“This was at Tulane University today,” Ali wrote. “When you wrap your face in a keffiyeh like this you know exactly what you’re doing…you know the kind of image you’re trying to project.

The video shows a pro-Hamas rally with a student holding a Palestinian flag and standing in the bed of a truck. A second student stands up next to him and attempts to light an Israeli flag on fire. A group of pro-Israel students, some of whom wore a yarmulke, ran over to stop him. The students in the truck bed, as well as other pro-Hamas students, attacked the pro-Israel students by throwing punches and attempting to hit them with the Palestinian flag.
