4. SOUNDBITE (English) Leo Auerbach, University of Michigan student:
“Personally, I'd like to see greater dialogue occur on campus. I'd like to see as an institution the ability to call out all hate speech, Because there is some pretty vulgar rhetoric being cast here.”

STORYLINE:
A pro-Palestinian encampment grew in size Tuesday on the University of Michigan’s campus.
Protesters banged on drums and drew chalk messages on the bricks in the middle of a well-traveled section of campus known as “The Diag.”
They are calling on the university to divest its endowment from companies that support Israel or are profiting from the country’s war with Hamas.
The protest is one of a number taking place at America’s most prestigious universities as students and others express their frustration with the war.
“There's significant fracture within the student body, within the institution as a whole,” Michigan student Leo Auerbach said as he passed by the encampment. “And you're seeing hate speech and pretty violent rhetoric being normalized at all levels.”

This was Netanyahu's response to the AMERICAN lawmaker (Chuksumer) : "IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE, and we are not a banana country that is dictated to by anyone, EVEN AMERICA"... and yet the taxes of American citizens paid with sweat and tears gone to Israel😂😂😂
AIPAC lobbyist money is a haven for lawmaker and officials. Are you going to just watch them have fun with their lobbyists and your taxes, while you have trouble paying your taxes???
