Students at both Rutgers University and the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) were seen chanting “USA” and singing the national anthem Thursday, pushing back against pro-Palestine protesters on their campus.
Video footage posted to Twitter shows students at both schools cheering on their patriotism for America as pro-Palestine protesters have continued to demonstrate on various campuses across the U.S. to demand schools divest in companies connected to Israel. In one clip posted online, students from Ole Miss could be heard singing the Star-Spangled Banner after protesters had reportedly shown up on their campus.
As the students are heard singing “Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave!” the camera pans to a massive crowd with students holding American flags and clapping.
Free Palestine activists just tried to pull off a protest on the Ole Miss campus. It didn’t go according to plan. 🇺🇸
