Since the war started between Israel and Hamas, pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel students on college campuses across the United States have been embroiled in their own conflict. Shouting matches have erupted, and the University of Pennsylvania president stepped down after criticism of her response to antisemitic comments on campus. But, away from the angry shouting matches, a lot of students are grieving. In this episode, we hear how two students in the Chicago area — one Jewish, one Palestinian — are coping. Clarification: The description of this episode has been updated after the original description erroneously said the president of Pennsylvania State University stepped down after being accused of making antisemitic statements.
