There's been a lot of campus protests, a long standing American tradition of course. While the specific form of their solution or the specific complaints or even ignorance of attempts may be worth comment, the general objection to what Israel is doing right now is a worthy consideration, and it does look like a solution is coming about.
And based on the comments of foreign policy commentators, the loud angry protests, whatever their specific inaccuracies, seem to have borne some real fruit. The only thing we have to keep in mind is a willingness to accept something good happened if Biden's apparent plan comes to pass. Apparently, it's a huge deal that Biden cut off military aid to Israel, and that is something. The genocide MAY just come to an end, if we're lucky, in the form of a two state solution. You'll note I didn't personally predict that one as a possibility, but presuming it takes the form I've heard before, with a coalition of outside parties keeping the peace between Israel and Palestine, then it could actually be a lasting peace.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
