Sorry about my lateness on this topic.
I agree with two overall points raised concerning this topic. First, the on-campus unrest isn't at the 1960s levels of civil unrest, although the comparison is apt. I am the son of an Australian Army Vietnam veteran, so I understand why that socially turbulent era is a sensitive topic for some people.
However, pointing out differences between the anti-Vietnam War movement and the Israel-Palestine divide is also valid.
Second, the right to protest doesn't permit someone to trample on other people's rights or access. Nobody has the right to block a public road or access to a building.
