The governor of Texas says the pro-Palestinian protesters in Austin are antisemetic and "belong in jail." Hundreds of students walked out of classes Wednesday at the University of Texas and began a sit-in protest to support civilians in Gaza who are being bombed by Israel. Governor Greg Abbott came out against the protesters, and called them "hate-filled."
