At the height of the campus protest over the Israel Hamas war, my colleague Elie Re visited several

colleges to talk with students and to get a sense of the mood on campuses.

There's tension at hundreds of colleges across the U.S.

At Tulane, a fight broke out after someone tried to burn an Israeli flag.

And one of the students that she talked with was a doctoral student at Cornell named Momadu Tahl.

There's a lot of concern that pro-Palestinian students are pro-Hamas and pro-terrorist tactics.

Yeah.

Going all the up to national politicians.

Yeah.

Is that true?

Absolutely not true.

My condemnation is inconsequential. I think it's quite racist,

Islamophobic, that before I'm allowed to have a view on genocide, I have to condemn a terrorist

organization. So this interview is from November 23. This was less than a month after the

Hamas terror attack against Israel that killed more than

1,200 people. When Israel retaliated, bombarding the Gaza Strip and creating this humanitarian

disaster, Mamadutal was among those thousands who protested on college campuses.

In my lifetime, it may never change, but I feel encouraged because at the end of the day,

I feel like we are on the right side of history.

And I can go to beds quite comfortably.

But today, that bed is no longer in the United States.

Tal was attending Cornell on a student visa.
