          The colleges have relationships with the companies that make the bombs and have direct investments in Israel.

            Why not also protest at, I don’t know, the White House or Congress? The people who make policy work there, a college faculty can’t do shit to affect Israeli strategic policy.

      The US government provides weapons for the genocide.

      One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.

      Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.

      Of course Israel isn’t going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don’t like it. But that doesn’t mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.

      Funded by Amerikan money. The government you uplift, and everyone who still supports them after eight months of unmitigated genocide, is complicit. Is a collaborator.
