Wait, I have vivid memories of the MAGA idiots who didn't want to wear a mask because of "muh freedumb." I bet you were one of them.

DP. They weren’t trying to hide their identity, unlike the pro-Hamas cowards.

They are not cowards, they are unfairly being targeted and arrested for peaceful protests. I don’t blame them for protecting themselves. There is a frenzy to portray the protesters as aggressive and violent to distract people from their message.

Would you be okay with masked klansmen protesting anywhere? I wouldn't be!! Show your face or stay home.

Major terror organizations have expressed support for these protests and disruptive actions, which have long been a key part of Hamas’s plan to win hearts and minds in the West. As early as a decade ago, during the July-August 2014 Israel-Gaza war, Hamas’s Interior Ministry issued guidelines to social-media activists on framing events for a Western audience.

Every senior Hamas leader has also acknowledged the importance of the protests and said that influencing U.S. and Western policy is part of the organization’s strategy for destroying Israel. Khaled Mashal, the Hamas leader abroad, on Oct. 10 urged supporters to protest “in cities everywhere.” On Oct. 31, he said that the organization’s friends “on the global left” were responding to its appeal. On March 27, he called for millions to take to the streets in protest, saying there had been an unprecedented shift in global public opinion.

On Oct. 7, Hamas leader and former Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh alluded to this on Al Jazeera TV. He exhorted the “resistance abroad,” “strategic allies” and Muslims worldwide—all “partners in creating this great victory”—to “join this battle any way they can.” Hamas political bureau member Osama Hamdan underlined the “large impact” of the protests “in pressuring the decision makers in the world” in an interview on Nov. 12.

The collaboration between senior terrorists and their growing list of friends in the U.S. and the West has real-world consequences. These groups are designated terrorist for a reason. They don’t plan marches and rallies—they carry out terrorist attacks. And when the U.S. and Western activists, including college students, see that their marches and protests aren’t achieving their goals, they may consider their next steps—which will be influenced by the company they have been keeping.

Nah, the world's coming for those a-holes once it's done dealing with the Likud and other extremist a-holes in Israel.

Is the world in the room with us right now? Is it saying things that only you can hear?

It's vibrating all around you. However, you're smug and think you're clever and your Bubbie even said so, so why wouldn't you think it's wise to wade out into the world with that smug, "feeling invincible" hubris, right? Well, feel that vibration coming, or maybe your settings are so unhinged by your attitude toward others, you won't see the wave coming before it breaks on you?

Princeton, at least, is still a serious academic institution.

Hell yeah! Why, our brave founding fathers published criticisms of our colonial masters with their full names out front in bold letters, not via cowardly pseudonyms to protest themselves from the evil that others would do unto them for having the temerity to rebel! They were brave! These kids are cowards!

Right? Right?

Yes if only Biden would listen to the people and change his support for Israel. Before he was elected he promised to hold the Saudis accountable. Now he thinks he can solve the Palestinians issue by making a deal with the Saudis to recognize Israel while not doing anything to address the Palestinians issue. Bet That does not work and leads to more unintentional consequences.

Though he is lot like LBJ in the Ukraine with his slowly introducing weapon systems and his out dated views on Israel.

Why does he need to listen to some "people"? This set of people, sometimes in life we hear "no", said or implied.
It seems that Palestinians and their supporters do not know what the word "no" means. They have been begging for 80 years, and the answer has been "no". Maybe others just don't want what you want. All that is left is for you to war so go for that.

It’s not some people. A recent survey by The Wall Street journal show that 60% of voters do not agree with his handling of the conflict.

The opinion of the people is irrelevant in a heavily militarized, neofeudalist entity. The purpose of the United States is to generate wealth and maintain power for a few hundred people, by any means necessary.

I think these congress people, if they haven't been swayed by the Israel interest group, are certainly affected by groupthink when it comes to Israel.

Watch Speaker Johnson’s interview with Erin Burnett. Hand on a bible, the guy is in an absolute trance regurgitating talking points straight from AIPAC.

Our ejected representatives are bought. It’s a fact, not opinion or conspiracy theory. They’re bought and representing our interests is only a consideration where it doesn’t affect the orders of their true masters. It’s frightening.

No, no, its just a coincidence that both Trump and Biden are reflexively pro-Israel. Its also coincidental that even if you want to vote for the third-party guy, you will get someone reflexively pro-Israel. They differ on pretty much everything else, but coincidentally are aligned on this one thing. See, just coincidences!

Or it could be that 80 years of Palestinian terrorism hasn't endeared the Palestinians to the US?

Just a coincidence.

EXACTLY!

As Americans, we’ve been on the dead wrong side of history many times before. Our judgement, often based on false information, isn’t perfect by any means.

Israel’s conduct over the past 7+ decades is the larger problem in this conflict that has brought us here. Nobody wants to pay your bills any longer. Fend for yourself. What part of that isn’t clear?

Not my bills--Israel's.

US should continue helping Israel as long as it's in our interest to do so. Simple as that.

It has never been in the US interest to help Israel. If one were object, Iran offers a lot more vs Israel with less moral hypocrisy. Iran has oil, oppose the Saudis(who are responsible for 9/11), controls the straits of hormuz, better strategic location, would allow US military bases, etc, etc.

Iran's not an option, for a variety of reasons (most of which have nothing to do with Israel).

The issue is strategic value of Israel vs. realistic alternatives. Also, potential cost of a diminished relationship with Israel, which is quite high.

Like what? Please give concrete examples of Israel’s vale to the US. Do not say intelligence. Do not say ally because it is a protectorate of the US. No one in the intelligence field believes anything Israel puts out there. It is self serving to the point of being useless.

Israel is of no value strategically, Israel does not allow the US to use it airbase or air space, it is in an unimportant part of the world, has no resources, can not be relied on militarily or politically. What is so vital to US interest?

Is that true about the airbase and air space? And, also per above that Americans can’t live/work there?

USC really has no excuse for this: they should have made it clear anyone who ruined the ceremony in any way would have their diploma taken away.

It's funny, I always liken people like you to a burglar who steals from others, and then plays the indignant card when their victims fight back.

Enabling state terrorism in the form of Israel is WHY we can't have nice things. The world is coming to that realization, and you'll be dragged kicking and screaming to the new reality, I guess.

USC screwed up by canceling the valedictorian before she even wrote her speech.

That's actually the precipitating event that kicked off the nationwide protest wave this week.

If you are Jewish, then yes, you can get Israeli citizenship. They call it a “democracy” but only if you are of a certain religion.

Ok so blame the pro-Israel groups that threatened the Muslim Valedictorian who was supposed to speak at graduation but was then cancelled.

Nah, it'd be easy enough to tell the kids to behave by threatening academic sanctions. They just gave up because they don't want to deal. Bad administration is all.
