Anti-Israel agitators and a pro-Israel crowd found unlikely unity during a demonstration at the University of Alabama. On college and university campuses across the country, heated protests have resulted in violent beatings, pepper spray and campus takeovers – but in Alabama, two opposing groups remained peaceful and rallied together against President Biden. 'F--- Joe Biden,' both groups apparently chanted in unison, according to video from the scene.
Maven Navarro, the editor-in-chief of student publication The Crimson White, also shared the video. According to The Crimson White, hundreds of students at the University of Alabama gathered together on campus Wednesday to protest the school’s reported financial connection to the Department of Defense and defense contractor Lockheed Martin. 'Hey hey, ho ho, Lockheed Martin's got to go,' the protesters shouted, per the publication.
As students of the University of Alabama, we can no longer stand by in silent complicity as our institution funds a state-sponsored massacre of Palestinians,' organizers said in a news release, WVTM reported. According to the report, the university was aware of the protests and their 'opposing viewpoints.' 'Protests were held on campus today by groups with opposing viewpoints.
No one was arrested on Wednesday, according to The Crimson White. The peaceful gathering comes amid unrest at Columbia University, UCLA and others. The University of Alabama is located in Tuscaloosa. It has approximately 39,623 students enrolled, as it set an enrollment record in fall 2023.
