are on the far left rather than the right. It's visible and audible in their signs and chants. Anti imperialism and anti capitalism slogans do not come from the right. Accusations of apartheid are not RW rhetoric. Abolishment of Israel is not a RW position. On the contrary, RWers have fundamentalist religious reasons for supporting Israel's existence. Complaints about Netanyhu's RW government do not come from the right.
I happen to agree with complaints about Netanyahu's extreme RW government, although I think that protesters have made some biased assumptions about his motives in his war strategy.
It saddens me a lot to hear this coming from the left. I am a liberal Dem, to the left of centrist Dems, but not as far left as the DSA. While I greatly admire Hillary and happily supported and voted for her in 2016 because of her qualifications and experience, I have sometimes found myself a little more to the left than her on some issues. I was proud to have her as my Senator in NY and happy that I had an occasion to meet her very briefly during her first Senatorial campaign here.
How many times has Secretary Clinton warned us about things, from RW conspiracy theories to what the country would be like under Trump and his deplorables? She has been right every time. She is correct now, too, in warning that our educational institutions need to provide more in depth knowledge about complex issues.
A lot of the blame for poor education is RW interference with schools and colleges. But some of the faculty supporting the protests are from the left. Like Hillary, I want them to take responsibility for providing accurate information to their students on the complexities of the issues in order to discern and combat disinformation from social media sources. Social media that push Hamas propaganda deliberately target the left, especially students, in order to create discord. Our students need to be prepared with factual info.
