Students are demanding divestment, disclosure, a student oversight committee on financials, and that the school's President condemn "the Israeli occupation of Gaza as a genocide."
seems to me these so-called pro-Palestinian protests do Palestinians no good at all, indeed may make it worse for them since one reason Hamas is now refusing a cease-fire offer is to keep the protests going. Their noise annoys people nearby and does nothing to encourage either Hamas or Israel to stop their appalling destructive policies. The only real beneficiaries of the protests and chaos on campuses are likely to be Trump and his allies, and with the 1968 protests and chaos in mind that helped elect Nixon, perhaps they are supporting instigators on both sides.
I'll add it is likely nobody will help rebuild Gaza unless Hamas is gone - the've used much past aid to build military infrastructure that has led Gazans to disaster, and as they've said they will massacre Israelis again as soon as they are able, donors will see the resulting Israeli retaliation as destroying their rebuilding efforts. The Neranyahu regime also needs to go, they are also incapable of living in peace wirth their neighbors.
What is needed is a cease-fire, return of hostages, and much more humnaitarian aid asap. Forget the name-calling - apartheid, terrorists, genocide, Islamofascists etc all that gets in the way of reaching deals that require some mutual understanding.
