Immediately following the brutal Hamas attack on Israel that killed over 1,000 Israeli citizens, students across the country released anti-Israel statements and organized protests.
Earlier this week, high school students in Texas held a “walk out“ in support of Palestine, during which they chanted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” widely considered a statement of support for the destruction of Israel and its people. This is only one of the many protests sympathizing with Hamas terrorists that have taken place on college and high school campuses.
Columbia University’s Students for Justice in Palestine posted a message of “solidarity with Palestinian resistance” commenting on the “inevitability of resistance as part of the struggle for decolonization.”
Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan shared a thread on X of additional college statements released in support of the Hamas attack:

Do students really support Hamas or are they uninformed on the conflict? After all, Israel declared war on Hamas, not the Palestinian people. If protesters truly want to advocate for innocent Palestinians, they should unequivocally condemn Hamas, which oppresses its own citizens. (RELATED: Gaza Gets Who It Voted For)
The lack of support for Israel and the Jewish people is jarring.
