Whatever happened to those Palestinian protests?

87. Various things happened

One was the ceasefire that started in January. The agreement was essentially the framework that the Biden team put together in May 2024, when both Netanyahu were not ready to agree.

The election results itself likely had an impact with the far left suddenly realizing that rather than a protest vote showing Biden/Harris their anger, they had to consider what lies in the future.

Since Trump was elected, it is very clear that even peaceful protests that break no laws could subject protesters to extreme punishment. For American born students, it could lead to being expelled because of the way universities were targeted by Congresspeople like Stefanick and now the whole Trump administration.

There were protests in NYC over the effort to report a green card holder, with an 8 months pregnant American wife. These protests happen even as Trump administration people argue that protests against the government are, in and of themselves, against the law. These people are protesting in the face of personal consequences.

There were some protesters arrested or disciplined by their schools last year, but for the most part they were people who stepped across the line into actions that were seen as illegal.
