The role of a prophet includes holding a mirror up to society, and this article brilliantly does so.
One of only a few positive developments over the past few weeks is that some college students, who have lost job offers, etc., have learned their actions can have consequences--that's a step in the right direction. This situation has also revealed the blind stupidity of the "oppressed" and "oppressor" binary. The fallacy of that world-view must continue to be hammered.
Not so good is that the MSM and certain independent journalists, who do wield influence, are still striking a strong anti-Israel tone which doesn't draw a very clear distinction between "we just don't like Bibi" and "Israel is an occupier with no right to exist." We're also seeing the presentation of very selective "history." If you're going to talk about Palestine in the last 100 years (looking at you WAPO), it's fair game to include the Palestinians' support for HItler and the Holocaust (see Simon Sebag Montefiore's "biography" of Jerusalem for more on that).
But there will always be someone to offer those college students who’ve lost job offers new jobs and reward them. That’s how it seems to work today across the board.
