"By the numbers:Only a small minority (8%) of college students have participated in either side of the protests [...].
Students ranked the conflict in the Middle East as the least important issue facing them out of nine options.
It landed behind health care reform, racial justice and civil rights, economic fairness and opportunity, education funding and access, and climate change.
What they found: The survey found that three times as many college students blame Hamas for the current situation in Gaza than they do President Biden.
Some 34% blame Hamas, while 19% blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 12% blame the Israeli people and 12% blame Biden."

In Mid-America I would think very few college students would be interested in this issue.

Universities with a very small % of students that are either Jewish or Muslim aren't going to generate much interest.

Self admitted Zionist Joe Biden quit sending munitions to Israel.

But the protests have had no effect....
