The lesson from Columbia; The protest is not getting much traction for several reasons.

"Times have changed. In the 1960s, colleges were seen as places of scholarship. People revered the Ivy League schools. Over time, the schools shed their reputations in favor of promoting bad science (climate change) and bad policy (DEI) and outright racism (critical race theory)." DS

. . ."The first reason is nobody cares. Jim Carville had a rant on Twitter and he said of 15 issues people under 30 were asked to rank, young people listed the Palestinian war as No. 15.

Rep.Tlaib, Democrat.

"I am pretty sure Vietnam was the No. 1 issue among young people from 1965 to 1973, when our participation ended. A generation of young men had draft cards which meant we had skin in that game. History says the protests worked but history is written by idiots. Nixon carried 49 states while the antiwar George McGovern carried Massachusetts and DC in 1972.

"We do not have 500,000 troops stationed in Jerusalem. We do not have 5,000. American involvement is all CIA and a few menacing ships at this point. This is not our war. The well-funded communists who organize these protests may as well be talking about the Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict.

"Unlike the Vietnam protests,
these protesters are siding with the bad guys, Hamas, the people who raped, tortured, murdered and then mutilated the bodies of 1,400 people on October 7 — taking another 240 people hostage. You cannot say you are antiwar if you take a side.

"Which leads to the third reason the protesters turn people off: anti-Semitism. America may be the last nation in the world that’s not named Israel that still opposes the hating of Jews. The Holocaust still bothers many Americans and swastikas remain evil in our country.

"Indeed, polls show Americans overwhelmingly side with Israel." . . .

The reality is the protesters are indoctrinated and misled [and financed by George Soros to name one. TD]. Jews do not occupy Gaza; Palestinians do. The cruelty of the Palestinians — whose numbers increase at the highest rate in Arabia — is that they now have the people who were nearly wiped out by the Holocaust portrayed as genocidal Nazis.

In this photo: While Jews demonstrate on behalf of the young woman lying dead in this truck, those with "Palestinian" flags chant and wave to support the men around her body.

The Aspen beat   "Speaking to German news programme ‘Hard But Fair’, Roni recalled: “We saw her bleeding, we saw that she had a head injury. We saw these people around her being happy and cheering and singing that she was hurting.”

Shame on @UCLA. Today masked pro-Hamas vandals bludgeoned and bloodied a Jewish girl and fired chemical solution into the eyes of peaceful pro-Israel protestors, all while UCPD watched and took no action. These extremists have learned well from the Hamas terrorists they idolize. pic.twitter.com/JTau1NfGDs
