In a way, the black-and-white Palestinian scarf draped over Hannah Sattler’s shoulders this week and the tie-dyed T-shirts of 1968 are woven from a common thread. Like so many college students across the country protesting the Israel-Hamas war, Sattler feels the historic weight of the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations of the 1960s and 70s. “They always talked about the ’68 protest as sort of a North Star,” Sattler, 27, a graduate student of international human rights policy at Columbia University, said of the campus organizers there.
I agree it’s wild it’s required, but I was fairly glad they were there honestly. It was George Mason University. I don’t know of any gun violence happening there yet, but when I was there the campus did have a scare of some group coming near campus with rifles to scare people. America has an a lot of issues that were choosing to not deal with. It sucks.
