Columbia University has fallen

There would be protests and counter protests but judging from protests all over the world the anti-war movement has become very strong again.

I don't agree this is a loud minority but I will add that not everyone attends protests in our days when the internet exists and can have their views heard.

You put everyone in the same group.
Students are diverse in their thinking and they are free to say what they think.

Perhaps you need to think why american and other ethnicity students want to side with the Palestinians (not with a particular group like Hamas). They side with the weak and the persecuted.

Perhaps you need to think about changing your opinion if the story below is even partially true. From the beginning, Ive said I don't mind protests as long as they are organic home grown and the college protests especially need to come from the students and faculties, all the protests outside the universities have been small peaceful and non-disruptive. This is not the case on campus most if not all have large percentages of outside actors and agitators, and we are hearing now of foreign involvement. Respectfully thats completely unacceptable if a foreign country sponsors this in any way shape or form. It means these protests aren't just like the 60s and 70s. Furthermore, we have the increasing possibility that China is playing a major role here. If true, and Im still checking it is a huge and ominous development, as try and bring back the momentum.

I understand Australia is perfectly fine with China sticking it's nose "down under" but that's not the case at all here in the US.

This would be like America organizing and paying for protesters in China in the early days of COVID.
