“Being here really puts pressure on them to move the process along,” UT Dallas student Fatima Ahmed said. “It also let the people in there know they are not alone. That there are people out here supporting them and waiting on them to come home.”
“We did not provoke anyone when we set up our encampment,” UT Dallas student and arrested protester Mousa Najjar said. “We did not stop or impede any traffic. If anything we got a lot of support from the faculty and a lot of support from students and community members across the board.” “Emotions are high,” Ahmed said. “People understandably are getting tired, but they want to be here to support the people that were arrested as well as the people in Palestine and let them know even though they are tired they’re not stopping, not resting, we’ll be here as long as they have to until all the people are released.”“Especially as a student that was charged with trespassing on their own campus,” Najjar said.
