A life well lived. How San Franciscos glide memorial is remembering the late civil rights legend reverend Cecil Williams today, and thick black smoke you could see from miles away what we know about this east bay container fire. We begin with those dueling demonstrations at stanford today. Propalestinian protesters have been camping out at white plaza for weeks. Weve been reporting that today they were met by jewish and nonjewish students rallying against hate. We have learned the jewish students and their allies were asked to leave the area by Campus Security because of alleged heightened security concerns. Nbc bay areas emma goss is live for us at stanford tonight. And, emma, what is happening now and what are both sides saying . Gianna and terry, things are quiet now that the dueling protests and rallies have ended. But at one point there were some 2000 people gathered here around white plaza and there were propalestinian activists with the encampment, you can see the encampment right where im standing. They held a rally and just yards away, simultaneous holly there were stanfords jewish student group, the lithium club. They organized a multifaith community. Rally calling to free the remaining hostages being held by hamas and calling for peace. A message of humanity. And its a message of people coming together to stand against terror and to stand against hatred. We pride ourselves on the fact that it was an interfaith rally, and that it was a coalition that was built. What people are scared about is not just jews blaming things as being antisemitic. It is genuine hatred, genuine antisemitism. After more than an hour of speeches from jewish proisrael speakers as well as hindu, chinese, muslim and iranian speakers, suddenly and i observed abruptly the rally had to relocate back to where it started on the stanford oval, which is just about a ten minute walk. I spoke to stanfords chabad rabbi about why the rally relocated and continued elsewhere, and he told me that Campus Security had spoken to him there and that they said there was a safety concern. And so, to preserve the security of the event, the group moved elsewhere on campus. Im still working to learn all the details about that security concern, and i will be speaking to members of the encampment in just a bit. But i did observe at the end in the stanford oval that the proisrael rally with the Interfaith Community did continue peacefully and without incident, reporting from stanford live emma goss, nbc, bay area news.

President biden warned that the u. S. Would withhold weapons if israel launched an offensive on rafah this morning on meet the press, secretary of state Antony Blinken declined to identify the biden administrations red line with israel. Instead, blinken repeated concerns about israels invasion without detailing how civilians would be protected. What weve seen over the last few months is a deep concern on our part about the possibility of a Major Military operation in rafah, given the damage it would do to civilians. There are more than 1. 4 million gazans in rafah. Most of whom have moved from other parts of gaza. Absent a credible plan to get them out of harms way and to support them. President s been clear for some time that we couldnt and would not support a Major Military operation in rafah. Blinken went on to say that the conflict is incredibly complex because of hamass strategy of hiding under schools and hospitals and apartment buildings, he said. While israel has broken International Humanitarian laws, the civilians killed have been, quote, caught in a crossfire of hamass making and a reminder you can catch more exclusive interviews on meet the press with kirsten welker.
