Why are pro-Palestinian US student protesters wearing masks on campus?
Briefly

As demonstrations over the war in Gaza have surged on campuses, a visible tension has emerged between the desire for public protest and a fear of professional reprisals.
Counter protesters and pro-Israel activist groups have attempted to post demonstrators' faces and personal information online to intimidate them, known as doxing.

The public face of a nationwide student movement supporting Palestine is often covered, with participants wearing keffiyehs or medical masks to obscure their identity.
