Thousands of miles away from the campus protests that have divided Americans, some displaced Palestinians are expressing solidarity with the antiwar demonstrators and gratitude for their efforts.
“Thank you, American universities,” read one message captured on video by the Reuters news agency.
“Thank you, students in solidarity with Gaza your message has reached” us, read another nearby.
The protesters have been calling for universities to divest from companies with ties to Israel, and some have vowed not to back down.
“I’ve lived my whole life in Gaza Strip and I’ve never felt hope like now,” said Ms. Owda.
