For sure self-control. Not so much on the ethics; but, as AnEdgelord said: it's actually of tremendous strategic importance that these protests remain disciplined.
If anyone were to pop off on the protestor’s side, it would immediately make Israel and Zionists the “good guys” in so many loving morons’ smooth brains, and also, the police would immediately open fire on all of the protestors, with the complete backing of the aforementioned smooth brains.
All of them already think that and the police have already fired live rounds at protestors (when they were clearing out a building or something). I mean they already had that woman on the news with her two perfect eyes claiming to have been stabbed in the eye... it's pretty clear who the "good guys" are here.

Yep.

The protests remained peaceful up to now, that's why the police have been civil and let them exercise their rights.

I don't think a lot of students will take summer breaks from protesting; they've now been connected to activist groups & leaders that will continue to protest whether school is in session or not, even if not on campus.

I'm not so sure but I'd love if you were correct.

At minimum I would expect protests to resume in the fall though

yeah it might not look like encampments but the current movement isn’t really spontaneous like occupy and george floyd were. this has come after more than six months of other forms of activism

Toronto's is only growing, as I imagine are others outside of the US and/or that started later. There was an obnoxious bagpiper in the vicinity yesterday morning although I have no idea if that had any connection or if it was an obscure gaelic holiday.

I imagine protests at schools with trimester systems or lots of summer courses will continue absent brutal policing.

Yeah those kids will probably be going to protests throughout the Summer, but college protests are done till August as Summer sessions are much more sparsly populated

I don't doubt that many many students will remain plugged into organizing (and carry such tactics and ideas into their workplaces later in life) I just mean inevitable the campus as a flashpoint will fade since the summer semester just means a lot less people physical present at these universities.

Many of them will be going to Chicago in August I imagine, and there will be renewed campus activities in the fall as long as the genocide continues and institutions continue to refuse to divest
