US professor ‘lucky to be alive’ in brutal campus arrest

A 65-year-old history professor was 'lucky to be alive' after being 'body slammed and crushed' during a brutal arrest at a Palestine camp at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri. Prof Steve Tamari later put out a statement to say he was 'in the hospital with multiple broken ribs and a broken hand'. Tamari's statement continued: 'Over the last seven months, I've been in agony watching my people in Palestine be slaughtered with US bombs and funding. I joined the student-led protests on Saturday to stop the genocide and support and protect the students.'
