    It appears the Yale university administration did not want the negative publicity of having Yalies arrested for their anti-Israel protest and did not give the go ahead for ther security force and the New Haven Gestapo to go in and clear the occupation with arrests the way Columbia had the NYPD do it.  They let the protesters hang out all night to continue the action.

    Now if you remember 1968, the anti-Vietnam War protests spread across college campuses all over the country after Columbia, culminating of course in the massacre of 4 students by the National Guard at Kent State University in Ohio.  So the question is, will this movement grow outside the elite universities of the Ivy League and spread to the state universities across the midwest and down south in Trumpland, or will it be short lived and squashed out before a simiar result can be achieved?  It was the student protests that eventually forced the withdrawal from Vietnam by Nixon in the 70s.

    The big difference of course is that we had the Draft in 68 and Amerikan boys were being shot and killed every night on the news, along with the college protests.  Today, not only do we not have the draft, news coverage of overseas wars is highly controlled by the military and you don't have independent journalists wandering around with cameras and footage being shown on network news shows.

    We do of course now have zillions more cameras out there, practically everyone has one on their cell phone.  We also have the internet, s in theory there should be tons of footage coming out from these towns.  But of course, it's all highly censored and controlled as to what can be posted on YT or tiktok etc, plus anything that does go up can be disinformation and fake, so you don't know what's real and what's not.  As a result, people believe what they want to believe, and most people tend to accept Da Goobermint narrative they are sold.

    Definitely more pressure is building against Israel though, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
