Student-led protests of the Israel-Hamas War are growing as the fighting continues. Students camp out and call on their educational institutions to divest from companies they say support the killing of civilians – while the world reacts.

This hour, we look at how the protests in support of civilians in Gaza – and the war in general – are being talked about and how that rhetoric affects the safety of Palestinian and Jewish people.

GUESTS:
Sharon Otterman: Reporter covering education, health, other issues in New York City, New York Times
Eddy Martinez: Breaking News Reporter, CT Public
Jason Stanley: Professor of Philosophy, Yale University
Gregg Gonsalves: Associate Professor at Yale School of Public Health and Associate Professor at Yale Law School
