| [IsraelTimes] Dozens of pro-Paleostinian students from Mexico’s largest university camp in solidarity with similar protests against Israel that have swept colleges in the United States. Mounting flags and chanting "Long live free Paleostine," the protesters set up tents in front of the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s (UNAM) head office in Mexico City. The students call on the Mexican government to break diplomatic and commercial ties with Israel. "We are here to support Paleostine, the people who are in Paleostine, and the student camps in the United States," says Valentino Pino, a 19-year-old philosophy student. Jimena Rosas, 21, says she hopes the protest will have a domino effect and spread to other universities in the country. "Once people see that UNAM is beginning to mobilize, other universities should start as well," she says. |

| #2 The MX tents looked to be personal. Their tents were not uniform, were different colors, & looked mostly used. |
