What a dishonest trolling.
It's been undeniable that US is actively taking part in Israel's crimes. The fact that these people refuse the idea that US should stop backing the genocide really showing what kind of people they are. --- FFBE: 396127609 ... Copied to Clipboard!

How can Americans affect people across globe? The initial encampment was for the BDS movement which is about trying to stop the university from investing in companies that are involved in the war (defense companies) and companies that do business with Israel. I don't think I agree with that as the investments Columbia had with those companies were through index funds. Not any like direct investments, but whatever. Doesn't seem particularly impactful. In general, I'd think the idea would be to just express discontent with the current policies we have with Israel, and hope to persuade politicians that those international policies will cause them domestic troubles and unrest here. Specifically with sending weapons. My only comment is that, the actual issues between Israel and Palestinians is ultimately up to those two groups though and...well both leadership are unreasonable. So honestly, best case seems like we go back to the status quo of Hamas in charge of Gaza and Israel continuing settlements in West Bank. From just like an optics point of view, I'm kind of surprised the hostages aren't referenced more in the protests. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate ...

Honest question and don't mean to stir any pots.For a lot of campus protests in particular, there are calls for their universities (which hold substantial financial resources through their endowments) to divest from companies, such as military contractors, that do business with the government of Israel.

Are you asking how the citizens in a democratic country with both the mightiest military and mightiest economy in the history of the world can impact other nations?I think they're more asking why these citizen protestors think their words/actions should have an effect on the conflict when they're not even of the majority opinion. Foppe posted... *looks at Ukraine**looks at I/P* Oh wait, that's right. Americans are more supportive of Israel than the protestors would have you believe. It's a complicated issue and you can't really say a "majority support Israel" and supporting the conflict, but more support Israel than they do Palestine/Hamas, while still having sympathy for the Palestinian people and their desire for a state. https://news.gallup.com/poll/611375/americans-views-israel-palestinian-authority-down.aspx https://www.pewresearch.org/2024/03/21/majority-in-u-s-say-israel-has-valid-reasons-for-fighting-fewer-say-the-same-about-hamas/ ...
