(4,205 posts)2. I think the big missed story is who is sponsoring these protests?
Dozens of college campuses with protests that look identical. Barricaded tent cities with no one actually able or willing to say just how many non-student organizers are present. My question would be who is funding this, organizing this, calling the shots, because this is not spontaneous. I dont have a problem with peaceful protests for a worthy cause, but the spilling over of protests into Jew baiting/hating, pro-Hamas/Hezbollah chants are too universal to be coincidence.
