We could also use the descriptor, "anti-genocide" for these protests, but that's a bit on the nose I guess.

From the river to the sea!!!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Montreal protesters set up about 20 tents Saturday afternoon with the intent of staying on McGill University's lower field "indefinitely."
They joined a wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations held on campuses across the U.S. who want to see universities divest from companies with business ties to Israel.
Zeca Eufemia, a McGill student and teaching assistant who was among those protesting, said the encampment had, indeed, tripled in size, as the university statement claimed.
Sasha Boucher, a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party who was not a McGill student but said he was at the encampment in solidarity with Palestinians, said the protesters felt support from the general public.
Nanre Nafziger, an assistant professor in McGill's department of integrated studies in education, said she came to the encampment to support the protesting students.
Pearl Eliadis, a human rights lawyer and associate professor at McGill, told CBC Montreal's Daybreak in an interview that the university may go to court to seek an injunction to have the protesters removed.
The original article contains 604 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The police will probably use force to clear the protest. It's hard to protest for peace if you use force to keep protesting..
It’s hard to protest for peace if you use force to keep protesting…
What a silly take.
I hear that Hamas listens to liberal college students from Western countries. It's really their core demographic.
Neither does Netanyahu.
But the students are not trying to sway either. They are targetting McGill itself, pushing for BDS. It's a reasonable tactic for a reasonable target.
