Give me a break, plenty of them did think that, not every protest was organized by steely-eyed Leninists with a realist perspective on politics, dare I say quite a few were extremely liberal in their messaging and outlook
Social media was the primary, secondary, hell even tertiary vector of dissemination for the images and videos that radicalized millions around the world, not the protests, I don't get how this is even remotely a controversial point, I summit the protests may in some or many cases imparted confidence to people to express their radicalized views, but they didn't create them wholesale
I'm not gonna just take that on faith, Americans and westerners in general are notorious protest tourists, I need to see data proving protests led to an uptick of recruitment and education, and I mean the protests themselves, not the reaction to the genocide broadly
No, seemed to me most Americans backed or tacitly supported the police brutality against Columbia protesters, the Mahmoud Khalil case was different, but I wouldn't place it under the banner of protests
No, I believe the relative success of the charities was by far a result of social media engagement
Then I'll amend my statement to be more accurate; aside from donations and charities, the half-support for Palestine didn't do jack shit, the world including all of the west failed Palestine, that's undisputable
