Comparing Gaza Protests to the ’60s Is Wrong — and Dangerous
==========
The recent pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses in the United States are being compared to the protests of the 1960s, but this analogy is misleading and potentially dangerous. The protests in the 1960s were sustained, mass movements that lasted for nearly 10 years and involved violent clashes with police. The current protests, while significant, have only been happening for a few weeks. Drawing a direct comparison between the two eras is not only bad history but could also lead to unnecessary tragedy.
