Unbelievable that the Isreal is allowed to kill 70 people for throwing rocks at occupying troops. Are there protest anyplace else around the world? Neither political candidate is saying anything either, afraid to alienate ANY voters, but then we couldn't expect them to. The US government has been supporting Isreal, whose government supports their most right wing elements, since they began. My impression is that students all want to get rich and are lulled into style, music and going their merry way. Look forward to other's views who are on campus.
