Not everyone is paid to demonstrate.
Usually students have very good intentions and they are motivated by the unfairness and inequality in the world. To claim this is a paid show is like detaching yourself from the real world.
You cannot call students antisemitiic because they want the end of the war and they don't agree with the way Israel chose to go after Hamas killing tens of thousands of civilians. I agree all the hostages should be returned but on both sides, there are many hostages in Israeli prisons long before the 7th of October. The students view the Palestinian as the weak side.
The students are not siding with terrorists but with the ordinary Palestinians who are getting killed in their tens of thousands. These two must not be conflated.
As the matter of fact today I think the ICC has issued arrest warrants against Netanyahou and Hamas leaders but I very read there are more to come for members of the Israeli Government and others in Hamas.

You can be on the side of the weak, I'm on the side of the hostages and the weak too, against Hamas. Eliminate Hamas and release all the hostages I agree with a cease-fire
see now I agree with the anti-war protesters, and still be lawful and non-disruptive.
I do not agree with anti-Semitic, anti-America, anarchists, or any other cause bundled on the back of 10/7 and the IDF's response.
MINUS 10/7 none of this would have happened...

We were not siding with terrorists. Siding with Hamas is the opposite of a peace movement. We have a serious problem here with so many of our nations young adults siding with genocidal terrorists. No thinking person is buying the lie that they are not antisemitic and it's clear they are.
To me it always read as strange that people like Hitler and Mao so easily recruited the youth of their counties into their insanity. Now it's happening here.
I learned there were very few authentic war protesters even in the late 60s, early 70s. Many if not most were about being a part of a fad and in all honesty were there for the thrill. It was very different then. In most cases it was polite and those who wanted to get through to go to classes were met with no resistance. After all violence has no place in an actual peace movement.
