I think you've lost the plot. No one has been killed during the protests. The protest is about innocent civilians being killed in Gaza and the like.

The media? Again!? :)

The issue is civilians being killed in Gaza. No one is "turned on" by that.

Sure, the upcoming election is important but it has nothing to do with the current protests.

Students are not taking sides, they are protesting a war they feel is unjustified.

BLM was not taking sides, they were protesting unjustified killings by police.

These are not left/right blue/red issues.

The war and killing in the middle east and other places is real, it's not a sitcom on TV.

It's not Biden, it's long standing policy.
