The incident has shed light on the entrenched anti-Palestinian sentiment at the university and across the country, with students advocating for Palestinians facing discrimination and attacks. The students believe their actions were necessary to counter the mainstream media's anti-Palestinian rhetoric and the university's failure to provide nuanced guidance. Faculty members and students have shown support for the arrested students, calling for the charges to be dropped and engaging in a campus-wide conversation about the students' demands.
