Exactly. This is the beginning of the end. Funding and supporting genocide is too much for people of conscience to stomach.
"We must understand, then, that what we witness is not merely a series of protests but a signal, a call to dismantle the entrenched systems that perpetuate injustice. It becomes evident that pulling at this thread—the financial ties to destructive forces—must be the beginning of unraveling the broader yarn of complicity that upholds our societal structures. This is not merely about divestment from the right-wing Israeli government as a geopolitical entity; it is about divesting from antiquated and harmful ideologies that have long been woven into the American ethos."
You are enormously bright, articulate, and have serious rhetorical skills. But none of those gifts changes the fact that you are carrying water for Hamas, erasing the viciousness of their agenda and demonizing the people resisting that agenda. You are doing exactly what they hoped sincere Western progressives would do — granting them a complete pass for their barbarism and thereby lending their project of annihilating Jews your blind support.
Thank you, so well articulated. Another paragraph that resonates deeply:
“In this American colonial experiment, we find ourselves at a crossroads, one traced and retraced by the tireless movements of youth who dare to demand more. We speak often of liberty, but less of what it demands. Liberty requires not merely the presence of empathy, nor the absence of cruelty, but the active and unyielding resistance to horrors such as genocide—resistance to the systematic destruction of a people not only through bombs and blockades but also through the insidious weapons of silence and complicity.”
Thank you for so eloquently explaining why these students are protesting, as well as how important it is that they are… and how important it is that we support them, while also doing what we can to further the cause of freedom for all.
Thank you reaching out, however, I cannot support this effort. The fact of the matter is that most of the land that they are maiming and killing over belongs to neither aggressor. Both the U.S. and Israel know this. That land belongs to Sheikh Aied and the Tarabin Tribe (known as the Bedouins). They have been forced off their land and not allowed to return since this fakery of a nation was established in 1948. Sheikh Aied has land documents verifying that his grandfather purchased the land and the Tarabin have been living in the Negev over 1,000 years. This is why we must study our own history rather than be spoon fed by the lies of Western media.

Very, thoroughly articulated, thank you!

This is not a zero-sum game, the old "if you're not with us, you're against us."
I've said this before: no matter what Hamas did on October 7th, that does not permit genocide in response. Genocide is never justified.
It is your argument that fails to hold water.
