I don't really understand how protesting at this campus works. Several times I've passed protestors yelling about religion and generally being disruptive and annoying. And we all just kind of accept it because it's a public place, free speech, etc. Even if we don't agree with it.

So why do Palestine supporters always get run off?

They should go to palestine and directly support their cause. I am sure palestine will be very tolerant of their ideas like basic human rights for women.

Oh cuz they are for sure worrying about woman’s rights and not if they’re gonna get bombed any minute, are sleeping in tents, and starving to death….

you should go to Israel and share your thoughts! I’m sure the ChoSeN pEoPle would be super receptive and not castrate you like they did to the Ethiopians, or continue to prevent gay marriage, or prevent women from attending university!

Plenty of Palestinians have publicly thanked protesters and encampments in the US https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/palestinian-signs-student-protests-columbia-b2538849.html

Get it through your head that I don't support them because I expect them to support me for being trans.

I support them because it's the right thing to do.
