The news is saturated with talk of campus unrest, and yet I can find no new thread addressing this development. I'm curious about the silence.
Are we witnessing Israel-Gaza fatigue?

Student Protests Against Israel Are Wonderful
I like seeing that a significant segment of society is bucking the status quo of unqualified for Israel's apartheid, human rights violations, fleecing US taxpayers, & conducting genocide. Students are often a bellwether. I hope this portends a shift away from USA supporting vile regimes...

Sometimes it falls upon younger folk
to shake geezers in power out of their
complacency with evil.
And not all posts are relevant.
It's very much relevant as to why I've been remaining silent about this whole thing.And not all posts are relevant.

Imagine the reaction if it was largely Jews doing this damage as some of the scenes are reminiscent of January 6th.

There is shame on the Left that there is and has been a tacit support for Hamas and other anti-Israel movements looooooong before this mess! So they may be reluctant to address the elephant in the room now that its out in the open!
I just wish that those younger folk would not simply choose which side they're on. I seriously doubt the conflict can ever be resolved until the rest of world acknowledges that both sides need somewhere to exist in peace -- and that both sides have committed atrocities that must stop. That is the only opening position to negotiation that has any chance of success.

"Nice" stereotype, so next maybe try "Many on the left...".

Thats what I mean, you are ashamed.
Jews have been doing far far far far worse to Palestinians.
Over 34,000 dead so far. Many more maimed. Hundreds
of thousands of homes destroyed. So it makes sense that
we're not seeing many Jews protesting with such fervor.
This is because they've less reason to oppose the genocide
of Muslims.
But some Jewish protestors have been arrested too.
