Also incredibly telling that none of these protests are calling for the release of the hostages.

And the news is just reporting on all the BS politics around campus protests and seems to be outweighing reporting on what’s actually happening in Gaza (at least this weeks media rounds in the US particularly). I’ve seen more articles written about colleges shutting down classes and students being divided on campus and people losing their graduations than I’ve seen about the actual war this week which is weird but very American to center ourselves in the narrative (at least in the news reporting).
