I hope to point out that the same kind of idiots are trying to run this stuff today, regardless of the thoughts/ideals of the majority of those participating - the same thing you just described here.

I thought your article was excellent. You acknowledged more than one fact about the protests. There are well meaning students who are genuinely opposed to the misery in Gaza. Some of these are behaving thoughtfully; some are being idiots. There are Hamas supporters whose main interest is destroying Israel and Jews, and only care about Gazan suffering to the extent that it helps their hatred achieve its goals. There are people whose only goal is getting attention for themselves. It does, indeed, remind me of the VietNam war protests. And none of it is doing anyone in Gaza or Israel any good.
yes. But we can see through them--long years of practice, I guess. My question is how much this is influencing the response to the protests, both at the universities and in the media.
