This is a great opportunity for people like us to do political education. If y’all have a local encampment get involved and run some teach-ins on why your demands need to be concrete and realized before giving up your leverage and promises aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. Come prepared with historical examples. There are probably very recent ones re: BLM promises in your area.

Israel lobby getting nervous for the first time. Blank check days are numbered likely why Israel is trying to finish Gaza genocide asap before US sentiment completely turns on them.

I would argue the Turkey trade thing makes them more nervous than a few students in the states.
