Jewish UT students uneasy amid campus protests

After a week of student protests at the University of Texas at Austin calling for divestment from weapon manufacturers supplying arms in the Israel-Hamas war, experts say there is "absolutely zero" chance of the university meeting the protesters' demands due to institutional difficulties, potential negative effects on financial aid, and the complicated nature of the divestment process.

So proud of these protests (who have many Jewish students). Keep US money in our country. I really dont understand why we give so much money to Israel when we need it here in the US?!

We basically paid for that wall they built. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you so much for anyone who revelate the truth, humanity and oppression of the Palestinian people and the genocide in Gaza

CBS Austin. Video editor. Use Mono audio when uploading a video. There’s no reason for using stereo audio in a news report.

Uneasy about others expressing ideas different from their own? Are they uneasy because they know what they stand for is morally repugnant? Is that the problem?
College is where you are exposed to a market of ideas. If you disagree with them, then you respectfully debate them. College is also a place where students study, discuss world affairs, arrive at a conclusion then question their gov't and university's actions and demand better from their elected officials, board of directors & trustees.
These Jewish students need to grow up and come to the realization that the world does not revolve around them and learn to coexist with people who hold views different from theirs.
