Sorry, I can't read the article for some reason. What about these campus protests are unprecedented? What is Palestine gonna do with all the "soft power?" get beaten up by cops?

EDIT: ok finally able to read it, dunno what the problem was.

as with other historic, mass US student movements against South African apartheid and the Vietnam war...

Well maybe unprecedented was a bit hyperbolic? The article was fairer than i expected, i don't see an explanation from the author on how there's no precedent, but I'll forgive em
