It appears most US students appear sympathetic to the cause of Palestine. This is unquestionably because of the Israeli government's reaction to the October 7 massacre. They believe, as I do but probably doe different reasons, Revenge is not a just solution.
It seems that those people who claim to be conservative but are not smear the uni students with the claim they are prio-Hamas. I have read most articles where this is allege on Hotair but none have provided a scintilla of proof. Some appear confused between the Palestinian flag and the Hamas flag! The other thing which is usually asserted is the protesters are anti-semitic. Again no proof but it could be these writers confuse criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.
I am at a loss as to why Unis in the USA want the demonstrations to close. Demonstrating is a rite of passage for a uni student.
THIS is useful for an understanding.
Unis need to both keep villence out of demonstrations and have the demonstrations on land but not in buildings.
Both things tend to happen when opposing sides get too close to each other. Sending in police almost always exacerbates the situation. Asking the demonstrators for student identification would also help. No identification then your outa here.
Just contrast what is occurring in the US to what is occurring here!
I am not sure if administrators understand the role of Universities in some parts of the USA
