28 arrests yesterday on campus, including 18 students and at least 2 professors. Kemp ordered the Georgia State Patrol to establish order on campus to arrest 20 members of the Emory community on their own campus?

With more than 33,000 deaths, 70 percent of whom were women and children, now is not the time to issue a blank check to the Netanyahu government. I joined this statement with my colleagues today.
