I understand your concern about students getting distracted from their studies, but it’s important to remember that these protests reflect their passion for a cause they believe in. It’s a way for them to express their solidarity with the people in Gaza and draw attention to the Israeli government’s actions. Education is important, but so is activism.

I understand the frustration that students may feel about the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, but I believe there are more effective ways to protest that do not disrupt campus life.

It’s important to maintain dialogue and find peaceful solutions.

Free Palestine!
