1 person? Well, I have to say that while I was at university, I knew a few but if you're willing to stand by the idea that these women in that one clip were parents then I'll agree that things must have changed. Surprised they didn't bring their kids to the protest.
Is your wife willing to sign up for a red role with plans on getting herself arrested for the cameras and so she can complain about the trauma of the whole experience the next day?

Expelled or fired form your university? Hate that colonial fascist White majority country that you're currently stuck in? Well my friend, salvation awaits in a country that not only knows how to deal with those pesky Jews but can fast track you into working against capitalism and building a future paradise under such notable leadership group as HAMAS, the Houthis and Hezbollah.

White people are WEIRD. They're the only group with an out-group preference. No greater example of a luxury belief than a White person trying to score virture points by pooh-poohing other White people.

Sadly, I have found 100% proof that some of the college protests are indeed anti-Jewish.
At SVA in NY, one of the demands of the protestors is that the college sever all ties with the 100 year old Jewish student group known as Hillel. Hillel does foster trips to Israel and Israel cultural events, but Hillel is mostly about getting Jewish kids involved in religious and cultural things, Passover seders, Sabbath events. Giving Jewish kids a place to feel they belong.
Targeting Hillel absolutely crosses the line into pure anti-Semitism. Shame on these kids for their hate and their ignorance.

Dude, you've been told several times to drop this. If you really can't understand what was written there despite the few spelling errors, I'd suggest the problem lies within you.

Came the Dawn as the expression goes.
This has been going on for months.
Basically ANY connection with Isreal in any form, even if it does not involve any contact with the Israeli Govenrment, is now evil.
I can tell you about some worse examples then that..like the
Jewish Women are too ugly to be raped comment.

I note that they put Israeli in scare quotes. "Israeli" companies and "Israeli" aggression. Based on that and combined with the rest of the wording it's quite obvious that they are almost certainly driven by fanatical hatred of Israel. The kind of fanaticism that is typically indistinguishable from antisemitism. The kind that openly praise Hamas terrorists for murdering Israeli (or "Israeli") peace activists. Even using the name of the country is almost too much for these people.
Note that Iranians and those allied with them as wells as other extreme Israel haters often refuse to mention Israel by name, especially when speaking to a domestic audience. The more media savy ones typically try to mask their insane virulent hatred of Israelis when their speech is aimed at foreign press.
Instead of calling it by its real name they speak of "the zionist entity" and other euphemisms.

I don't think it was meant to be funny, I think it was meant to be a diagnosis. Besides, if it was "correct" then it is likely to be so on the law of averages. Most of them are probably teenagers.

It's a new app where the original word is spelt a bit differently, like Lyft and Grindr.
I don't think this one is going to take off though.

Historically, student protests have seldom be wrong about their causes.

Of course it's correct, at least the childless part. It'd be spectacular statistically if it wasn't.
Calling them harpies is almost a tautology.
I'll admit it wasn't that funny, but the old-timey Biden-like language of harpy is worth something. And calling them childless reminded me of that poster who used to come on here and rant about "childless Eurpoeans" all the time.
I'd like to see the data on this. I suspect a selection effect where the student protest movements we remember are the ones that were successful, and likelihood of being successful is influenced by being in the right.

I wasn't talking about being successful, I was talking about being acknowledged to be morally right, historically.
Anti-segregation, anti-War (in particular Vietnam), anti-racism, anti-apartheid versions of Occupy, pro-LGBTQ, etc. etc.
Their impact was delayed, but they did create the Moral Baseline we now generally hold to be the norm.
It would be unusual if down the line we wouldn't think the Anti-war in Gaza protests were morally right, and those who opposed them wrong.
