Thursday’s pro-Palestinian rally on the University of Texas at Austin campus was a stark contrast to Wednesday ’s protest that ended with 57 arrests. Hundreds gathered in front of the UT Tower to try for the second day to make their voices heard.

Homsi says Thursday’s peaceful protest is being bolstered by supporters from across Austin and the state. Jewish students say they do not think Thursday’s peaceful co-assembly would have happened without Wednesday’s show of force by law enforcement. UT faculty are asking for more clarification from university leadership about why DPS troopers were called to campus on Wednesday. Some say they did not see the need for dozens of arrests.

Wednesday’s protest organized by the Palestine Solidarity Committee sought to follow the playbook of the national campaign to paralyze the operations of universities across the country. Like at each of those universities, and confirming our serious concern, there was significant participation by outside groups present on our campus yesterday. This outside group presence is what we’ve seen from the affiliated national organization’s efforts to disrupt and create disorder.
