After a tumultuous meeting, the AS Senate passed a resolution to condemn Hamas and failed to pass one condemning antisemitism and Islamophobia. KCSB’s Joyce Chi and Zoha Malik explain the strong reactions to the two bills and the Senate meeting itself – support, criticism, and a major walkout.

[Correction: This story includes a statement that Senator Eric Carlson "attempted to resign from the Senate." To clarify, he attempted to resign as Second President Pro-Tempore, but has not yet. As of the November 29 AS meeting, he is still serving in that position.]
