All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

    It is much, much stronger than the response from, for example, the January 6th insurrection.

    Jan6 was a very short duration one-off event while the Campus Protests have been ongoing, and escalating, for months now. The difference in response is easily explained by those two facts alone. As an example The LE response on Inauguration Day clearly shows the difference between “One Time” and “Ongoing”.

      Boiling down the MIC to a jobs program is a bit much for me, but otherwise I agree with you (in addition to OP) here
