Protests by pro-Palestine students have led to the arrest of 26 people at the University of Texas in Austin. The protests, which have also taken place at New York University and Columbia University, demand that their universities divest from companies supplying Israel with weapons used in its attack on Gaza. The Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, has expressed support for the arrests, stating that anti-Semitism will not be tolerated in Texas and that students participating in such protests should be expelled. The arrests have been met with mixed reactions, with some condemning the authorities’ actions and others applauding their stance against hate and anti-Semitism. More information is expected to be released as the story develops.
