The campus protests are a recent news obsession in the US. But did you hear when a couple students (and former Israel Defense Force members) allegedly sprayed a chemical that sent a number of protesters to the hospital?
This was back in January, but it took AJ+ over two months to finally put out a report. There's a reason for that, which we get into in the podcast. This is the definitive account of the incident – at least, until the police say otherwise.
The minidoc we are referencing* :

Note that this episode only plays parts of the AJ+ report, and if you only listen to this, you're definitely not getting the full picture – including some pretty important caveats about the allegations (including the fact that much of this is nearly impossible to confirm, and the statements from the university). For the full picture, you definitely want to see the full thing. So definitely check that link above.
