Not only is it morally imperative to stop this "war", but there's lots of precedent around the U.S. using its power to do just that. It's absurd to say the U.S. cannot tell other countries what to do, when it has for decades. Except for now.

Interestingly, this theory illustrates the nature of antisemitism in its current iteration.

Agreed, and it's further proof that the students themselves aren't initiating the trouble

Thanks for posting. The ICC should be free to prosecute war crimes against any perpetrators.
