My university had a Palestine rally yesterday seemingly announced a few hours before. 100~ Palestine supporters, maybe 5 zionist counterprotestors with at least one of them being a uniformed org member. It isn't otherwise a radical university and I'd expect equal if not inverse numbers of supporters. Like I went to it expecting to see a line of zionists shouting and it was just a few large sons trying to hold an Israeli flag straight.

It's lovely to hear a huge crowd chant "Biden Biden you can't hide, we charge you with genocide". Zero hesitation from anyone in the crowd.

At my university there were recently several genocidal phone calls/emails sent to some of our protestors. Literal stuff saying "we hope all Palestinian [slur words] are murdered" and worse. But they literally came from fucking Oklahoma (our uni's in New England). The threats only strengthened our resolve.
