Maybe you forgot that the left freaked out over any serious discussion of Covid’s origins because doing so was racist (against Chinese)?

How come it’s ok when it comes to Israel?

This is a typical RWNJ comparison that makes NO sense.

People were upset about hatred directed toward Chinese Americans or other Asian people due to some people being so stupid and hateful that they would do that in what they viewed as retaliation for Covid.

Are you really this daft?

DP. Ok, I'm going to defend the PP here. You are completely incorrect (not to mention daft yourself). People were ABSOLUTELY called "racists" if they dared to state that Covid originated in China. That is an indisputable fact.

This is nothing like Vietnam.

Unreal that anyone would equate this to Vietnam protests.

Nobody is calling for China to cease existing, that’s why.

And the majority of protestors are not asking for Israel to cease existing. They want Israel to stop killing innocent civilians. Which is entirely reasonable no matter how much you try to lie and slander them.

I don't think you're standing on any campus listening to the chants. If you heard for yourself what they're actually saying, you wouldn't be able to claim they are not asking for Israel to cease existing. Let's be clear that they are.

Would anyone ask other minorities to submit a dissertation with footnotes and proof of these appalling things that are happening? This is so outrageous. Thank goodness someone had a camera at Auschwitz to document protestors on yom Hashoah.
People are in denial.
Reasonable people realize protestors ought to be able to protest injustices without stirring hate—& dangerous hate at that.

Yes, they are. The way the protestors are being demonized to discredit them and in order to justify the use of force against them is very similar.

I read a chunk of that and it seemed like most of the chants were directed at the college president. What chants are you saying demand Israel cease to exist?

Have you paid no attention to the way other marginalized groups are treated and gaslit?

I saw a mention of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” but people seem to debate that one.

Maybe you forgot that the left freaked out over any serious discussion of Covid’s origins because doing so was racist (against Chinese)?

How come it’s ok when it comes to Israel?

This is a typical RWNJ comparison that makes NO sense.

People were upset about hatred directed toward Chinese Americans or other Asian people due to some people being so stupid and hateful that they would do that in what they viewed as retaliation for Covid.

This is protesting war crimes by the Israeli government.

Are you really this daft?

DP. Ok, I'm going to defend the PP here. You are completely incorrect (not to mention daft yourself). People were ABSOLUTELY called "racists" if they dared to state that Covid originated in China. That is an indisputable fact.

You really don't get nuance, do you?

Are you the word salad PPP who flounced off with a “FULL STOP,” as if you somehow have the last word? And you’re accusing others of “not getting nuance”?

Aw, the word salad nonce is still going strong after nearly 3,000 pages!
