Approximately 30 protesters gathered in the University of Mississippi Quad to demonstrate their support for Palestine on Thursday, which attracted hundreds of onlookers some of which taunted in opposition with American flags and USA chants.
Jana Abuirshaid, a sophomore public health and Arabic major and participant in the protest said she recognized protests at other universities, such as Columbia University, the University of Southern California and the University of California at Los Angeles, in reaction to the Israel-Hamas war.

I want people to know that we are here, Abuirshaid said. There are people that support Palestine, and there are people that are against the genocide. (Our message is that) even if it feels like youre the only one youre not isolated.

Videos taken by The Daily Mississippian show many of the counter-protesters chanting, We Want Trump, Boo and singing the Star-Spangled Banner. At approximately 1:15 p.m., the protesters were escorted out of the Quad after water bottles were thrown at them and to the School of Applied Sciences. Many in the crowd at the Quad followed the protesters. By approximately 2 p.m., much of the crowd had dispersed.

All that's missing for that bunch of "Trumpatriots" are the white-sheets and pointy hats.

the silhouette of a keg and a bottle of Roofies. The same way O'Reilly recruited Jesse Watters.
