• Students at the University of Arizona planned a Gaza protest on campus, but pulled it.
• They canceled after the university's president condemned the event as contrary to its values.
• It is part of a wave of protest and backlash roiling US campuses.

The pro-Palestinian group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) axed a planned a Gaza protest on the University of Arizona's campus on Thursday.

It said the event couldn't go ahead safely after the university's president condemned the protest as "antithetical to our university's values."

The cancellation was another round in a growing confrontation roiling US colleges over how to respond to events in Israel.
