I don't think that the evidence is there to say that the protests are going to stand against continuing our ongoing occupations (including about a third of Syria, the oil-bearing third according to Pres. Trump, bases in Africa, Iraq, and surrounding China). I'm also surprised how quickly and how thoroughly the Israel lobby (as Mearsheimer & Walt put it in their book "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy") has lost control of the narrative. People are not buying the idea that opposing bombing Gazans is opposing Jews. There are even establishment repeaters that aren't going along with this (former AIPAC employee now CNN employee Wolf Blitzer and MSNBC's Joy Reid to name a couple). Those two clowns are no guide on how to properly consider any armed conflict, to be sure, but it shows that there are some cracks in the establishment.

Jimmy Dore covered this in https://rumble.com/v3xdz49-heres-the-real-reason-biden-opposes-ceasefire-in-gaza.html . I think that public opinion globally has turned against Israel. The sheer one-sidedness of it all (literally billions of our dollars fuel this conflict), that half of Gazans are children (which guts the Osama bin Laden-esque argument that people who vote for leaders who do bad things are as culpable as the leaders who make the real decisions), and the policy of denying basics needed to live (food, potable water, fuel, electricity) are all pushing people to learn how Gazans lived prior to October 7, 2023. I think that Israel has lost whatever favor they had with so many people, including American Jews who have been protesting, and in large numbers, Israel's attacks. Could the (now) long-term low ratings for media be a factor in this too? What does the future look like for media outlets and their shills with millions of dollars behind them when their audience rejects what they're hearing/seeing or ignores their stories?
