How much more of a revolutionary cosplayer do you have to be to forcefully occupy a building, create an artificial "blockade" against yourself, and then demand "humanitarian aid" to be allowed in after a mere 12 hours because you're concerned about starving and dehydrating "to death". The attempt to recreate a Gaza-lite environment on a college campus is demonstrative of the strange revolutionary fetishization of Gaza's horrendous suffering and the Palestinian issue by some of the protesting students. The unfolding debacle is the result of the SJPs deliberate disregard for effective messaging and saying they don't want to make their rhetoric palatable. Turning people against the just and urgent Palestinian aspirations for freedom and statehood is precisely what many pro-Palestine activists are currently doing, instead of seizing on a historical, once in a lifetime opportunity to reach mass audiences with favorable messaging and build broad alliances to achieve justice and lasting peace. Truly shameful squandering of public empathy for the Palestinian people.
