I’m sure all the idiotic campus leftists believe they are just having a tea party.


It's the start of a revolution.


i remember when they said the same thing about protesters against South Africa.

but eventually change happened.

lets hope Israel changes and stops brutalizing Palestinians.


Tell me more about this time when Russia and Iran were bravely supporting change in South Africa.

No, they know they're all on the same side, and against America and other western countries.
But that's the side they're picking.


You've gone full MAGA!


Uh, no. I'm left of the Democrats.
But the extreme far left is actually pro-Russia, Iran and North Korea, as long as it means being "anti-colonialist".

This is after waiting nearly two weeks to take a stand on the hostages, while simultaneously taking an immediate stand on use of white phosphorus.


Maybe the “documented evidence” is faulty?


A significant percentage of the evidence reviewed came directly from Hamas’ own channels.

For instance, the widely-seen slow beheading of the Thai farm worker with a garden hoe came directly from Hamas.

I find the silence from HRW completely inexplicable.


If find your continued lying about “silence from HRW” to be completely inexplicable. They indeed released an analysis of the footage and declared it a war crime: https://www.hrw.org/video-photos/video/2023/10/17/israel/palestine-videos-hamas-led-attacks-verified


I explicitly talked about silence from HRW about the evidence provided by Israel to journalists on Monday 10/23 of human rights atrocities. The link you posted pre-dates the evidence session provided by Israel. You must be deliberately misreading what I wrote, specifically to hide the fact that HRW has been silent about the presentation of evidence gathered. There has not been anything written about the disclosures made to journalists, although they were extensive and detailed.

Also, even looking at the link you provided — which doesn’t address my initial point whatsoever — it talks about validating four videos. Four. That’s it. We know there are hundreds of videos (HRW even says as much) but they have only validated four of them.

Are you taking the position that is a reasonable position for an organization focused on human rights for all (at least in theory) to take?


Yes, it is 100% reasonable for an organization that does high-quality analysis to take more than *three days* to analyze footage especially if they don’t have access to all the metadata. It is also 100% reasonable for a nonprofit to not redo work it has already done. HRW has *already said* that 10/7 killings and hostage takings were war crimes. To expect them to keep on writing additional reports on every new piece of evidence is unrealistic.

Your vendetta against HRW is frankly strange and extremely counterproductive.

The Far Left and the Republicans are aligned in being pro-Russia and anti-America. They love chaos and hate the Establishment. They chafe at institutions and their rules. Nuance and a world that's not a simple matter of good versus evil is frustrating to them.

I don’t agree on pro-Russia for the left, but they definitely both have anti-establishment, authoritarian tendencies. But that’s been the case for extreme political movements for decades.

Actually, the former Soviet Union heavily supported the anti apartheid movement. Many of them were educated in the former USSR. And also trained there as well. Remember that this was during the Cold War era. The US actively supported apartheid SA and in fact members of the ANC had difficulty visiting th US until more recently that you think.

Hamas is still doing that via rockets toward Tel Aviv.

I think we would rain holy hell on them and most Americans would be happy to see it.

(Numbers are converted to the equivalent percentage of the US population).


Well your scenario does not track of reality. For that the state next door would have to be filled with refugees forced off their land and out of the United States. The US also would have to be a religious state that keeps the other state in poverty and continually kills it thousands of civilians.


Israel isn’t a theocracy. Jews have always been on the land.

Want to perpetuate any more lies?


Why is there a Star of David on Israel's flag?


A theocracy is a state ruled by clergy or a state that follows religious law.

Israel is not run by Rabbis and does not consider Talmudic law to be its legal system.

Theocracy is a form of government in which one or more deities are recognized as supreme ruling authorities, giving divine guidance to human intermediaries who manage the government's daily affairs,[2][3] or in which human leaders who follow a certain religion are thought of as the ideal and only class of ruler.

Please go back and enroll in Government 101.


Someone substituted the original "religious state" with "theocracy." Israel is a state which, at the very least, privileges one religion over the rest. The poster who used the term "religious state" would have to comment on whether that is what they meant by the phrase.


If we’re talking about precise language, let’s be clear that it isn’t about religion. It’s about ethnicity. Israel gives special privileges to Jews. Most notably right of return. And that has nothing to do with religion.


The Jewish ethnicity has nothing to do with religion? Come on. It's not just a coincidence that ethnic Jews very often happen to be religious Jews.


You don’t get it. Israel doesn’t care if Jews are religious or not. I’m talking about their policies, not generally whether my ethnicity and religion tend to overlap.



Maybe I don't get it. I have a hard time believing that Israel's privileged status for Jewish people are policies adopted with no intent of being beneficial to the religion of Judaism. I don't think Israel is a theocracy. But if religion weren't a factor, there would be no need for Israel in the first place. The Jews of the world were persecuted primarily because of their religion, not because of their ethnicity. If ethnic Jews tended to practice the dominant religion of the areas where they happened to live, there wouldn't have been any special persecution. That's why there is a need for a Jewish homeland.


You think Jews were persecuted primarily due to our ethnicity?

You are massively ignorant.

Did you know Hitler killed Jews who were atheist? Jews who didn’t even know they were Jewish?

Read a damn book please.


Interesting that PP thinks that if Jews were to convert to the local religions they would not be prosecuted. Doesn’t explain why Roma who are majority Christian were prosecuted throughout Europe. Or, why Kurds who are Sunni Muslims prosecuted in Turkey and Iraq.

Here is an interesting question, Kurds have been fighting to have a homeland for centuries. Where is 800+ page for them? Turkey exterminates and fights against the Kurds in the most brutal way. But no objections from DCUM. Double standards.


It’s persecuted, not prosecuted.


Can’t criticize a strategic nato ally! /sarcasm

And Netanyahu is doing that by bombing schools, churches, evacuation routes and generally anywhere civilians gather.

The Soviet Union also supported activists in South America.

Surprisingly, they have been on the right side of history in a much of the developing world.
