There were hundreds of counter-protesters, in contrast to the few dozen pro-Palestine protesters.
The counter-protesters included individuals waving US and Donald Trump flags. There were no arrests, but the actions of the counter-protesters – who shouted 'Fuck Joe Biden' and 'USA, and included a white man apparently making monkey noises at a Black woman – have been widely condemned on social media. Police safely evacuated the pro-Palestine students.
