Round-up: Israel-Hamas War Tests Campus Communities - Oct. 11

The Hamas attacks on Israel over the weekend and the Israeli retaliation prompted immediate reaction from students groups both aligned with the pro-Palestinian movement and supporters of Israel.  Campus leaders across the country have also offered statements, although criticism of campus leaders has been high regarding the delay in publishing statements this week. The national media has noted both the statements and the backlash.
