I really don’t understand what point she even thought she was making?? Of course they wouldn’t, it’s an active conflict area, and that conflict is what has people worked up…
She has a very poor understanding of what’s happening in Gaza, and replaces the yawning chasm that is her factual understanding with a dim stereotype view that it’s a bad place because the Palestinians are terrible people who don’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps
I think it’s that it’s run by Hamas and that most Western/liberal minded university students wouldn’t like to live in under Islamic rule. Which yeah probably, but also misses the point of the protests.
I think her point is that people would probably get hurt if they went there for a college semester even if it wasn’t a conflict zone, maybe due to religious or gender discrimination.
Which might be right, as a society they still can improve, but it doesn’t mean they deserve to be victims of a genocide. I think we’re past religion here, we’re just humans concerned for other humans.
The point she is trying to make, is that Hamas doesn’t grant the same freedoms to protest and accept criticism of the government that we claim to allow in the US.
Which is true.
But what she doesn’t get, is that religion, extremism and lack of education is the problem both in the Middle East and in her constituency in the US.

She is being racist

Hell, it’s not like college campuses in the US are some beacon of safety
I’m going to stop you right there to tell you she’s incapable of doing something like that.
Let’s say she meant “before conflict”. It still does not make sense. Yes, US universities are better. Therefore, what?
There are brown people in Gaza and obviously no one wants to be around brown people.
