re: Have protests ever changed a mind?

I can’t speak for every single protest/issue, but protests in-general typically make me want to take the other side. Especially if the protests get out of hand.
That’s what I find ironic about protests… my belief is they benefit the other side moreso than their own. Because they inadvertently generate support for the other side that oftentimes wasn’t there before.

This is certainly true when the protestors aren't really impacted by what they are protesting, like these protests. Some of those students are no doubt Palestinian but the vast majority are American kids who have absolutely no skin in the game at all....they will tire of all the fuss, accept some modest compromise and go onto the next big thing because they can't possibly have any conviction because they have no direct interest in the conflict they are protesting.
