    Why don’t we all go join them? (Don’t want to hear your excuses I’m not accusing anyone)

    Maybe we can start something.

      Would love a list of protests happening in campuses near me. Not sure how to find that info.

      Because fuck this nearly century-old ethno-religious blood feud.

      If peace-loving people on both sides got together and decided to institute a single government that upholds the rights of all, this would end tomorrow. But they don’t. Because the reality is both sides would prefer to wallow in their anger and hate than actually solve the problem.

      I’m not gonna waste my time protesting for Israelis to unilaterally impose their way on Palestinians, and I’m not gonna protest for Palestinians to unilaterally impose their way on Israelis. And no one is asking me to protest anything else. So there’s no solution, it’s all just a big waste of everyone’s time.

        Like I said, I’m not asking for your reasons why you don’t want to. That’s on you. The rest of us should go and turn this protest into a movement. Why stop at Isreal? We have plenty of grievances. Let’s go.

          There’s enough that a person could spend their entire life doing nothing but protesting all of them.

        I mean if everyone thinks like this nothing would ever get done and the more of us there are the faster something will come of it
