It's terrifying to realize that this generation of highly educated students will soon become teachers, professors, business managers, CEO's and off course will get into politics as well... Hopefully the next president and his administration will help straighten this out... Although it's very hard to fight ideologies no matter how ridiculous and despicable they are.
"Pro-Palestinians" and "awareness"? I think these are two mutually exclusive concepts. They speak and think in ready-made dogmas and cliches, or inferences based on them. I have yet to meet a pro-Palestinian who has his own opinion or an interesting viewpoint worth considering. None of them have their own impressions and stories, except for those they gleaned from the Internet, empty pseudo-research, or manipulation of facts that are visible to the naked eye. They stubbornly cling to dogmas spoken by someone else and ignore everything that does not fit their ideas. Awareness will not survive here.

All too true.
Maybe what the pro-Palestinians will hate about this is that they have been forced to become aware of it.

Yes, groupthink brainwashing.
Forced to ignore it, one might say.
