Fellow Aztecs, I’m curious (and out of the country).
Are there any demonstrations on the SDSU campus right now? It seems to be happening at many Universities across America.
Thanks.

I was on campus on Saturday, all quite on the Western Front.

But not "Aztec Sports and Conference Discussions" related. |

I hear you and you are technically correct but if a guy is out of town and their is no media on it I think we could let it pass. Glad you're on it though, Joe Friday!

Today was the first day of a campus wide walkout with 100's. Someone just sent me a news flash: Happening Now "San Diego State students have walked out of class in a pro-Palestinian protest, building off of other antiwar demonstrations on college campuses." I don't know the full magnitude of this, but doesn't seem to crazy at this point. Then again that is a subjective term these days. |

Most people would be anti-war if they started a war and then couldn’t win it. |

Timing on this is not going to work out too well for the protesters. It's just too close to final exams (Thursday is the last day of classes, and Finals begin Friday) for most to even pay attention to whatever is going on.

Like some people are pacifists or conscientious objectors. By the time I was twelve I had seen enough of war to know that it was a good thing to avoid if possible. |

Interesting that these protestors don’t have all that much to say about Oct 7th and the violence that started all this. They seem to care only about the war on one side. How do you think the “from the river to the sea” chant you constantly hear from these people occurs without a major war? |

Ugh, I don't want to wade in here but cannot stop myself.
Ignoring the protesters, nothing about this issue boils down to Oct 7th or the subsequent Israeli military bombardment/activity in Gaza. This has been going on for decades and there has been plenty of abhorrent activity 'on both sides'. There's been a whole lot of corrupt, manipulative, political B.S. from both Israeli and Palestinian governments / leaderships for a long long long time. And a lot of innocent civilians, Israeli and Arab, have been killed / suffered because of the bullsh!t (again, on both sides).

It sounds to me like some copycats are hopping on for some attention.

My dad used to amuse himself back in the early 70's with the double entendre "The hippies are revolting". He was usually the only one laughing while the rest of us either rolled our eyes, or for the youngest amongst us, looked at him wondering what he meant.
Man, I miss his humor.

Only 8 people post on that board, I’m looking for more eyeballs than that. I’m in Costa Rica right now with spotty internet, updates are appreciated….thanks. |

Yes, very important that while you're in CR that you keep tabs on pro-Palestinian students so that you can rip on them on social media; I admire your dedication and priorities. |

There is plenty of blame for everyone. |
