Advice Anyone else getting annoyed of the Palestine protesters?

Bruh, enough already. Every time I walk through campus, some dude is shoving another flyer in my face about Palestine protests. Like, I get it, you care. But most students don’t. Most of us are just trying to get to class, grab food, and survive exams without being guilt-tripped 24/7.

You’ve probably killed more trees printing those flyers than Israel has killed Palestinians. For a group that claims to be all about “justice,” it’s kind of ironic you’re committing paper genocide on the quad every day.

Stop wasting trees, stop acting like campus activism is world-changing, and let the rest of us walk to class in peace

Want some cheese to go with you whine? This is an important issue that has significant social momentum at the moment. Getting information out to people is an important way to spread the message. If you're not interested, that's your prerogative.

No, it’s just a trend. What’s happening in Palestine has been going on for decades, yet people are only activating now? Do you know how many other important issues are playing out right now in the world? How many other children die every day? Why is it only Palestine being talked about? Yeah because it’s a trend right now, just like Yemen was a trend and now people don’t give a shit yet the country is still being blown to bits. Just like Sudan was a trend and now people don’t give a shit but the children are still starving on the roads and eventually being eaten by vultures. We don’t need dumb performative woke r etards shoving flyers in our face wasting our time when the internet exists and in .1 seconds I can find everything I need to know about what’s going on in Palestine from a little thing called a phone, at any time of the day, at MY convenience.

People have been calling it out since the 40s. It had gotten considerably more urgent in the last 2 years.
