5. Since the heinous attack by Hamas on October 7, protests against Israel (protests in support of Hamas) have taken place in many cities and on many college campuses in the U.S. Why do you think it appears that the American protesters are mainly college students and in the case of Columbia University in NYC, also professors (rather than electricians, plumbers, construction workers, office workers, etc.)?
6. One reader commented: We should not be saying "'Bring them home now,' we should be saying 'Let them go now!'
