You said that racists have overtaken the counter-protests. The implication is that the people displaying the American flag and singing the anthem are engaging in racism. They're not.

I understand flying the Israeli flag as part of a counterprotest, but what's with waving the American flag and singing the National Anthem in response? I mean, polls show that more Americans support an independent Palestinian state than don't, and official US policy has long worked toward a two-state solution. Edited May 3, 20241 yr by bolverk

Probably something to do with the idiots that tried to take down the American flag at UNC, resulting in viral videos of frat bros protecting the U.S. flag and getting like $500K in go fund me towards a rager, resulting in other frat bros across the country seeing it go viral and joining in on the action. It was just as predictable as the idiotic protest spreading across the country in the first place. Tik Tok generation gonna Tik Tok generation. And I would love to see polls showing any kind of majority support for anything regarding Palestine after the last 2 weeks. I would be willing to bet a large sum that the idiot protestors have absolutely destroyed public support for their cause.

It just seems stupid for Ole Miss and LSU students to conflate their fellow students' support for Palestine with one idiotic action at UNC. I'll grant you that those two schools are known for their high academic standards, though. The best I can do poll-wise for you is Gallup from early March. Has your view on Palestinian independence changed at all because of protests on American college campuses?

Mine hasn't in the slightest, but I do think a lot of the protesters' antics are stupid as hell. Note it says percentages for those that do not have an opinion are not shown. I'm betting that was a material percentage. I'm also betting that percentage is materially lower now and it skews heavily in favor of "Oppose". I think the protests have been an absolute PR disaster for anyone supporting a free Palestine. The reality is the vast majority of Americans don't take the time to critically analyze any domestic issue much less foreign issues as complicated as Israel/Palestine. But a bunch of radicals effectively taking over college campuses is going to make a lot of people automatically oppose whatever it is they stand for.
