People are not accepting that property crimes or inconvenience the largest amount of people possible makes a successful protest. It also doesnt take many instances of anti-semitism for people to get dusgusted. The protesters badly misread the room when they thought this type of behavior would be tolerated. Exactly how many Palestinians were saved by this type of behavior?

There are organizing forces with non-students common to all of these protests. The other thing these all have in common is the spilling over into blatantly anti-Semitic acts.
