Every citizen in this country should be protesting the amount of tax money being taken out of our paychecks. It's out of hand! Cost of education is ridiculous too!!!

[@kingssuck06]

Students that are at an ivy league college with their parents credit card in their pockets aren’t really worried about the cost of living. Virtue signaling is far more important

These kids are at Ivy League, private or pricey universities and aren't paying for their education. Especially with Grandpa Joe making American taxpayers foot the bill for these brats. Notice these protests aren't happening at colleges where the students are footing the bill themselves? Yeah - they have skin in the game of getting an education. The protesters don't.

It doesn't meet even the most basic definition of genocide. It's a war and innocent people suffer. Which side wants the other off the map (from the river to the sea)? Only one. Which side intentionally kills innocent people and which side tries not to? There is no moral equivalent, unless you want the likes of Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah to run the world. A lot of us do not. The students are either well meaning but misguided or actively wanting a militant theocracy to triumph.

I don't feel the media reports much of the truth, but they cannot and should not repeat the handy slogans of activists. They're designed to push the narrative.

Actually " free palestine" doesnt refer to a two state solution, a peaceful gaza and Isreal , but a seizure of Isreal and complete genocide of the Jewish people by " any means necessary" The leaders of gaza , an elected leadership, slaughtered Jewish citizens for decades. Gaza fully supports hamas...they cheered and applauded them as they paraded kidnapped women and children through the streets. There is no " palestine " .. Its gaza.

Having lived in Beirut, Lebanon for a period of time I witnessed the actions and behaviors of the Palestinians refugees. This was repeated in Egypt, Syria, an Syria which is why those countries will not accept Palestinian refugees today. While the Palestinians tragically suffer, it is the result of their electing Hamas into leadership. Hamas is responsible for the plight of the Palestinians and it should be obvious to them that Hamas's actions have enriched Hamas & PLO leaders at the expense of the Palestinian people. The 100's of millions of dollars in aid they have received should have been spent on improving the lives of the people instead of acquiring weapons, building tunnels, enriching Hamas leadership who live in luxury in other countries. Hamas is an arm of Iran fundamentalism whose goal is destroy Israel based on religious ideology. The only way to free the Palestinians is to get rid of Hamas who imbed themselves within and under the people while inciting a conflict on Oct. 7th. Israel like any other country has no other choice than to root them out the same way the U.S. did with ISIS. Israel has actually been much more patient with Hamas than the U.S. and its' allies were with ISIS. The world HAS supported the Palestinians for years with massive aid which Hamas basically stole from the people in order to further their ideological goals. Hamas will go away when the Palestinian people stand up against their failed leadership. If they choose to support Hamas then they doom themselves. Israel will eliminate Hamas and they along with the rest of the world will rebuild Gaza and hopefully the Palestinian people will resolve themselves to living in peace with their neighbors.
