You missed the nuance of Abbott sending troops to University of Texas. State Troop(er)s were sent by Abbott. Abbott claimed "administrators" requested the response, but none were named, and none came forward, and the university board is appointed by the governor, so not sure if he could fire them, but he put them there. So Abbott invited himself and a large number of state Troopers/troops, and was involved in the tactical planning (escalation). The University did not make any request for assistance, and nobody has been able to find these unnamed people who spoke to Abbott about it. So it is more about political grandstanding by the "Abbott for 2028" campaign, and unrelated to university operations.

As somebody who is taking part in these demonstrations the rhetoric that these protests are antisemitic is so laughably invalid. Every person who enters an encampant is given rules to abide by to make sure the protest is strictly peaceful. Are there bad actors who may inevitably sabotage the protest to justify their antisemitic actions? 100 percent, but the vast vast majority of students will ensure that such violence is not condoned nor glorified. These politicians are making no effort to get on the ground and see these protestors and have a honest open conversation. Instead they are meeting words with calls for suppression through violence and exposing themselves as the bigots and hypocrites that have forgotten about the long history of American protests that have built this country and its most stoic leaders. You may not agree with our cause but I can guarantee that literally no one I know nor anyone that I have met in these encampments, hates Jews. This is propaganda that justifies suppression of free peaceful assembly. In fact many people taking part in the protest are part of Jewish Voices for Peace and no one is refused entry or participation as long as they maintain peace. If you have an open mind and want to support or even critique these protests, then listen to our demands and take them seriously instead of waving us off as students wasting tuition. We simply want a better future and stopping our college money from funding war and conflict is one way of getting there.
