And I do wonder, what it is that they’re “protesting”? Do they even know? Have they really thought about it? What if a group of Mexican cartels entered the U.S and did what Hamas did on October 7th? Murdered innocent American in their homes, raped women, killed babies, burned people alive and then took hundreds of hostages into Mexico? Then saw videos of Mexican people dancing on the streets, handing out candy, celebrating what they did? And then promised to do it over and over again? Let’s say some of these hostages are their loved ones, what would the expect America to do? They’ll probably want America to do everything to destroy these narcos and get their loved ones back. I’m sure there wouldn’t be calls for a “ceasefire” or for America to provide aid, food, water, electricity and oil to Mexico. I’m sure America wouldn’t have phony accusations in thenICJ for “war crimes” or be accused of committing “genocide” against Mexicans. I bet no one would start shouting “from Wyoming to Chiapas Mexico will be free” or start questioning America’s right to exist claiming it’s a “colonizing” power. And I’m certain these narcos wouldn’t be called “freedom fighters”, honored and admired. I can guarantee you that America would be the good guys defending their country, while Mexicans would be the bad guys that attacked America for no reason.
Can they say SPECIFICALLY what are they “protesting”? Because it seems they don’t even know, it’s just the latest trendy thing to do. There are plenty of videos of these people being asked facts and they have no clue, they probably hadn’t heard the word “Gaza” 7 months ago and they couldn’t find Israel on the map without a huge magnifying glass. And answers like “Israel’s actions” or “the Israeli government” are BS. Have they made mistakes? Of course, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a right to retaliate and destroy a group that’s threatening their country. Not every action the make is objectionable. They’re not evil. Without being specific about what it is one objects to, it’s obvious that it’s just prejudice and hatred, not legitimate objections.

You don't harass and bully Jewish students and expect other's to think it's still peaceful.
You don't shout out things like "Gas the Jews" and "Go back to Poland" and expect other's to still think it's peaceful.
I could keep going.
I do think there are many who have wished for a peaceful protest(s) but that really isn't the case anymore. Not in most cases.
Outside groups have entered the picture as they did during the BLM protests four years ago and the game playing has changed considerably.

Did you not see that at Columbia these students violently entered a building, vandalized it, took employees hostages and are now demanding “humanitarian aid” because they’re thirsty?
I guess their gruhub order of mocha lattes with soy milk hasn’t arrived yet…
Every minute I read of another Jew being assaulted by anti Israel protesters at USC and UCLA.
Sorry, but while exceptions may occur, the overall tendency is clear as water.

And they also aren’t demonstrating because they want an end to Israel or harm to Jewish people, they just want peace. I’m glad that they had a peaceful demonstration for Israel without violence, but there isn’t a reason to use this to demonize a whole other group of people.
