The initial massacre by Hamas on Israel on October 7th, 2023 resulted in yet another Israel-Palestine war. The war has resulted in over 23,000 deaths, and a multitude of humanitarian crises. It has sparked a strong, passionate, yet divisive international response. In America, hundreds of protests and demonstrations took place. On college campuses specifically, intense reactions resulted in tense consequences. How has the war affected the Chapman student body specifically? Or its Jewish and Arab communities? How has the university responded and what do students think of it? For the past few months, Video and Podcast Editor Lisa Wong talked with students, professors and Chapman administration to answer some of these questions.
