So interesting that these “students” —many of which were not students at all — are so loudly protesting about what is happening in Gaza but never said a word about the atrocities committed against Ukrainians. Just as in Israel Ukrainian women, children and men were raped, slaughtered, children killed and kidnapped… and yet there were no calls from students to stop the slaughter or for a Russian ceasefire. Why?
Because this entire middle eastern crisis was planned and manufactured to take our eyes off of Ukraine, destroy America and make billions for a few. They manipulated social media and young people to win an election and made the people of Gaza collateral damage. They did not care about the people of Gaza — only about winning.
I don’t know how Elise Stefanik, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kristi Noem, Trump, Putin or any of these sick, evil people sleep at night without a care about all of the damage they have done and continue to do.
If students want to demonstrate against anything it should be the forces hijacking their future. The Heritage Foundation, The Federalist Society, the Supreme Court, the MAGA cult and the sociopaths in the GOP.
Power and greed are destroying humanity as we speak. We are at war for democracy. And we all need the be soldiers before it’s too late.
DMS, why would students demonstrate in the case of Ukraine, when their country and for that matter their universities are soberly aligned with them and all humanitarians to act in support of the victims of violence? Most people, including students (and excluding MAGA Republicans), approve of US support of Ukraine, invaded by a hostile power careless of civilian harm—though Russia had not destroyed its cities or killed mostly civilians.
These students, a great many of them Jewish, are protesting the use of their tax dollars in a campaign the World Court has called plausibly genocidal, and their universities’ investments in the war machines that enable the forced displacement and slaughter of a people.
They didn’t destroy their cities? Ukraine wasn’t genocidal? Do you really believe that students who mostly have never paid taxes are only about tax dollar funding? Propaganda is so powerful it has even convinced you of the narrative they want you to believe. Yes… what is happening to the people in Gaza is a war crime. Yes… the adults in the room are holding the administration accountable… and… helping to push the power hungry middle eastern MAGA out of office. Just as not all Gazans are evil nor are all Israelis. Neither should be at the mercy of greedy, power-hungry leaders who use their people as shields.
Your concept of students seems based on the sensationalism of the press. I have taught in colleges and universities for 45 years and my thoughts about them are different. The situation in Gaza and in the West Bank (where 1000+ have been murdered since Oct 7) is complicated—as you say, and as the wide variety of perspectives among protesting students actually attests. But the people of the world agree, including all but one of my Israeli friends, that going on 35,000 mostly civilian deaths and 100s of 1000s of injuries —many necessitating amputations without anesthesia, anesthetics, or even clean water—not to mention famine, is disproportionate. Young people live close to their conscience and we weary, cynical adults are tempted to call their moral vision “oversimplified.” I know you and I don’t disagree on the basics of this ghastly situation, but I want to put in a word for the students. Those I have talked to are thoughtful, informed and serious. (And a great many of them are Jewish, pace Mss Stefanie and Foxx.)
They don’t sleep, or if they do, even in their dreams concoct the next vile, evil, sick event. Every freakin day I keep trying to figure out how we got this far. Intelligent people are ignoring them. Too many people are saying they won’t vote for either TFG (too crazy) or Biden (too old) , they’ll find someone to write in. They are going to kill this country as we know it. I don’t sleep either.
Could not have said it better! This entire ordeal is being orchestrated, by the usual suspects, with no true media to expose the truth. Wake up, folks; those cited by DMS have been at this for quite some time, and they think they've found the goal line.
Exactly! There should be peaceful protests everywhere against Putin’s vile atrocities against Ukrainians and the Heritage Foundation/Federalist Society/unjust Supreme Court/MAGA cult leaders (the combined true origins of American dysfunction and threats to democracy) while at the same time recognizing that protesting against the Hamas Oct 7th attack and against Israeli attacks against peaceful Palestinians are not mutually exclusive, neither have any place in a civilized world.

Not in my experience as a crime writer and newspaper reporter, G.P. Psycho- and sociopaths sleep quite well, not haunted by demons, because they truly believe the story they tell themselves about being the hero of their lives. That is a demon to the rest of us, but not for them.

Sociopaths sleep very well at night.
Exactly so, Shane.
We’ll never be able to crawl into other people’s heads, but it’s for sure that sociopaths are hunted by their own demons at night.
