US people know well what's going on

Demonstrating students and faculty members on college campuses across the United States are calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza, an end to US military assistance for Israel, university divestment from arms suppliers and other companies profiting from the war, and an amnesty for students and faculty members who have been disciplined or fired for protesting.

These demands are fully justified given the US' backing of Israel's "self-defense campaign" in Gaza, which was triggered by the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct 7, has resulted in the loss of more than 34,000 Palestinian lives, including those of women and children.

Washington has seized on Israel's response to the attack as the opportunity to use Tel Aviv as its enforcer to advance its overall Middle East geopolitical agenda to reduce the influence of Iran and Russia in the region.
