Proud of these brave young students speaking out. I am also very concerned for their safety. UTD get your stuff together and expel of the people that are threatening violence, destroying property and impeding the way of other students.

[@aaqilshariff8381]

Love how two people being scared by a protest is valued more by the university than a thousand others who are in the opposite party. If this doesn’t scream discrimination and elitism, I don’t know what will

[@albransky]

So proud of these students for speaking up! "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me." -Martin Niemöller

[@reekostamerules3988]

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I was absolutely terrified speaking, but it is also really important for this issue to be brought to attention. (I am the guy in the red shirt)

[@GulfbeachMateo]

NOTHING pushed me to the side of the Palestinians than listening to right-wing Zionists shouting things like "wipe them all out!" Or members of Netanyahu's own cabinet talking of using nukes in Gaza. OR NETANYAHU himself talking of bringing anothet "Nakba" to the Palestinian people.

[@Chelltheworshiper]

That’s terrible!

[@globalpuss]

Absolutely disgraceful and ignorant conduct on behalf of these pro hamas individuals. Why havent these people been kicked out of school already?

[@Brynlee.e]

Absolutely disgraceful and ignorant conduct on behalf of colonial settlers israhell. Why haven’t Zionist kicked out of Palestine and go to Germany where they come from 1940 to take refuge when they were under hitler’s oppression

Now let them show the videos of self identified "zionists" saying "wipe them all out" when asked about Palestinian CHILDREN. I'm not Palestinian, Im a secular Hispanic, and while those vile words from right-wing Zionists dont make me feel "unsafe" they DO make me SICK.

[@bargains2shop506]

This is so wrong UTD. As a society we have stooped to the lowest standard due to these pro Palestine folks mostly religious driven.

[@mar25947]

Nope. Religion has nothing to do with it. The protests are about freedom and preserving human life. Not sure how people are missing this....

I dont get it though if we know the original line of Judah is Africans and but not European converts how is that antisemitism? I actaully acknowledge the true line of Judah is from Africa. If you want to convert to a historical African messianic religion there is nothing wrong with that.

[@elamanvetta1685]

This is so disappointing. UTD, do better.🫤 Also, hate speech is free speech. It's the calls for violence and murder that are not allowed. Justice Brandeis quote: *"If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence. Only an emergency can justify repression."* Brandeis

[@ay7055]

True- fallacies and lies should be investigated and all should have free and unhindered access to various sources of information. When you ban outlets because they don’t represent your views you are pandering in lies and deception. Let these people have teach ins and peaceful protests so they can debate and argue their points of view. Let democracy win. Cracking down on peaceful protests as Gregg Abbott and university chairs like Brandies has done shows they want to repress free speech. What are they afraid of?
