Penn has had a very, very rough time. |
And what would you say if they were tearing down pictures of missing Palestinians? ![]() ![]() |
It’s idealistic to tear down a picture of a hostage? |
Let's not forget about this upstanding citizen, who promised to kill Jews on campus:

I would say say it's anti-Palestinian, but not Islamophobic. |
A Jewish man was beaten to death by a Palestinian in LA and died today.
Another local mother where I am has children in college and several of their friends were beaten by pro Palestinian protestors on campus. Kids ended up in the hospital. Another local mother in NYC reported that he daughter was cornered by a pro Palestinian group of students at her high school in Brooklyn and had to say that she was anti Israel in order to get away from them. Pathetic. This movement has completely discredited itself with its violence. |
Yeah, I totally remember that. It was just five weeks ago. Despicable acts committed by Hamas, which should be dismantled and held fully accountable for their horrific crimes. |
No, Israelis aren't bothering with kidnapping Palestinians. They just kill them. That said, I don't like that people are tearing down the posters. It could be motivated by antisemitism for some, but for many it's just a protest of what the Israeli government is doing. Acts of protest against the Israeli government are not automatically antisemitic. |
I couldn’t even begin to get inside the miserable mind of someone who tears down these posters. What empty lives these people must have. |
You could, you just don't want to. The Israeli gov't may have killed one of their family prior to 10/7 so they harbor a grudge. |
Maybe idealistic is the wrong word. Maybe naive? They probably think they are helping the Palestinian cause by fighting propaganda. They probably view it as an act of protest. I’m not saying they are right. But they took down some posters and walked away. It’s not a violent act. I would say if you want to change their minds about taking down the posters , put the camera down and have a conversation with them about what they mean to you and how you think it’s hurtful without being confrontational. I think a little one on one engagement can go a long way. |
And the same advice applies to people tearing down posters of innocent hostages. |
The randos tearing down these posters? I have no evidence to support your claim. Rather, I see what looks to be very unhappy and angry people. |
I would go with mean and dumb. |
They are doing the work of Hamas. I can only assume they support what Hamas did on 10/7. |
