Truthfully, I can cringe at the situations the innocent Gazans face, while understanding, Hamas, the authors of 10/7, have to be eliminated before Gaza can be anything else. Hamas is a cancer in their society, there will likely be others, but at the very least Hamas needs to cease to exist, considering Hamas continues to steal aid trucks from innocent Gazans, and lob mortars at US personnel building a HUMANITARIAN pier to delivery aid, it is far from accomplished.
Since we are discussing the horrors of genocide and imperialism you've yet to comment on Sudan, why is that?
How are Sudan's atrocities off-limits for the movement?
Not one sign or chant for the Sudanese, yet the movement includes many other causes and concerns, does it not?
Are the Sudanese less human than the Gazans, respectfully Sudan has 20 times the population of Gaza?
War in Sudan is a crisis of epic proportions as atrocities abound

The 60s and 70s protests were about many issues including civil rights for all true or false?
These protests have a huge element of racism and talk of the elimination of jews and Israel true or false?
Do you want Hamas to survive?
You do want the hostages returned?
The thread is about the protests here in the US not "all over the world".
They are nowhere near the size, scope, or disruptively that the 60s and 70s protests and RIOTS were. Because they are not generally supported by the American GP, just the 10-15% extremists for all causes.
The US for better or worse plays to the beat of a different drum than any other country. Always has and hopefully always will, ironic how we loath imperialism yet we are supposed to listen to the countries whose histories are soaked in monarchies and hyper-imperialism as if now these countries have now figured it out.
Lastly here is the quotes from the NPR article about the differences in just protests for Columbia, please note the groups are all students very few outside agitators, why? because they were not needed. The students themselves were enough of a protest, that is a very important distinction.

You need links or articles for what exactly??
People are against the mass killings of civilians in wars and the student protests are a testimony to this. Not to mention what is happening around the world where Israel has lost all support they may had at the beginning. Posting some links doesn't change what happens in the real world, and that's massive demonstrations against Israel. Unless they haven't happened and we are all dreaming.
Are you saying the polls show Americans or Australians or anyone else, agree with the mass killings of civilians in Gaza for which US officials have verified there are too many. Do you think there aren't any civilian deaths or maybe the number is exaggerated?
