ANTOINETTE AND JESSICA. THE SITUATION HERE ON CAMPUS IS CALM AND FAIRLY QUIET AT THE MOMENT, BUT THIS STANDOFF IS CONTINUING AND THIS IS AS CLOSE AS ALL SIDES GET. THE PALESTINIAN FLAG FLYING IN THE ENCAMPMENT. THE ISRAELI FLAG FLYING JUST OUTSIDE OF IT. THE TENTS ARE STILL IN PLACE AND PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS ARE STILL INSIDE THE ENCAMPMENT. NOW, AT THIS HOUR, THERE'S NO UPDATE FROM MIT ON WHAT FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN TO BREAK UP THE ENCAMPMENT. THIS MORNING WE SPOKE WITH A JEWISH STUDENT HERE WHO WAS HERE AS PART OF A DEMONSTRATION IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL. WE WILL HEAR FROM HER FIRST, THEN WE'LL HEAR FROM THE PRO PALESTINIAN GROUP. LAST NIGHT, FOLLOWING THE CLASHES WITH POLICE. AND I'VE HEARD STORIES ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST MY ENTIRE LIFE. UM, BUT THANK GOD NOW WE HAVE ISRAEL TO DEFEND US, AND AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SILENT AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET THE SCHOOLS SHOVE US ASIDE OR THESE PROTESTERS SHOVE US ASIDE AND MAKE US SCARED AND, UM. YEAH, WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. WE HAVE REMAINED SO PEACEFUL THIS ENTIRE TWO WEEKS, AND WE AIM TO MAINTAIN THAT PEACE. THIS IS VIDEO FROM SKY FIVE MONDAY. PROTESTERS BREAKING DOWN METAL BARRIERS TO RECLAIM THE ENCAMPMENT. THE SPACE WAS MOSTLY EMPTY FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS AFTER SCHOOL OFFICIALS IMPOSED A 2:30 P.M. DEADLINE YESTERDAY FOR PROTESTERS TO EITHER CLEAR OUT OR FACE DISCIPLINE. STUDENTS THEN TOPPLED THE BARRIERS AND LOCKED ARMS. THESE PROTESTERS ARE CALLING FOR MIT TO CUT TIES WITH ISRAEL AND WITH ISRAELI COMPANIES AGAIN. SO FAR TODAY, THERE'S NO UPDATE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION ON WHAT FURTHER ACTION WILL BE TAKEN, IF ANY, AND IF SO, WHEN. REPORTING LIVE IN
