The right to protest is contingent upon acquiring the appropriate permission and that the protest be and remain always peaceful. This is not what we are seeing take place in the unis in the US. Violent clashes with the police forfeit their protests and make me think that these are not real «students» raising their voices and exercising their right to express themselves. I wonder whose money is behind these «spontaneous» protests in US universities. And I also wonder why the universities should put up with such activities. After all, aren’t these places for the acquisition of knowledge? Are they not houses of higher learning? When do these «students» actually study? Camping out as a sign of protest seems like an incredible way to waste valuable time. And no, US President Biden will not change his position on assistance to Israel because Israel, although these «students» don’t want to see it, is the victim. Israel was attacked, brutally and mercilessly and it’s citizens, as well as those of other countries are still being held by the terrorist group Hamas. Why are there no protests against those cruel and uncivilised actions? So, in conclusion, I do not buy it. These «protestors» are having us on big time. And it is about time that the press call them what they are, agitators and agents provocateurs.
