.
