The Palestinian cause in the US is relatively organized and has been able to recruit Americans of all backgrounds to advocate for them. We, Armenians, have not. Simple. If we want that, we must work for it, too. Moral and philosophical arguments, alone, will not convince people to see our suffering without political power.

I get that it must be frustrating to see your country’s issues get ignored, but also the student protestors fight for a divestment from Israel would also help the Armenian people as well by divesting from one of Azerbaijan’s main weapon suppliers. My college campus’ encampment is surrounded with Armenian and Artsakh flags because of this.
