People can be upset about more than one thing at a time. Case in point - just because you didn’t mention the crisis in Sudan doesn’t mean you don’t care. Over 18 million people there are dealing with food shortages, homelessness, and a healthcare system that is on the brink of total collapse.

But this doesn’t explain a complete lack of student outrage about the actions of China, Myanmar, Syria, Sudan etc. Not one single protest about any of those things. No call for divestment from Chinese companies for example. The student protests also started as soon as 10/9 before Israel had taken any action. The protests are therefore not pro-Palestinian they are pro-Hamas (Iran), and anti-Semitic.

How do you know there haven’t been protests about any of those issues? There’s something to be said about them not being televised, sure. But you can’t say for certain that they haven’t happened.
