At the University of Alabama and Rutgers University, tensions flared as students engaged in dueling chants over the Israel-Palestine conflict. At Alabama, 'USA' chants overpowered those supporting Palestine. Similarly, at Rutgers, students responded to pro-Palestine protests by singing the Star Spangled Banner and chanting 'USA,' effectively drowning out the 'Free Palestine' chants. Faculty and supporters at Rutgers created a human wall during the confrontation. These incidents reflect a stark division among students on U.S. college campuses regarding the conflict.
