In a recent development at Rutgers University, students who gained attention for waving American flags at a student rally have spoken out about the school administration's response to anti-Israel protests on campus. The protests, which took place on Thursday, saw two groups of students engaged in chants and slogans in Voorhees Mall, New Jersey.

Video footage captured the anti-Israel group shouting slogans such as "Free, Free Palestine!" and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!" In response, a patriotic group waved American flags and chanted "USA! USA! USA!" Two students who were present at the rally and prominently displayed American flags shared their perspectives in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Stephen Wallace, a junior at Rutgers, expressed his frustration with what he perceives as anti-American rhetoric on college campuses. He emphasized the desire for patriotism to be embraced once again, stating, "We're fed up with the anti-Americanism." Wallace also voiced his support for peaceful protests but urged the school administration not to give in to the demands of a minority of students, asserting that they should more heavily consider the majority opinion of pro-American students at Rutgers.

Michael Joseph, the Vice President of Rutgers College Republicans, also provided insights into the campus divide caused by the Israel-Hamas conflict. Joseph, who attended the rally to report on the demonstrations, described the protest as peaceful. He addressed reports that the university met a majority of the protesters' demands, noting that while divestment demands were not met, other requests, such as scholarships for Gazans to attend Rutgers, were granted.

According to a statement from Rutgers, an agreement was reached between the anti-Israel protesters and university administrators, leading to the end of the demonstration. While the university did not agree to divest from companies tied to Israel and affirmed its partnership with Tel Aviv University, they did meet eight of the protesters' ten demands.

Joseph expressed his belief that the students did not secure a significant victory, stating, "I'm not too bothered one way or another with their demands." He explained that the main purpose of the protest was to show solidarity with others across the country and push for divestment, which was not achieved.

As of now, Rutgers University has not provided a comment in response to the situation.

Overall, the reactions from Rutgers students reflect the ongoing tensions and differing perspectives surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict. The school administration's decision to address some of the protesters' demands has elicited mixed responses, with some feeling that the students did not achieve their intended goals. The aftermath of the protests at Rutgers raises questions about the balance between free expression, majority opinion, and the role of university administrations in such matters.
