Clashes over Israel-Hamas war shatter students' sense of safety on US college campuses (apnews.com)

As a Jewish student, Eden Roth always has felt safe and welcome at Tulane University, where more than 40% of the students are Jewish. That has been tested by the aftermath of last month’s Hamas incursion into Israel.

Graffiti appeared on the New Orleans campus with the message “from the river to the sea,” a rallying cry for pro-Palestinian activists. Then came a clash between dueling demonstrations, where a melee led to three arrests and left a Jewish student with a broken nose.

“I think that the shift of experience with Jews on campus was extremely shocking,” said Roth, who was in Israel last summer for a study-abroad program. “A lot of students come to Tulane because of the Jewish population — feeling like they’re supported, like a majority rather than a minority. And I think that’s definitely shifted.”

Tulane isn’t alone. On other campuses, long-simmering tensions are erupting in violence and shattering the sense of safety that makes colleges hubs of free discourse. Students on both sides are witnessing acts of hate, leaving many fearing for their safety even as they walk to classrooms.

dueling demonstrations

lol so what's the pro-Israeli side saying?

"Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!"

It kind of makes me wonder if it's pro- any means necessary?

Is it pro action, even if they disagree with the extreme response?

Is it a thinly veiled dogwhistle support for genocide by say pray for Israel?

Right to exist?

Some mix of the above?
