these campus activists are finished by june. maybe some people who live in cities will congregate there and protest, but it'll be burned out by then. these kids aren't buying plane tickets and hotel rooms to protest shyt

But they do have power. If they represent their peoples actual desire, they vote no on any bills to send weapons or money to Isreal. This is the people saying no. Sometimes it grows. Protests are supposed to disrupt and draw attention. It got yours.

Protests are supposed to effect the people who have the power to change the thing you are protesting about.

I find it difficult to see how setting up a tent outside of your dorm room will make American Congress change their policy on Israel

Then go down to city hall, or march on washington.

Just look like a big picnic/campout on the front lawn of the school. I’m sure zero politicians in cleveland ohio give any shyts about the protest, or have much of any power to do anything about federal policy concerning Israel Palestine.

It's all over the news. They are making it clear that there is a sizable proportion of the population that wants nothing to do with helping Israel commit atrocities.

They don't want you to vote uncommitted or vote for any other candidate that they don't approve of, don't want you peacefully protesting, or even talking about our disapproval of being involved in what happening to Palestinian people. What are supposed to do then?

It’s like this, you peacefully protest and defy the structures that have power over you, the fascist state puts their boot on your neck(as we see here, the police state and fascist goons), displaying their arrogance and violence against people at home and abroad, in turn destroying and tarnishing their image and turning away moderates and those new to politics, still questioning on who to support, in theory cutting down on their constituency.

This is extremely effective against liberals who historically care more about image than policy, so hurting their image is the way to get them to enact policy. Lately, the vote blue no matter who campaigns seem to try and counteract this and play off fears of Trump, but that’s a digression.

This is supposed to enact material change by changing policy (it’s worked time and time again in this country, sometimes being coupled with violence)

And now we see Shawn again using unions to also affect material change. If unions strike in solidarity, capital owners lose money and they control the politicians through bribery, this can force policy change or again, crackdowns

So you see, when people have solidarity, all it takes is bravery and peaceful defiance to push a fascist state over the edge, break the dam and get policy change.

Staying home questioning why people are being brave by doing the small things, is actually how you get nothing done.

Do bare minimum as well as proceed to do nothing because you didn't vote hard enough

It's like they don't want democracy.

You just posturing for daps with nonsense like this.

Some of you are so unserious. It’s become a fad to talk about how much you hate Israel and Americas support for it.

Grow up
