During a recent protest at Ole Miss, a group of pro-Palestine demonstrators were met with opposition from a much larger group of counter-protesters.
The pro-Palestine protesters were chanting and carrying signs when they were confronted by roughly 200 people who were chanting “Lizzo Lizzo Lizzo” at them.
The situation escalated quickly, and the police were forced to intervene to prevent any physical altercations between the two groups.

Despite the police presence, the tension continued to rise, and eventually, the pro-Palestine protesters were forced to evacuate the area due to the overwhelming number of counter-protesters.
Reports indicate that there were only around 50 pro-Palestine protesters in attendance, making it difficult for them to stand up against the much larger group of counter-protesters who were opposing their cause.
