- It's not the IDF that is killing civilians, it's Hamas and the 'palestinians' that are getting civilians killed in Gaza. They attacked a country that could attack back, and then ran and hid behind 'civilians'. So it's Hamas/'palestinians' fault. And if they give back the hostages and lay down arms .. then no one would be killed. again .. Hamas/'Palestinians' fault. Israel has a right to self defense. If Hamas and the 'palestinians' cared about civilians, they wouldn't have hit Israel and then hid behind civilians. They obviously don't care about civilians, so why should anyone else? And then there is the fact that the 'palestinians' support Hamas and it's genocide mission .. a whole other discussion.

Yeah ... just 'anti war' protestors. Sure. Pfffft.
Useful idiots in the protests shouting 'we are hamas',
and wearing the Hamas clothing. They support
Hamas. And no .. Hamas isn't 'anti war'. They are
anti-Jew and want to destroy Israel.
Protests are just 'anti-war' my backend.
There is some confusion of who is doing what but let me remind you it's not the students who are killing civilians at an alarming rate but the IDF in Gaza. US officials have admitted it already and I see you ignored my earlier post. John Kirby the White House Security Communications adviser said so a few days ago verifying that Israel is committing crimes against civilians. The number of dead civilians are on the tens of thousands and Israel is trying to hide the evidence but it's an impossible task.

What exactly about the overwhelming support for Israel in the US do you not understand?
UCLA has about 46,000 students less than 5000 people participated last night, and not all of those were students. Wereas in the 70s the protests didn't need outside agitation, it was home grown 100% organic students movement, and it mirrored the sentiment of the GP.
Nothing about these college protests does that, it goes the opposite of public perception.
As for the civilian deaths in Gaza, they are about as many as we are seeing in Sudan? crickets for Sudan, noise for Gaza why is that?
Plenty of signs the Palestinian cause failed catch on, it's certainly not at the level of the Floyd protests. Israel is preparing for Rafah it's going to happen regardless, somebody has to get rid of Hamas there is no justification for backing Hamas in any way shape or form. It would be akin to negotiating with Hitler and letting him stay in power after Normandy.

There is no overwhelming support for the killings of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza, actually there is no support for this task anywhere in the world, the main reason Israel has been isolated from the rest of the world. The condemnations are a daily occurrence against the practice of mass killings in Gaza. I don't know how did you come up with the conclusion people support Israel. Nobody supports Israel when they are killing women and children.
The anti-war movement is very powerful and it doesn't include only students but students have the free will and moral obligation to protest against this massacre in Gaza. Likewise many more students and anti war protesters protest all over the world and demand and end and what is coming for the Israeli officials and military personnel , unless someone thinks they will get away with mass murder and ethnic cleansing.

And many more after the US soldiers started killing innocent civilians and getting killed themselves by the Vietnamese.

I appreciate your long post and the information posted but we need to be truthful to ourselves. Nobody supports crimes and mass killings from whatever side they come from and in the Gaza war the IDF has killed many more innocent civilians than Hamas. I don't try to make comparisons between who is the most lethal but crimes against humanity and war crimes have been commited by both sides. Israel has been condemned so many times I have lost count how many countries have turned against them. University students know this and everyone else knows it, unless you are really one sided.
Some students have been arrested but most have been released. I wonder if the cops understand what is going on and if they agree to with arresting students and agree with what's happening in the middle east. I am sure some of them will probably hold the same views as the protests.
