During a pro-Palestinian rally, students supporting Israel peacefully gathered in opposition.

Florida’s Voice reports that the FSU SDS President told the outlet that Hamas’ actions were a ‘justified response to want to fight back.’”
“It’s unfortunate to see a group of students on our campus promoting such violence and acts of terror against Israel, but thankfully, it didn’t take long for them to be drowned out by students banding together in support of Israel and against terrorism,” Turning Point USA at FSU told Campus Reform. “Turning Point USA at FSU ultimately wants people to work out diplomatic solutions as soon as possible and end the senseless civilian deaths.”
Campus Reform contacted FSU SDS and Florida State University for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.
