Reading that line, I chuckled. That has to be satire.

This article makes no sense. The protests have been explicit in their demands for their schools to disclose investments in Israeli war and divest. Whenever someone says, ‘Why don’t the protesters protest against Putin/Hamas/China/etc.??’ they’re clearly just saying, ‘Stop making demands of people you have leverage over! I demand symbolic, ignorable activism only!’

This article is… Bizarre.

Edit: I went looking for some context to try to understand who this guy is. Apparently Hamza Howidy left Gaza after he protested against Hamas and was beaten and tortured, and it seems that a lot of his online engagement is now directed solely at the need to remove Hamas from power. I must say that I feel sympathetic. That must be an awful position to be in. I think it’s sad that he seems to be suffering from the common misconception that one can only pick one side to oppose in a war. I wish him healing, and hope his family back in Gaza survives this war.
