@@HardGayMoose Well, my waiting proved fruitful because we had a police crackdown at my campus and I can now speak based on what I saw. The protesters have been peaceful for two weeks, then all of a sudden things escalated. They interfered with the usual activities last week as more than 200 gathered in an important area for the Natural Sciences (they blocked access to one of our facilities), some of them “reclaimed” a lecture building. You couldn’t walk around in that area, let’s be clear. The police came in and gave them the order to disperse- they had around 3 hours to do so. They didn’t, so the police arrested some of them. People need to understand that in a democracy every right has a limit, otherwise it is an anarchy (the right to life is the only one that doesn’t have limitations). It’s very sad that some of these kids got their future jeopardized for an exercise in futility.

Israeli General Mattityahu Peled in 1992 "Anyone who says occupation corrupts was absolutely right and we have been occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip for the last 25 years; this is corrupting us." "It is not so normal that to get American money in order to pay American debts but this has been arranged so the other half is going to put to establish more settlements in the occupied and tho at the time over the years when the United States clearly states that they are against setting up settlements in the occupied territories and they are against it because this is a violation of the Geneva Convention. I suppose because this may create an irreversible situation where there will be no solution to the Arab Israeli conflict."

By the end of last year, *more than 2.6 million people had been driven from their homes* in a country of about 55 million, according to the United Nations human rights office. *More than 18 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance,* according to the United Nations, which says that a million had required such aid before the coup. *Each month, hundreds of thousands of people are displaced by the fighting.* YET, THEY PROTEST ISRAEL
