Thank you for pointing that out. The student protests and the millions protesting around the world were about saving innocent lives. But in order to acknowledge the justice and basic humanity of their cause, one has to be able to assign the same value to those innocent lives as the lives of those dropping and funding the bombs. It always saddens me that too many people still can't seem to be able to make that leap. But many others have come around at last and that's great to see!
