Some of them do, but I don't know if it would really matter. Biden was given a shot across the bow in the Michigan primary that should have made him change course, but his foreign policy is as morally bankrupt as ever. But you're right, I'm in Bowman's district and I haven't seen any meaningful attempt by protestors to back him up.

Honestly everyone involved in the campus protests should be embarrassed. Zionists because they're pure evil but the protesters especially because yo you guys have accomplished NOTHING in the last six months, I'd even argue you've accomplished less than nothing. The one night in the last six months that Gaza was not under attack from Israel was the night Iran attacked them. And now, Israel are beginning to establish a staging site near Rafah preparing to invade AND a mass grave has been uncovered at a hospital which is the surest sign of genocide yet and all anyone can talk about are these useless protests. Congratulations, I'm sure your kids will be thrilled to know that you CARED while the Palestinians were being eradicated. This is the most cynical shit I've ever read, even from you.

No one cares about anything as much as James K, no one else is genuinely motivated, etc. It’s a neverending projection of one man’s psychic melodrama onto the world itself.

Tell me where I'm wrong.
They protested. Israel shelled Gaza into oblivion. They protested. Israel laid siege to and dismantled Al-Shifa Hospital. They protested. Israel bombed Lebanon. They protested. Israel bombed Iran's embassy in Syria. They protested. Israel committed genocide. They protested. Israel got 27 billion dollars (their 2021 budget for the year was 24 billion). They protested. Israel invaded Rafah.
People who accuse others of cynicism are often guilty of naiveté.

I got doxxed by Zionists who tried to get me fired from my job. Ok and yet the genocide continues. Applying the same logic as you have to the student protesters, that was a waste of time and performative, etc etc. I’m not saying I think campus protests are going to necessarily bring about any swift and meaningful change but I do think it’s exposing the hypocrisy of liberal institutions.

I have zero illusions that anything I say or do will have any affect on what happens in any foreign country (or this country, for that matter). I just want the people around me to be better informed if I can help that at all.

Honestly? They should have been using their time, energy, and money volunteering for primary candidates opposing Democrats in the pocket of AIPAC. These people respond to threats to their bottom line / office. They don't care about anything else. ESPECIALLY when they know they're going to play the whole "abortion and democracy are on the ballot" in 7 months and a lot of these people will fall back in line by then. They don't give a shit if you're being a little cumbersome on a college campus. Asking genuinely, are there actually candidates who are openly talking about standing up to AIPAC? Because even the most progressive politicians I can think of have failed miserably on Israel.

Every member of the house who voted against the Israel aid bill is going to be under attack from AIPAC this fall. Almost all of them progressives that the centrist establishment have been trying to eliminate for years now.

They protested. Israel invaded Rafah. People who accuse others of cynicism are often guilty of naiveté. Short of being Dr. Manhattan, what are you expecting any one person to do? The US funds Israeli defense. US politicians need votes in order to stay in office. In order to earn votes, said politicians need support of their constituents. Constituents express their support or opposition a number of ways, including public protest. I know you've been paying attention to this conflict for a long time; even just 10 years ago the scale of these pro-Palestine protests today were unthinkable. Most people are not plugged into this issue at all, like AT ALL. So the more these protests break through in the MSM, and gain institutional support, the more likely folks on the fringes of the issue will dig deeper, and support could dwindle, in turn putting more pressure on Bebe etc. etc. Like, I feel like whatever form of autism you have prevents you from connecting cause and effect. The opposite of cynicism isn't naivete. It's ok to see change happening and feel hope. Seems like you love to repeatedly say things will never change, only because you like to be smug when you're proven right.

I mean, it happened so... Look, you keep standing over there shitting on people trying if it makes you feel better OK? Maybe the violent revolution you seem to pine for will be good for shirt sales.

Politics to you is a basket of beliefs that you put on like a jersey and you think everyone else is like you. I'm really not sure what youre even suggesting about me here, or if you're pulling from a vague recollection of something I've said that you didn't like.

A movement has to start sometime. Unfortunately, it didn't happen on your timeline but this is also a different generation of kids. Our generation didn't do shit, stop projecting.
