Yes let's keep protesting another country thousands of miles away lol. Totally effective when that country has stated they will do what they need to do to keep their people safe.

It is hard to blame them after Oct 7th.
- They’re Americans protesting the American government’s financial and diplomatic support of Israel as well as the investments in the Israeli economy that their universities hold, what are you talking about?
  
  Protests are effective, especially when given enough time. If they weren't, there wouldn’t be such an extensive history of governments doing all they can to nip them in the bud.
- So there's 2 million Palestinians. How many should we be ok with killing?
  
  Apparently all of them, according to Israel's supporters.
  
  None, but we should fight the terror group that hides behind them and within them until they get the hostages back, especially the women and children they still hold for almost a year.
