It strikes me that everyone living in that neck of the world's woods has been hating each other so long, that none of them can pinpoint the exact reason why nor when it actually started......Ben

This time around we're seeing Palestinian supporters effectively impacting proceedings on college compasses. It's no coincidence the timing exploits current political divisions in our country.

Figure it's maybe time to realize there are more than one group in this country. Maybe if we pull some $$ support from Israel they may wake up to the fact they need to solve their problem with their neighbors.
Personally I like that the college students are coming forward and speaking out. Happened way to late during the Vietnam war for the 55,000+ dead and many others left to pick up their lives. Didn't really get to be much during the last wars we were in as most of us got suckered into WMD BS that was spread from the WH at the time.

This situation is not all on Israel. It takes two to tango. And when one of the parties would rather invade a country kidnap rape and kill that country's citizens it makes negotiations difficult to say the least
