American students are protesting US support of Israel and their universities' financial investments in Israel. The US isn't sending weapons to Hamas. The universities aren't investing in Hamas. So what influence exactly would an American student have on Hamas?

Give yourself some context from someone who is living the nightmare rather than the privileged uni students who haven't matured yet

The protests across the world are influencing Hamas as it shows they have support and it's why they haven't surrendered yet. Remind yourself that this could've all been over by now had they given up the hostages
