Probably with good reason. Global politics are divisive. And if you're here on visa, why compromise that for the sake of vocalizing an opinion. Like. Fr. The kids whose parents paid for Uni I can see, but kids on visa shouldn't be fuqqing around like this. Don't ruin your future with the issues of now.

These protests reminded me of the protests to the Vietnam War on college campuses. I'm old enough to remember them. Same protests different day. Authorities felt they had to nix those, too. This is history repeating itself. Could be why the media don't show what's going on in Gaza. This situation is almost identical to that. Universal consciousness when they see something wrong. It's not antisemitism, it's objection to the actions of Netanyahu, not the Jewish people themselves. They have no control over what Netanyahu does.
