if they advocated for divestment in Israel until the indiscriminate killing stops. Israel can solve this and they will once Bibi is gone.

What is happening in Gaza is urban warfare. If the killing was indiscriminate, the IDF wouldn't be dropping fliers to civilians instructing them to get to designated zones out of Rafah so Israel can eliminate the Hamas battalions hiding behind women and children in Rafah. Sadly, some Hamas have already left Rafah with the civilians, and are popping up in Northern Gaza, shooting at aid convoys and killing Israel soldiers.

As long as Hamas exists, the indiscriminate killing of Israelis by Hamas rockets and Hamas terrorists will continue, whether Bibi is gone or not.

That was a big mistake on the protesters' part. The JCP, who is coordinating these protests, is giving them really bad advice. Why do these students follow JCP?

SJP cheered Hamas' 10/7 attack:

Tensions sparked anew at campuses on Thursday as the national group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) declared a "day of resistance," with demonstrations by its 200 chapters at colleges across North America.

The national group, which advocates for an independent Palestine and says on its website that it promotes "an agenda grounded in freedom, solidarity, equality, safety and historical justice," called the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas "a historic win for the Palestinian resistance."
