Great work, Osita. Feels rare to get this kind of clarity in a major paper op-ed.

Thank you! Quick question: "they have not always been right" - what would be an example where they weren't? I am trying to come up with one. I can think of some for the wider progressive movement - racism within environmentalism, for example. But for the students?

What you write here is so in target and beautifully written. The last part says it all. And it’s been the truth forever in my life at least.

One can’t say Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran too, are trying to stop it. The U.S. too—(although you can’t say Blinkin hasn’t been trying to talk to them), and, ( who else is building piers and floating rafts to bring food.). They—all of them want the waterfront land.

Great piece. But one question: Why do you say "nearly 35,000" killed in Gaza? The same number has been given for the past three months. Wouldn't it be better to acknowledge that many thousands must have been killed since February, even if the Gaza health authorities are no longer able to count them?

I saw this reposted by someone else yesterday, and I just read it aloud to my partner, and it’s so true, and so moving. Thank you.

Yes. And—given all this history, it’s been particularly amusing (read: insulting and horrifying) to see speculation about who is funding these demonstrations. Because students protesting on their own is unprecedented?

The absolute fucking ghouls that execute or cheerlead American foreign policy are directly responsible for wanton destruction across the globe that results directly in more radicalization. And no one ever calls them out for it. Lindsay Graham gets to just keep being a Senator.

Thank you for this- articulates what I’ve been feeling. I hope these students, who have absolutely been treated like trash from pretty much all authority, realize that they have ALREADY made a real difference. Here, and around the world. UN agrees w/ them!

Wonder if there's any «constituency» as reliable on 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚 in 𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖 as students? Thought for a moment maybe Palestinians could be that. Nah, of course not. Students, definitely beat Palestinians on Palestine, Iraqis on Iraq and don't even get me started on Vietnam.

It's interesting to contrast this with the idea that conservative-evangelical groups have failed most moral tests so far.

Corrosive effect of Gaza in the West is much, much deeper than people might think.
Already see it everywhere: lack of conviction in what we stand for, disappearance of any pretence to universalism, the embarrassment when moral values are brought into discussion
