Honest question and don't mean to stir any pots.I think to start a social change in America so that most people oppose Israel's crimes, and then put pressure on politicians to stop defending those crimes, and maybe even push back on Israel and force the crimes to stop and prosecute war criminals.
What is the goal/ intention or purpose of protests? (In general)

And also maybe freedom for Palestinians
How can Americans affect people across globe?If voters all opposed Israel, no politician would dare defend them. Overnight, you would see the US government change policy and become unfriendly to the Israeli government

Honest question and don't mean to stir any pots.For a lot of campus protests in particular, there are calls for their universities (which hold substantial financial resources through their endowments) to divest from companies, such as military contractors, that do business with the government of Israel. This mirrors similar tactics employed in student protests against apartheid South Africa.

Are you asking how the citizens in a democratic country with both the mightiest military and mightiest economy in the history of the world can impact other nations?I think they're more asking why these citizen protestors think their words/actions should have an effect on the conflict when they're not even of the majority opinion.

Crooked Joe Biden would say, constantly, that he ran because of Charlottesville. Well, if thats the case, hes done a really terrible job because Charlottesville is like a peanut compared to the riots and anti-Israel protests that are happening all over our Country, RIGHT NOW, Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday night. Trump also accused Biden in the post of hating Israel and the Jewish people, but hating the Palestinian people even more.

Driving the news: In a letter to the university's board of trustees, 21 House Democrats wrote of their "disappointment that, despite promises to do so, Columbia University has not yet disbanded the unauthorized and impermissible encampment of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish activists on campus."
STOP THE PROTESTS NOW!!!
LOL, Ronaldo got suspended.
Decades from now, just like every time, people will say these kids were heroes. And everyone will pretend like they always supported them, even if they are lyingNah
NahPeople now say the 1968 protestors were correct
People now say the 1968 protestors were correctDo you think they were the same people or do you think there might have been a few additions to the population since 1968?
Do you think they were the same people or do you think there might have been a few additions to the population since 1968?Nah, population growth is a conspiracy theory--it's just the same people making several alts.
Do you think they were the same people or do you think there might have been a few additions to the population since 1968?I think he means the Boomers have co-opted the anti-Vietnam protests and pro-civil rights protests from those years as part of their generational identity even though in those years, the majority of them were completely on the other side of the argument.

Zionists attacked protesters at UCLA, calling for a "Second Nakba"

So are these Zionists getting arrested or everything is "normal"?Glad you asked! Cops decided to take a smoke break during the attack
Security and UCPD both retreated as pro-Israel counter-protesters and other groups attacked protesters in the encampment led by Students for Justice in Palestine and UC Divest Coalition at UCLA that followed similar ones across the country.
There has been a minimal police presence on campus despite multiple events of counter-protesters antagonizing the encampment since Thursday.
UC President Michael Drake released a statement Tuesday evening supporting the universitys decision to label the encampment as unlawful, adding that when it threatens the safety of students, or anyone else, we must act.
In an emailed statement sent at 12:40 a.m., Mary Osako the vice chancellor of strategic communications said the university had called law enforcement personnel for immediate support.
Horrific acts of violence occurred at the encampment tonight, she said in the statement. The fire department and medical personnel are on the scene. We are sickened by this senseless violence and it must end.
At around 10:50 p.m., counter-protesters who had been gathering around the encampment since that afternoon began wrestling with protesters inside and CSC security hired by UCLA over the metal barricades surrounding the Gaza solidarity encampment. The barriers came down shortly afterward, and counter-protesters wearing masks then began shoving the wooden boards surrounding the encampment, attempting to topple them onto the protesters inside.
If they can be there, so can we, a counter-protester shouted through a megaphone as they tore down the metal barriers. Just before the barriers came down, another yelled, You guys are going to want to get this. This is history being made.
CSC security officers hired by the university retreated into Kaplan Hall shortly after, refusing to allow entrance into the building to anyone, including Daily Bruin reporters. The Daily Bruin had previously been pledged 24-hour access to Haines Hall by UCLA Media Relations to protect the safety of its staff, but when reporters attempted to access the building, they found it locked. No immediate remedy was provided, and Media Relations only said that they were working on providing a solution.
Where's all the 2nd Amendment loving Texans at?Lol right?

Arresting an elderly protester for violently, uh, pointing
Well, see, Israel is highly dependent upon foreign military aid-- primarily from the United States. No US military aid, no Gaza war.
Sometimes I wonder if folks stop to think that if Israel lost funding from America that would push them to China and Russia and everything would just be worst but...they clearly are not thinking ahead in these kind of things.
