50. We ( as the American people) aren't making money off the investments the student protesters wanted divested either.

Under Trump, our connection to the UAE seems to be at least as tight as it is to Israel, or West Bank Israeli settlers. We have a military base in the UAE.

Since October 7, 2023, and up until November 13, 2025, Israeli security forces and settlers have killed 1,017 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Just between January 1 and June 30, 2025, at least 3,384 civilians were killed in the conflict in Sudan, mostly in Darfur. In late October of this year, the Sudan Doctors Network reported that at least 1,500 people were killed in just three days as civilians tried to flee the besieged city of el-Fasher after it fell to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Other sources mention over 2,000 civilians killed during the RSF's invasion of the city.
