      Does that even really matter? Are students the only ones allowed to protest a school’s involvement with the Israeli apartheid state?

      It’s like saying only an oil company’s customers can protest their latest oil spill, while tar enters your drinking water.

      There are downstream effects of organizations like educational institutions continuing to support Israel and silencing dissidents, effects which impact society at large.

        It doesn’t make a ton of sense for non-students to protest at a university. What are impeding? Students and professors who probably already side with you from going to class?

        Universities are for meeting, rallying and handing out pamphlets. Actually protesting there will have no effect on the general populace of aside from creating a very strong suspicion of straw man tactics.

        Creating a “you’re either Pro Israel or Pro genocide argument” with the liberal youth is good way to get many of them to either not vote or to not vote Biden. I strongly suspect that’s what’s happening here.
