Zionists on the defensive at University of Texas - remember, this is one of the most right-wing states in the union
From Socialist Worker (US)
AUSTIN, Texas--Supporters of Palestinian rights organized a counter-protest to stand up to a misnamed "peace rally" called by Texans for Israel (TFI)--and the success of the show of solidarity for Palestine is spurring more activism.
The pro-Israel demonstration was called for the University of Texas' West Mall in the aftermath of Israel's 22-day onslaught against Gaza, which killed at least 1,300 Palestinians, including 438 children. The Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC) organized a counter-demonstration.
TFI turned out about 50 demonstrators, including a speaker from the Israeli consulate in Houston. By comparison, the ranks of the counter-demonstration swelled to around 250, dwarfing the pro-Israel crowd with its miniature Israeli flags and paving the way for an eventual takeover of the stage. more
