It seems possible that they're all watching someone who is equating pro-Palestinian protestors with Hamas and condemning them, and all the people texting are fairly disgusted with the university for publicly lying about and betraying their own students in that fashion, and speculating on the motives -- i.e. that in one way or another that person or the university or both will keep the flow of donations going by saying this.
I don't know for sure but that's the feeling I get from it. It doesn't sound anti-Semitic. That's just my take on it without much context.
