I’m too young to really remember much about the demonstrations, but I remember them happening. They really do have a 60s feel to them. I was interested to see how different universities are responding. Columbia calls in the police, while Brown negotiates and the protesters get at least some of what they want (divestment). This is not even a new call, and on a whole lot of fronts I think people should be agitating much harder for ending investments (I would start with things that harm the climate because I think Israel has a right to exist and defend itself). I think the students are absolutely right to be angry about what is happening in Gaza. It is horrifying and won’t solve anything.
