Why am I supposed to care about these Hamas/Israel protests?

And they are happening on college campuses to boot?
Isn't this a dream scenario for those on the right? Watch the left eat their own, and sit back and eat popcorn? So now all the sudden these dorky GOP politicians and Governors feel its time to grow a backbone and stop riots? But in 2020 we couldn't do anything?
I have never understand why I should care about this conflict in the first place? I hate human suffering, and pray for anyone involved in it. But beyond that, the geopolitics of the issue is not something I wake up caring about and don't understand why I should?
Help me understand this if I am missing something. But I can't help but just feel like the "let them fight" gif about the whole thing.

Wondering the same.

What if your kid, and your hard earned money, was going to educate said kid and he couldn't get access to class? Would you care then?

Because daddy Israel wants you to care.
Isn't it weird that these protests are getting broken up at a higher clip than the BLM?
I wonder why that is...

It's a distraction from the complete betrayal of the nation by Congress as they have disregarded their duty, again, multiple times, to pass a proper budget. They are spending at an alarming rate. They gave the FBI a new building so they can violate our rights in luxury. They enhanced warrantless spying. They have given money to every nation imaginable for border protection, but our own, and they have totally avoided helping Americans in East Palestine, Maui, and everywhere else but DC - where the money is pouring in, non-stop.

Because anyone who criticizes Israel and its actions is antisemitic.

I would care more about that situation, but it wouldn’t make me care more about a regional war that has been going on for decades that I have zero control over.

Obviously man, all the goy need to get down on their knees and thank Israel.
Posted on 4/30/24 at 8:32 am to burger bearcat
Because they divert your attention away from the Ukraine Israel grift and the fact that the grifters have sold our sovereignty at the border? Maybe that

You should care a bunch of Muslims are chanting about genocide and death to America in America.

I consider radical Islam to be one of the greater dangers of the world. In the US, we've allowed the slow creeping of normalization of it. The ongoing existence of these protests, to me, is an underscoring of that gradual acceptance. Had October 7th happened even before 9/11, handfuls of protestors advocating for what is, in all actuality, the ability for Hamas to be able to attempt more October 7th attacks, throw gays from buildings, etc, these protests would have been barely attended and certainly not allowed to escalate to taking over areas.
For me, it's watching the water starting to boil and wondering whether the frogs are going to jump out or not.

A lot of reactionary takes around here.
Antisemitism is very real in many cases.

I wouldn’t care and as a nation we shouldn’t care IF we weren’t on the hook for paying for this nonsense every time, and vetoing every UN resolution that ever gets presented on the conflict.

That's why you don't spend your hard earned money on a useless education, that will serve no other purpose than to indoctrinate your children into Marxism.
I do not revere these institutions one bit. I find it amusing to see these leftists cannibalize eachother at these Maoist education camps.

Freedom for Palestine is basically code for trying to end America. But here's the thing that's not something new at universities. They just want to add a different flavor to the tune.
