The message should be for the US to stop sending money to Israel. Israel isn’t going to stop this shit in the name of “peace”. The best any US citizen can do is constantly berate the US for sending money to Israel. Biden needs to know he’ll lose to the orange man in November if he doesn’t take note. When you protest you need a clear demand, and the US could definitely stop sending money to Israel.

    Stopping funding to Israel is important, but the university protests specifically are aimed at getting their universities to divest from Israel, to stop taking funding from Israel.

    We have a major problem in the US in that Israel has massive influence in our politics and government due to how much money they dump on our politicians and academic institutions.

    There’s obviously nothing stopping students from demanding both, and the two ideas have overlap, but the Uncommitted vote in the primaries is more how you communicate with the Biden admin directly. Actually going and casting a vote shows them concretely that you’re someone who will vote.

      Yes that’s good messaging too. Divest from Israel is good as well, it’s about the money, and they should demand both as both are clear demands.
