Why Weren't College Students Protesting At The Hamas Embassy

Sounds like Israel should've recruited a bunch of students from Columbia to a sit in, as that would've brought all the hostages home.
Blinken finally noted that while he understood people's frustration and emotions after October 7, he believed more pressure should have been put on Hamas.

“I wish that those who, understandably, have been moved and motivated by everything that’s happened since October 7, if they’d spent maybe just 10% of their time, calling on Hamas, demanding Hamas put down its arms, give up the hostages, stop what it’s doing, maybe if the world had done that, we’d be in a different place.”
Deploy the college protester brigade! Bombing the shit out of every square inch of the country wasn't enough, you needed a drum circle! Failure of planning by Israel, IMHO, if they cared about the hostages.
