    Back in the 60s, People used to criticize the American Civil Rights movement because the Soviets supported it. Bad faith then, bad faith now.

      During the bad old 60s, the Russians, or rother the soviet union did side with the Civil rights movement. This was because we were in the middle of a cold cold war with them, and they wanted to build a wedge in our society. The same may be true here, but college students are using the same rhetoric as Hamas and Iran. The Civil Rights movement refused to do that.

      But, good point

          Hamas is saying Israel is committing genocide, therefore students are using the same rhetoric, of course!

          You know, just like how people protesting America’s decades-long military presence in the Middle East are using the same rhetoric as Osama bin Laden.
