So I've kept away from the entire Palestine / Israel conflict all together and I'm very ignorant on the topic.

I'm reading about thousands of people be it students and general public setting up camps and all over Canada and the United States of America to protest what?

Is this not a conflict between two groups over seas? Why are people protesting in the west ?

Why doesn't all these people go there and make a difference?

Why protest in the west? To me, someone who's completely ignorant to all this it seems like these people want the miliaries of the west to engage in combat over something that has nothing to do with them?

Why should we the west be getting involved?

Please only respectful comments and common sense explanations with obvious benefits explained to why we should be getting involved.
