Are college protesters ‘terrorists’ — or just impressionable kids?

everyone of these idiots has BLM merch and probably antifa stickers
Are college protesters ‘terrorists’ — or just impressionable kids?
In January, Bill Ackman wrote for The Free Press that antisemitism is not the root cause of the protests; rather, he wrote, antisemitism is the canary in the coal mine signaling another problem: the poisonous worldview that divides us, without nuance, into oppressors and the oppressed.
This makes sense because, despite inflammatory rhetoric to the contrary, not everyone taking part in pro-Palestine rallies harbors malice against Jewish people.
But many young Americans do see Israel as an oppressor and Palestinians as oppressed because they’ve been taught to view the world through these malign goggles. Young adults who’ve been fed an ideological diet like this register no horror when they go to the National Students for Justice in Palestine website and see North America — their home — described as “occupied Turtle Island.” They’ve been conjugating this ideology in lockstep with their teachers and slouching toward socialism under their tutelage.
