Student protestors are portrayed as anywhere between naive and brainwashed. Now listen to this. Nothing naive here.

I'm actually surprised a local Fox franchise was ALLOWED to broadcast that. Props to the Interviewer and her producers for showing it.
@patcanfield @raph That's a pretty cynical take. Yes, these protests aren't going to single-handedly stop the IDF and liberate the people in Gaza.
But the protests, combined with the police brutality against students, do seem likely to have significant and long-term effects on the relationships between students and their university.

@raph Just one note. Those cops aren't there because they're "following orders." They're all padding their nests.
OT and hazard pay. And all they have to do is harass some kids.
And after a couple days of standing around and getting shouted at they can use that nice little bonus to take their families to Disney.
Protests and Demonstrations throw up leaders.
@raph it's not a genocide
Not every hospital is bombed, at all
They are indeed brainwashed
