I nevr understand this obsession with 'demands'

They're largely irrelevent. If that's the biggest problem then there isn't one.

It is completely absurd and outside the scope of any reasonable expectation one could make of even a sympathetic administration. There is absolutely nothing to do.

divestment campaigns actually can and do work

Is that a reply to my post? So how should the administration react when SJP explicitly states they will be so disruptive that the campus has to effectively shut down until specific demands are met, and the demands themselves are completely outside the scope of any reasonable action the administration could make?

I mean, Im assuming they wont accept this offer. if they do, then I will be happily wrong.

but I think we all know that Israel's response will probably another hospital massacre or something. thats generally how they respond to reasonable offers.

Instead of dressing in England flag clothes, the protestors should have dressed as Al Qaida, so the police would leave them alone.

In the USA if you want the police to leave you alone you can wear Nazi gear, carry tiki torches, or shoot up elementary schools in Texas.

That doesn't make those people ethnically Italian because there isn't one specific Italian ethnicity. Ethnically italian doesn't mean anything.

Race isn't bullshit when properly defined (ancestor commonality over a lot of generations), it is when used in the sense america (and so many countries in the world) does.

You've defined nationality (or the country you've cited has defined it), not race.

no, its heavily slanted in Israel's favor. if it was truly fair, then just about every Palestinian taken hostage would be returned.

children like this ofc should not be tortured and raped in Israeli prisons.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Some of your innocent protestors dressed in "England flag clothes" (lol wtf is that?) attacked the police and a horse on St George's Day, because they are morons with nothing better to do and they think this best expresses their "Englishness".

Your government supplies many many billions in weapons as well as embeds lots of contractors into the military of Saudi Arabia and they are using it to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Yemen.

Now, I'm not accusing most people of protesting Israel because of Jews (though some are for sure), but your reasons given for who is or is not protested are not exactly right.
