As long as the demonstrations remained non-violent as they did for weeks, there was no issue.
If I wanted to disrupt the effectiveness of a non-violent demonstration there are three ways to do it:
Counterprotest with a non-violent demonstration of my own.
If that doesn’t work: counterprotest with a violent demonstration of my own (This appeals to a certain political party, 33% of whom approve of political violence as a means to accomplish their agenda – January 6th anyone?)
If you don’t want to endure the backlash of a violent reaction to non-violence, then infiltrate the group, perpetrate violence and blame it on them.
The latter concept is called black propaganda: Black propaganda is a form of propaganda that aims to create the impression that it was created by those it is supposed to discredit. The major feature of black propaganda is that the audience is unaware of the influencing party. They don’t realize they are being manipulated.
Black propaganda encompasses all forms of misrepresentation, including lies and fabrications. Success relies on the audience accepting the credibility of the deceptive source.
Biden was clear yesterday with his answer “No!” To the question do the college protests have any effect on his policy decisions regarding Israel and the Palestinians?
Protesters: No one in the White House is listening! What can you learn from that?
It’s an election year and republicans will stoop to any level to encourage chaos. Bibi’s war is like manna from heaven for the republicans, not that they have answers/ solutions.. but are quick to point out Joe is wrong and not fit to be president.
What exactly is wrong with expressing strong feelings about the terrible and inhumane events taking place out there? The really upsetting thing here is that it is the students (teenagers and very young adults) who are risking their future for that.
Fox “News” was, as usual, hasty in placing the blame for funding the pro-Hamas demonstrators on George Soros (without citing any evidence); a far more likely source of this funding is Qatar, which has poured billions of petrodollars into US universities over the past decade (including a good deal of propaganda).

Looks very much like agents provocateurs have their fingerprints all over those dumb protests and protesters.

OK, have to ask…why does Stahler draw the same boring, drippy man and woman in all of his boring, drippy cartoons?

Most of the students haven’t reached “adulthood” (21 and over). They don’t understand compromise.

Are you referring to the Young Republican’s Club?

Amazing how many of these protesters can’t tell you where the Student Union Building(SUB) is. Hmmm?

Sometimes I think “college education” is an oxymoron.
