    pretty clearly pro-terror

    That is utter nonsense. Regardless of what Hamas did on October 7th, which I am guessing pretty much no one there thinks was a good thing, it was also the day Israel’s genocide started. Large numbers of innocent Palestinians, including a huge number of children, started being killed that day.

    And you know for a fact that it doesn’t matter when the protest happens in terms of this sort of negative coverage. Or did you think the media took a positive view of the campus protests a few months ago when it was definitely not October anything?

      No, no. There needs to be a clear 6.5 month buffer on both sides of the attack before any protest can happen. /s

        It’s like the “too soon to talk about guns” after every school shooting, but there are regular school shootings, so it’s always too soon.
