Yeah I really agree that people complaining about the protests are mostly missing the forest for the trees. Most people want an end to the mass bombing of civilians and even if a few freaks are defending Hamas, the vast majority are against killing.

I find that college kids think they know everything when they get there, but by the time they leave, they realize that they really know very little, at least that's what one hopes.
I like when Charlie compared the attacks to 9/11 as a way to describe the shock and anger and outrage Israelis are feeling, and after Iraq, we're in no position to finger wag.
There's always been so much emotion and history wrapped around the Israel/Palestine problem, that trying to discuss the nuances on social media is virtually impossible since Musk took over. Especially with young people who are passionate and can't see the forest for all the trees, as you said.
I'm on Tik Tok a lot and there's a whole wave of young idiots on there promising not to vote for Biden, while Biden is fighting to get humanitarian aid (success) and avoid civilian deaths in the ground attack (YTBD). And like Twitter, lots of bots around to stir the pot.

Frustrating, for all of us.
Those rallies all over the world look like far, far more than "a few" and I don't see any nuance in their bloodthirsty chants.
It kind of goes well beyond 'defending Hamas'. Far too many chants of 'kill the Jews' has also shown up on campuses and in public discourse.
