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.

You did a good thing to stay away from this conflict so far! Saved your time 😏
You claim to be ignorant, but you are giving an anti protestor response on every comment. 😊
I’ll try to answer just one question you have asked. “Why should we the west be getting involved?” The hard fact is that the US has been involved in Middle East politics and war from the time I have been reading the news and perhaps more. They fund it. They gain by controlling Oil supplies and prices. They sell weapons and earn millions from wars in this disturbed region. They are involved in toppling governments, taking sides in wars between neighbours, leading NATO nations and most others in forcing economic sanctions on Middle East nations that do not bend their knees, and unilaterally destroying nations because it has a hunch that they have weapons of mass destruction which is ultimately proven false after the nation is ruined and the head toppled, trailed and hanged.
It should be the moral duty of any American with a conscience to protest when America is again funding a genocide in the Middle East.

Of course you are excused since you said you are ignorant. 😀

@WandererTony let's not beat around the bush. America is pretty much responsible for more wars and conflicts then any other nation in the world 🤷🏼‍♂️
