On Thursday, the Ole Miss campus saw another protest
These protests are mostly in support of the Palestinian state, and the protesters taking part want the United States to stop funding Israel, who are currently engaged in a military conflict against Hamas, a designated terrorist group based in the Gaza Strip.
The protests seen on Thursday at Ole Miss looked a little bit different from what has recently been seen in the media from other university campuses.
While there was a group of pro Palestinian protestors holding a "Stop Genocide" banner, there were many others on the Ole Miss campus who appeared to not be protesting and just going about their day.
This may suggest that the Palestinian protests may be becoming weaker in numbers, especially after the recent police crackdowns and raids that have occurred on campuses across the country, most notably at Columbia University in New York and UCLA in California.
But, it could also show that many students at the University of Mississippi are not as enthusiastic about the protestors' demands as students at other universities are.

Which side were the majority of ole miss students on during the Civil rights movement?" said another person.
That’s what being on the right side of freedom looks like, folks." said this person.
