> you get "fiery but mostly peaceful" campus protests

oh no, not students checks notes exercising their rights.

> every BBC interviewer asking you in the perfectly aggrieved RP tones why you hate children so much

dude you're literally commenting in a thread about how the BBC is complicit in preventing coverage of Israeli crimes because of conflicts of interest.

Yes, this was the joke that the news were calling the people rioting "young scholars". I'm not sure you're meant to repeat this crazily positive characterisation still, unless you're also paid by whomever funds the media to look silly.

Check your notes again. At least part of the "fiery" was not within students' rights. The "not peaceful" was definitely not within students' rights. Harassing Jewish students is not within students' rights; not being harassed by other students is.

Didn't know the IDF was active in UK universities.

Students can be stupid and this is a special demographic that thinks it was touched by Jews. And yes, if they use violence and intimidation, their hobby perhaps needs some examination.

For the unrelated conflict in the middle east it certainly isn't helpful in preventing any death. On the contrary, they often demand and justify "holy" wars, fueling even more hatred.

So f these guys, really.
