Texas Governor Greg Abbott urges swift punishment after police arrested more than 20 people while dispersing an anti-Israel protest that pro-Palestinian demonstrators held at University of Texas in Austin.
“These protesters belong in jail,” Abbott writes on social media.
“Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.”
