"have great sympathy for student protest generally, detest the current Israeli government generally and because of what they are doing in Gaza, believe that all the settlements in the West Bank violate international law and should be dismantled immediately..."

So you have all of these points of agreement with the student protesters. And presumably, you'd like to see some change in US policy with regards to Israel (because those settlements aren't going to dismantle themselves, they'd only be dismantled under heavy international pressure, and the US is the key country in bringing that pressure - or insulating Israel from it) And how do you imagine that change is going to come? What alternatives to the protesters tactics do you propose? And why is it that your thoughts about this particular protest are so focused on points of disagreement rather than your obvious points of agreement?
