Biden is too busy trying to figure out how to send more aid to Israel or he's asleep at the wheel.


Republicans get a hard on just thinking about Isreal for some reason.


Same for all the Democrats taking AIPAC checks and free vacations to Israel.

You sound jealous.


Not at all. I'm a parent whose adult kids were raised to be responsible, honest, caring, and hard-working adults.


What a good little sheep you raised.


And I bet your kid is wearing a mask outdoors at protest harassing and threatening people while being coddled in the bosom of a progressive bubble.

Really brave.

This country was founded on revolution and protests. I’m sure you’ve heard of free speech and the right to assemble, etc. You’re just mad because these students are bringing awareness to an issue that has been swept under the rug for far too long.


Free speech does not include threatening and intimidating other students simply because they are Jewish. Nor does it mean choosing which laws you decide to follow as part of your protest. You cannot block public streets, camp out where ever the hell you want, and disturb the peace and call it "free speech."
Other people have rights too. They seem not to recognize this fact.


Other people are agitators who rage filled that they are largely ignored at these peaceful protests.

Yes, the idiots in the democratic party are fighting to save something, i don't know what though. Israel was using them all along. Israel needed democratic votes to fund their country. Let's see who has dual citizenship.

The kids aren't fooled.

silliness

these are just bored, self-hating rich kids who've never been anywhere near any of the stuff they've appointed themselves to judge

wonder what the average household income is of the kids leading these protests


+1

Secular lifestyle + affluence = boredom and made-up problems

NP. I saw a video tonight where the “kids” you are defending were screaming “Go back to Poland” at Jewish students. Something like 96% of Polish Jews were killed by the Nazis. Is this the side and behavior you are defending?


Except they are not Columbia students, they are confirmed agitators.

Al Jazeera news has video of students holding signs that Palestine will be free by any means necessary. Violence is being advocated for.


Jews are claiming to be scared to death of "WORDS" while Palestinian women and children are actually getting slaughtered by a Jewish ethono state. Y'all are full of jokes.


This absurd. This isn’t just a bunch of misguided students peacefully protesting what they view as the Israeli government overstepping their rights to self defense, this is radicals supporting a recognized international terrorist organization and actively calling for genocide and the dissolution of the Israeli State, often specifically targeting Jewish students, staff, and passers who have zero connection to the Israeli government, and denying Israel any right to defend their nation following 10/7.

Criticizing Israel is perfectly fine. Israel has, in the past, made decisions I do not agree with, but that is different then glorifying Hamas and denying Israel the right to measured self defense.


How do you “correctly” criticize Israel? Posting on anonymous boards? Telling your friends? Putting a Canva pdf on IG?


DP.

You criticize the government and/or the military response, but you don’t call for its annexation or elimination.

You don’t celebrate or support acts of terror against Israel.

You refrain from blood libels against Jews.

Pretty easy. I manage it all the time.


But people have gathered in person at rallies to do this and have been criticized. So, how do you manage to do this?


Be clear and unambiguous as to what you’re calling for.

Protesters have done a horrible job at that, perhaps because they don’t have a unified message.

My sense is that it breaks down something like this:

50% favor peace/ceasefire/Palestinian statehood and the existence of Israel.

50% favor the elimination of Israel, half via a “one state” solution (whether Israel consents or not) and half via any means necessary, including terror and violence.

What if this was reversed? Would you still say it was a made up problem if the Palestinians had killed 35K Jews, mostly women and children, in six months after the Jews attacked Palestine in a targeted massacre and took hostages? Curious. Would we really say it was okay for Palestinians to respond in this way?

So you have made up data based on??? Attending a rally? Or just being an armchair critic?

Well it didn’t happen that way did it, because the Jews are not terrorists seeking extermination of the Gazans.

So it’s a moot point.

Good. I was reading today that they were refusing to leave. Has that changed? I hope this goes on their record.
