Campus Reactions: Students' Responses to Israel-Hamas Conflict

Students at a pro-Palestinian vigil held at George Washington University wore masks and refused to reveal their identities while praising Hamas' surprise attack that killed hundreds of Israeli civilians. The vigil organizer spoke of honoring the martyrs and the struggle for liberation, while attendees chanted slogans and held signs in support of Palestine. The event organizers instructed the crowd not to speak to the media, and the vigil leaders declined interview requests. Similar pro-Palestine events are being organized by Students for Justice in Palestine chapters at colleges across the country.
