U.S contingent should be fine. Israeli contingent, I don’t know… they will be safe I guess but they will be booed and shamed…. going by what happened at Eurovision.


Shame is a word of judgment. So I guess you are happy at the possibility of them being heckled.


My emotions don’t matter, I simply responded based on the facts that unfolded at Eurovision. You can make your own conclusions.

The conclusion is that you used a word reflecting your own judgment (shame) so your emotions are clear. As for me, I think political heckling is NEVER warranted because it is rude and never changes minds. Let us all just start heckling for every cause--soon we will just all be shouting at the same time.

Sensitive to “rude” political heckling but cool with genocide, as long as Jews are doing the immoral killing. Cannot accept the fact that the fate of America isn't (and never will be) tied to the fate of Israel, or that America’s decision to blindly, unconditionally support Israel is discretionary and subject to reevaluation.

Greta is on the right side of history, speaking up for genocide doesn’t mean her climate protests are not valid. She can do both at the same time.


Eurovision isn't good for the climate with all the flying. How many my children could be fed with the money spent at Eurovision?

I guess you have to pick and choose which protest is the most relevant based on some internal hierarchy.

As someone with familiarity in that region of the world, I know this is a valid concern for some groups/regions and highly invalid for others. Perceptions and treatment of women vary; it’s not a broad brush. But I don’t think OP meant to be malicious. It didn’t have to be the final word either. Shutting down difficult conversations and opportunities to learn from each other is exactly part of the problem in this country! That is exactly what a democracy does NOT look like. As is recklessly throwing out slanderous insults. Or should we simply label mod a misogynist?

Agreed! This is absolutely ridiculous!

Yes. Appropriate consequences.

Deeper look at the counter-protester violence at UCLA on April 30 in the Washington Post.

But in the hours before they took action, at least 16 people were visibly injured, the majority of them pro-Palestinian, including two protesters who could be seen with blood streaking across their faces and soaking into their clothes, videos and images show. The counterprotesters ignited at least six fireworks; struck protesters at least 20 times with wooden planks, metal poles and other objects; and punched or kicked at least eight protesters.

The Post’s examination also found that faculty had raised concerns for days about harassment of pro-Palestinian activists and physical violence directed at people in the protest encampment, raising questions about whether the school should have had more police on hand to prevent an altercation.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/05/11/ucla-protests-police-inaction-fights/

Protesters have been kicked, punched, hit with a car, spit on, harassed and have had racist, homophobic, or Islamophobic taunts thrown at them. It doesn't get much attention, but there has been a large amount of hate directed at the protesters around this country and at times it is violent.

Greta should stop picking the losing side on issues. Just ride off into the sunset and be happy with your 15 minutes of fame. No longer a child so people will challenge her weak positions and ignore her screaming tantrums.

I agree that the progressive movement has changed for the worse since my younger days. I feel like 1. there was a really dark shift towards divisiveness and hate/anger over recent years. Caught me completely off guard.

I had people calling me a Social Justice Warrior as recently as five years ago. 2. But the progressive movement has lost its way. Somehow they're now anti gay and lesbian, misogynist, anti-semitic, ageist, and even pro-Russia and Iran. They're hypocritical, hateful and plain mean. I sometimes wonder if the progressive movement is full of extreme right wing satirists, 'cause shit is WILD.


1. And which President and branch of government is responsible for divisiveness, hate, and anger?

2. The progressive movement is anti gay, anti lesbian, misogynist, anti semitic, pro-Russia, pro-Iran? I’ll give you ageist bc you may be in the early dementia stage

If you can’t see the extremely strong undercurrent of everything the PP listed in the progressive movement, you have to be willfully blind at this point. The PP correctly describes the current progressive movement.

What is terrifying to me is I can see, in the current progressive movement, how far leftist political movements can grow that kill millions. I had never viscerally understood that before recent years. I understood how it happened on the right, but I had never understood it from the left. But I do now.

If you pass a mass media screaming and actually check who is benefited from progressive policies, you will see that they hurt women. You will see that they benefited heavily Russia and Iran. The problem is that most of the people cannot connect the dots. Jewish, who are heavily voted for democrats, are still convinced that no one is going to come for their children. Even today, when their children are physically assaulted on college campuses, they will continue voting Democrats. These people will be walking to the gas chamber and still will be denying that democrats are anti-semitic.

Yes, it will not be safe for Israel tourists or athletes to be in Paris this summer.

Good. I'm not sure who they think they're rallying to their cause by blocking traffic. Absolutely asinine tactics (which doesn't even get into the absurdity of their message).

What is terrifying to me is your reply. There are both-side extremist agitators at protests, right here on DCUM, in Gaza (Hamas) and Israel (Netanyahu and ilk). Willfully blind, I am not. Answer the questions above.

Insensitive choice of words. Do you have a college student? Are you Jewish? How about you cite ALL assaults on ALL campuses, and ALL profiles of the assaulted (Jewish, Muslim, white, POC, student, non student, right or left leaning). Then do the same for ALL students vs non students arrested. Do you think for a minute there aren’t trouble makers? Radicalized outsiders? Funding from bad actor groups?
