There are a lot of similarities between progressives and neo-nazis today. They both subscribe to the old trope that Jews run the world. They both see things through a very rigid ideological lens. They both have very retrogade beliefs about the role of women - I mean just look at the protestors celebrations of Hamas, one of the world's most profoundly misogynistic organizations. And I think it fair to say that no one wants to work in an office with such purveyors of hate, whether they be progressives or neo-nazis.

The pathetic marchers in Charlottesville were all doxxed and have been dealing with the consequences of their vile beliefs. The same should happen with the progressive students that are espousing similar hateful sentiments. When students are chanting "We are Hamas" and "Long live Hamas" that is not merely protesting against the Netanyahu government. That is something much deeper. And it's frightening.

Does anyone ever wonder why we'll shield felons from the consequences of their actions, but people who merely protest against the jews get attacked for the rest of their lives for it?

The response to these protests is going to breed a whole new generation of antisemites and will breath new life into the Jews control .... conspiracies

I thought the protesters were against Israel and not Jews generally?

Nice non-violent protests. I imagine that burning things down comes next.

Oh, come now. They're mostly peaceful.

Trending the wrong way. DNC is going to see some real ugliness, which will help Trump.

Looks like mainstream America is sick of your Middle Eastern wars. Look at Candance Owens, Tucker Carlson. They are all sick of your wars.

Perhaps. But mainstream America always sides with Israel over Hamas. You won’t find a single “we support Palestine” flags in middle America, but you see “we support Israel” flags everywhere.

There is nothing mainstream America despises more than coddled, privileged rich kids “protesting” something which they know nothing about.

I live in the middle of the country - in Wisconsin (not Madison ) there are far fewer "we support Israel" signs than in Potomac MD (where I'm from), you know that 100,000 + "mainstream, middle Americans" showed up in crappy rainy/sleety weather to do a protest vote against Biden? The medieval methods of siege warfare plus the racist garbage coming out of Israeli government minister's mouths coupled with the Arab and refugee population in middle America means middle America looks different than what you imagine.

I’m from Wisconsin. Sounds like you live in a blue ‘burb.

have you looked at the new maps? Pretty much anything touching water is blue/purple and we've a lot of lakes. Fox valley isn't exactly a bastion of liberalism.

What? Fox point?

haha goes to show how much you know- fox point is lovely blue suburb between whitefish bay and Mequon. and they have large active Jewish communities - had a Hanukkah parade - was very cute, looked like something from a circa 1960's film. But a lot of them are also appalled by the current right wing government even if they do support the settlements on the WB.

Fox valley is Appleton/oshkosh etc where the lovely republican sr. from WI is from and there are a LOT of Arabs and refugees settled in that area and its not as reliably pro- sending our $$ to foreign wars as you think.

Some things are more important than political horse races, you know.

Yes supporting Israel will cost Biden. Supporting Israel will have negative consequences for US politicians. It is just a matter of time till the US pulls the pledge on Israel. Huge mistake on making Israel a left /right issue.

Funny. For me, the well-being of the United States of America is FAR more important than anything happening in Israel/Gaza.

Helping the poor and working class, the environment, protecting women's rights--all priorities for me.

Perhaps your loyalties lie elsewhere.

You're responding to a different poster. I'm very familiar with the Fox Valley area.

I think you're dramatically overestimating the demographics and politics based on your bubble.

Interesting. If the protesters elect Trump, I think you'll see a rather different outcome than you expect.

Guys, you're all making this way too complicated

You don't actually need to know anything about history, or settlements, or speak Hebrew or Arabic

Just use this one simple heuristic: if one side in a conflict uses suicide attacks against civilians, take the other side

Wouldn’t it make more sense to protest the political leaders making the decisions to fund the war instead of the universities that are subsidizing their education? Don’t they know that their tuition dollars don’t even cover the cost of their own education- even for those who are paying full tuition and I’m guessing that many of the o student protestors are gettin merit aid. Dont’ they have any respect for their fellow students who want to access the education that they are paying for? Do any of them support sending support to Ukraine? They just come off as idiots who could use more time in the classroom honing their critical thinking skills.

Did you feel the same about protestors demanding university endowments divest from South Africa? Those protests went over relatively well in the 70s and 80s. Maybe the protestors are realizing that Israel and it's have more power over US institutions and are doubling down.

The protests against South Africa didn't start after a terrorist attack, the protestors did not claim to sympathize with a terrorist group, and the protestors did not attack white people in the US because of what was going on in SA.

It started after decades of terrorist attacks, do people not know history anymore? The protestors were in support of terrorists then, just as now. In both cases the terrorism was viewed as justified. The historical parallels are eerie.

Fun fact, we considered Mandela a terrorist until 2008: https://time.com/5338569/nelson-mandela-terror-list/

Progressives seem to think electing Trump is going to be awesome for Palestinians.

And they are willing to throw women, workers, the environment, health care, and everything else liberals care about under the bus for their little fantasy.

I tend to agree. There are lines we don't cross. It's speaks to the moral emptiness of our society that we can justify anything these days.

However I cannot stand those dumbsh*t self-righteous kids at their 60k yr school cosplaying radicals, who can’t see they are being used. Especially since we all know they’re going to be groveling for IB jobs in a few years.

I hope you have the same venom for your elected leaders who parrot pro-Israel PR points and pledge to "stand with Israel" to get campaign donations. At least these kids have innocence as their defense. What reasons, other than greed, do these politicians have for being stooges for a foreign government?
