Violence in Vermont leaves Palestinian students traumatized

Tensions are high at Brown University following the shooting of Palestinian student Hisham Awartani and two other Palestinian men in Vermont. The incident has highlighted the divide between students who support Israel and those who oppose its presence in Palestinian territories. At a vigil for Awartani, a protest broke out and Brown President Christina Paxson was forced offstage. Palestinian students have accused the university of being unsupportive and not protecting them. Students are calling for divestment from companies affiliated with Israel, and tensions continue to escalate on campus.
