IN TIME OF CRISIS, STUDENTS NEED AN INSPIRING CAUSE TO FIGHT FOR: DEMOCRATS MUST MOBILIZE THEM IN A CRUSADE AGAINST MAGA FASCISM
US campus protests against Gaza war fail to make headway for peace, opting instead for sterile Boycott-Divest-Sanction sectarianism inspired by Muslim Brotherhood, the controllers of Hamas;
Campus movement fails to gain traction, with limited participation on some 50 campuses, falling far short of May 1970 Cambodia-Kent State upsurge, which mobilized almost 900 campuses;
Current agitation also weakened by slavish imitation of failed anarchist tactics of 2011 Occupy Wall Street, which had extensive support but no demands, no leaders, and no concrete achievements;
Tent camps and building seizures are ideal pretexts for red state police and National Guard repression, which today is the leading edge of the ongoing MAGA fascist power grab;
Glaring incongruity of focusing everything on removing Israel-related holdings from the investment portfolios of university endowments over months and years, while Gaza is daily scene of death on a gigantic scale with threat of new pandemics, requiring immediate relief;
Protests are narrowly focused and lack inclusive humanitarianism, paying no attention to Sudan, Haiti, Syria, Uighurs, Ukraine, and other emergencies;
