I can kind of understand wanting to stop Israel from stealing land in the West Bank and so on. What I don't understand is, why this giant wave of protests broke out after 10/7, an attack that objectively and obviously massacred many civilians. That would be a good time to lay low for a while instead of making yourself look ridiculous by protesting against Israel's understandable reaction to the massacre and by calling the reaction to it a "genocide", which is pretty obviously ridiculous to anyone who is even slightly familiar with the history of actual genocides.

Some of them celebrated October 7. Some of them did it on the day. Some of them started protesting the Israeli retaliation the next day, before the retaliation began in earnest.

The Islamic protesters have been 'anti-Zionist' for a long time. It's the basic b-word students that are mostly the dumb, blind followers of a victimisation narrative. They're thrilled to have a dead children fight, no matter the circumstances.

I hope they don't go soft on any of them, though that's what's happened the last year or so. Actually costing these institutions money gives me some hope, though.

I'm gonna go to mcdonalds to protest against the prices of tires. I'm sure that just like these university students, I will be making a real difference!
