I noticed that too. I suspect that it's because many think Israel's retaliation in response to a horrific declaration of war by Hamas is a bit heavy handed. When a civilized society lets the criminals dictate what their punishment should be it becomes non civilized. Hamas and the vast majority of Palestinians celebrate the deaths of innocent Israelis at every opportunity. It is the actions AND the supporting mindset that allows terrorist attacks to be carried out against innocent men women and children in Israel on a consistent basis. How long are they supposed to let their casualties accumulate before they are allowed to eliminate the threat once and for all? It's not just a war against Hamas, it's a war against the idea that anyone but Israel should determine how to preserve their right to exist. I say people made their choices, let Israel defend itself as it sees fit. Don't want thousands of Palestinians to die, don't support and partake in the deaths of Israelis. Is it just me or is there some reason Palestine under Hamas hasn't developed their infrastructure? Instead they buy bombs and indoctrinate children into an ideology of hate an murder.

Back in the 60's, I was careful to make clear I was against the Vietnam War, not all wars. As you indicate, wars of self-defense are usually justified. It seems many current campus protesters are FOR the war Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran are waging against Israel.
