Thank you for the article, “Protesters Paint Graffiti, Dye Fountain Red, Interrupt Eisgruber at Reunions” (published online May 25). I do worry that the student protests have led to a counterproductive backlash, with too much attention devoted to the controversy over the protests themselves, and too little attention devoted to Israel’s relentless attacks on those in Gaza — Hamas terrorists and innocent civilians alike. For example, I read today that extremist settlers in the West Bank have been attacking trucks trying to feed those who are starving in Gaza.
