Because there are always types that believe college kids should believe a certain thing and behave a certain way. And if they don't, the force of the state should be used against them even if they only thing they are doing is freely assembling.

And I will go back to when this whole thing started. Despite what Douchey said, there was a real risk to Israel overreacting. They are doing long term damage to their relationship with their most important ally. No one under the age of ...45?...knows a time when Israel did not have the upper hand in this conflict.  (I think I am being generous here.)  They see what is happening in Gaza and in the occupied West Bank and wondering who the good guys are here.

Being "online" isn't always a good thing.

But younger folks are more online than older. Older tend to get media information from cable news, newspaper, maybe Facebook.

Younger get it from insta, tiktok, Twitter, blogs, podcasts.

Most of the horrendous videos/pictures/first hand accounts I've encountered regarding gaza have been on the young spectrum.

It's no wonder the young have a very different opinion of this conflict.

For the sake of the dental school, sure hope so.  Then again, he's pals with Keefe and was fine with Keefe doxxing posters

I don't think so, but it makes sense given the out of control Dentist crime wave at the moment.

First hand account, the UPenn campus includes students from Penn, Temple, and Drexel along with outsiders. Peaceful Muslim service at one time, shouting intifada and other rhyming chants another. No violence from my account, not saying it doesn't exist at all. Jewish families/students are both scared and supportive, the most vocal in my circle are afraid, angry, and disgusted with the handling of the situation by Penn admin.

My personal opinion is we have to allow the protests, that is nonnegotiable. We can enforce campus policy and safety measures, and we should absolutely protect Jewish students from harm. We should absolutely protect non-Jewish students from harm.

I recently listened to a podcast called Philosophize This Episode 200: Postmodern Subject and "Ideology without Ideology." I found it thought provoking as it pertains to how we might view the Israel/Palestine conflict through our need to allow for individuality while also trying to find universality. It discusses how we want to be humble, open, inclusive, but are we really just narcissists. It doesn't directly speak on the conflict, but it is relevant and worth a listen.

As with many things I think its a matter of bad apples spoiling the bunch for a lot of this.  And it gives ammo to both sides.  Protests/gatherings are largely peaceful, legal, etc...  But there is more than a few bad actors either on the fringes or in the mix of them giving it all a bad image, whether it be gross slogans, aggressive or violent behavior, or just general need for chaos.  I dont necessarily agree with their message, but I do feel sorry for the well meaning students who get umbrella'd under this nonsense.

And like so many problematic things at college campuses, its largely caused by non-student outsiders.  My campus had a popular bar closed down, an annual festival severely changed, and a number of restrictive policies around certain events due to violence and poor behavior over a number of incidents.  95% of them were perpetrated by people from nearby towns

If you think that the "illegals" are bringing back these diseases, you are pretty much a dimwit.

Actually, the data disproves your theory
The outbreaks are mainly confined to centers housing"illegals"

That would be false. Yes, migrants are getting these diseases but they are not being "brought" here. They *are* here and have been here for awhile due to vaccine hesitancy.

Any mischaracterization is due to how you characterize yourself here. And I have my doubts its inaccurate.
