Dozens of students at the University of Mississippi gathered this week to protest against Israel’s war in Gaza and call for the state’s flagship university to be transparent in its potential dealings with Israel. There were hundreds of counter-protesters, in contrast to the few dozen pro-Palestine protesters. The counter-protesters included individuals waving US and Donald Trump flags. There were no arrests, but the actions of the counter-protesters – who shouted "Fuck Joe Biden" and "USA", and included a white man apparently making monkey noises at a Black woman – have been widely condemned on social media. Police safely evacuated the pro-Palestine students. University of Mississippi: ‘abhorrent’ counter-protesters condemned
