My generation doesn’t know why the heck they’re protesting for Palestine

Do the Gen Z pro-Palestine protesters even know what they’re screaming, yelling, and encamping about? Definitely not.
A Columbia University student who rushed down to NYU’s campus in solidarity with protesters there said on camera that she actually had no idea what they were protesting, eventually admitting she needed to be “more educated” on the issue.
I’m sure that’s very much the case with her countless classmates donning keffiyehs and chanting anti-Israel slogans.
Forget the three r’s, these Ivy League elitists are schooled in the three i’s: ignorance, indoctrination and Instagram.
International politics are complicated, and yet Gen Z has appointed themselves as experts before even graduating from college or bothering to learn any of the details.
Diplomats, negotiators, and world leaders have failed to solve the decades-long conflict.
But don’t worry — the Zoomers have everything figured out!
When I was at Columbia during this week’s protests, I saw signs like “dykes 4 divest,” “gays for Gaza,” and “lesbians for liberation.”

The same way German students in the 1920s protested with the National Socialists.

Your generation doesn't know a lot of things.

Because they've been spooned the old collectivist oppressor/oppressed dogma that the world is a terrible place, and want to be that edgy and supercool persona while 'making a difference' and 'changing the world'.
They don't realize that they're just recycling the same old Marxist agitation and deconstruction strategy of revolution since the 60's as they willingly play the useful idiots.
If I have one big complaint against Gen Z, they are overconfident with little to no resume, and tend to be legends in their own minds thinking they are on the cutting edge doing things that have never been done, that have been done many times over because they have zero knowledge of history.
