Arrest them all and stop negotiating with 20 yr. old toddlers.

You don't have to know all the details of a highly complex history to know that what you're seeing *right now* is wrong, and want to speak out against it.


Good grief. Quit excusing their ignorance. They have no idea why they are protesting.



Yes the pro Israeli are pretty clueless.


Oh, sweetie.... the two girls in the video were very much anti-Israel and could not articulate why they were protesting.
One even said, "I wish I was more educated."


And that is why she is in school to become more educated. At least she recognizes her limitations unlike the lot of you pro-Israel sheep who are proud of your ignorance.


Oh, Lordy. You will make any excuse for these entitled little brats.


Don't hate them because they are young, full of life, and supporting a worthy cause while you are past your prime and drumming a keyboard for your overlords.

The issue is that far too many of these twits cannot tell us the "worthy cause" they are supporting. They have no idea why they are protesting.
Just a bunch of sheep following other sheep. It's called flocking instinct.

Well if you are trying to throw the election to Trump so you can protest in favor of a terrorist organization, let's be clear that you are a danger to democracy, America, and society in general.

First of all, they came to take the gypsies
and I was happy because they pilfered.
Then they came to take the Jews and I said nothing,
because they were unpleasant to me.
Then they came to take homosexuals,
and I was relieved, because they were annoying me.
Then they came to take the Communists,
and I said nothing because I was not a Communist.
One day they came to take me,
and there was nobody left to protest.

Bertold Brecht, inspired by Emil Gustav Friedrich Martin Niemöller

They are not full of life or thinking for themselves. The protest kids are repeating hate slogans after their leader like dead-eyed automata.

Just because rights of Palestinians doesn't matter personally to us, doesn't mean we support silencing young protestors because they are inconveniencing us.

It's disgusting, though. As an American, I hang my head in shame for just shrugging my shoulders while this hijacking of America has taken place over the years. At this point, the only hope is that ANYTHING occurs to help American awaken from this stupor. If these protests are part of that effort, so be it ... it has to happen for America's future.


Foreign agendas? Exhibit A: Michigan, and its loudest representative.

Foreign funding moving behind the scenes to promote the agenda of a foreign nation? Qatar.

Tell the Palestinians to renounce terrorism and support solutions. These dumb kids drunk on Fanon and Said just want destruction and chaos.

Not true. She said “we are protesting for Palestinian rights” she was only stumped when the guy asked her what NYU had to do with it.

All of it (promoting foreign interests on U.S. soil) is a problem to varying degree. If you're suggesting that the "Israel effect" is somehow not the worst of these problems by several orders of magnitude, you're living in a world that isn't compatible with actual reality.

Israel was also founded on terrorism. Maybe start by asking Israelis to renounce terrorism.

Who is buying the kids these tents? They are all being purchased in bulk. Who is paying?

I presume Qatar is ultimately responsible for the funding.

The U.S. will not win the Gaza War. Street-level war tactics are cell phones.

The lawyer’s exact words: “what we are seeing in the news this week is nothing compared to what’s been quietly happening for the last few years.”


So, we have antisemitism but what’s the word for Americans supporting Gazans who are being bullied and shamed relentlessly by Zionists??? God forbid if someone opens their mouth to criticize Israel, so are well all supposed to take a pledge of allegiance to Israel? See, money can buy you power but it cannot win public sentiment and in the long run public sentiment is what determines if the powerful remain that way.


I’m wondering if you are capable of stepping back to see the bigger, far more complex picture…or if you are only able to hyperfixate on Gaza?

Literally everyone recognizes the tragic suffering in Gaza. Everyone. Even Israelis.

But the situation pre-October 7 and post-October 7 is far more complex than the overly simplified messaging.

We are dealing with multiple countries sucked into a very serious powder keg: Western values vs Anti-western values.

If you are posting on dcum, you enjoy western values.

What’s unclear is how this will end.

I think the West is hoping to move the needle rather than just maintain status quo.

If you can’t recognize the complexity of the big picture…sigh.


What are these "Western values" of which you speak? Does it include supplying weapons to aid genocide? Does it include rolling back women's rights to accommodate men? Does it include getting rid of abortion rights, killing millions of people since WWII, invading countries for oil? Please, I would love to know about these values you hold so dear.


Oy vey.

Think of it this way: if you live in America and can fritter away your time posting on dcum, then you are enjoying western values.

Similarly, if you are able to leave your house unchaperoned in a tank top with exposed hair…

Or if you don’t need to worry about being stoned or enduring an honor killing or being thrown off a building for who love…

Or if you recognize the rule of law…

Or benefit from capitalism…

Or enjoy public education…

Etc.

Is our democracy perfect? No. But it has the ability to evolve.

If you think life is better under a religious totalitarian regime, then I am not interested in helping you get up to speed.


You have described most of the world, even China and Russia but what you failed to do is to actually give examples of western values. Nice try though.


ICYMI: people can be tossed in jail or “disappeared” … there’s no rule of law.

It’s easier to describe those who don’t accept western values. Hint: religious extremist totalitarian regimes and the sheeple who love that brand of “religion” and (sadly) those who are forced to endure it.

#duh


You just described Israel.
Congratulations for finally seeing the light.


I can understand why you believe that…you’ve accepted the Tik Tok version of “reality.”

It’s like we are living in a bizarro world of #facts concocted by dum-dums.



Go back to your bubble if you can't handle the truth.
Which country has a religious symbol on its flag?
Which country calls itself the Jewish homeland and is ruled by an ultra religious Likud party?
Which country is arresting and assaulting Jews for protesting against the genocide in Gaza?
Which country is committing genocide in Gaza?
Which country is enabling the theft of Palestinian land in the West Bank?


Which countries breed terrorists?

Which religion is most linked with religious extremists who are apt to blow up themselves and others in the name of religion?

Which groups adhere to deeply held beliefs summed up by “Death to Israel, America, and the West”?

Simply put: it’s bananas to fail to recognize the very real threat these groups pose to America, Americans, and our way of life.
