    Most American people SUPPORT the police response to these Hamas supporters

    "Peaceful" protest is the key word here. Threats & vandalism is not "Peaceful ".

    Thank you Gov. Abbott. Hamas needs to leave America if they hate it so much.

    Where is their concern over censorship by this administration?
  • He is a great governor and I wish California had a guy like him here.

    This was Netanyahu's response to the AMERICAN lawmaker (Chuksumer) : "IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE, and we are not a banana country that is dictated to by anyone, EVEN AMERICA"... and yet the taxes of American citizens paid with sweat and tears gone to Israel😂😂😂 AIPAC lobbyist money is a haven for lawmaker and officials. Are you going to just watch them have fun with their lobbyists and your taxes, while you have trouble paying your taxes???;

    It doesn't matter if students pay to attend a campus. These institutions are private property. The protesters at UT were planning a 'sit-in' protest in the heart of campus, aka following suite of protesters such as those at Columbia, in order to occupy the campus and disrupt operations. UT saw the writing on the wall, asked students to disperse or be trespassed, and subjugated to arrest by law enforcement, simple as that. It's a matter of American law, not suppressing peaceful protests.

    These schools created this situation. There should be no police response as long as the rioters confine their activities to the campus.
