Yikes. I hope they aren’t screening the 40 baked babies, clothesline babies, babies cut from the womb, teenage sister rape, nails in pelvises, mass rape, Gaza hospital nurse, and all of the other fictional chronicles from the past seven months on that screen, too! This fugazi phone call manufactured by Jeffrey Epstein’s minions is terrifying enough!


Why do you hope that?


Do you think it’s ethical that pro-Israel propagandists produced a video that contains nothing more than a factional re-enactment of what they purport would be a call from a terrorist to their parents, and intended to deceive consumers if that video into believing that they actually intercepted and recorded that call - that it was an authentic recording?

You think that’s ethical? I think the kind of people who do that should be placed on an ice floe and shoved out to sea.


You continue to allege that posters are calling for the deaths, execution, etc. of the protesters...yet you're the one doing so, insulting, name calling, etc.


1. I haven’t called for the death of anyone. That’s not my style anyway.

2. I’ve seen replies directly to a poster who replied “100%” when they were specifically asked to confirm that they were calling for the death of not just the protesters doing abhorrent things, but anyone protesting Israeli conduct.


What are the survival prospects of being placed on an ice flow and shoved out to sea?


I don’t know. Probably not great. But since you asked, what are the survival prospects after having the essential infrastructure necessary to sustain life in a region intentionally destroyed to the point where babies are dying in NICU incubators and surgical patients are undergoing major surgeries without anesthesia?

You will never win this battle of words. I’m not Ashkenazi, but I’m also not the one of us the side of the “greater evil” in this dispute.


So...the "change the subject" strategy?


He responded. Said he didn’t know. Suspected not great. That’s responsive.

Changing the subject and manipulating reality seems like a one-sided affair dominated by Israel and its supporters, tbh.

DP. Yes, presumably your "placed on an ice floe and shoved out to sea" wish was rhetorical. As are all the other things that protestors and counter-protestors are saying.


Like the N word and “Kill all Gaza babies”?


Uh, yeah. All the words of US college protestors about the Middle East are rhetorical. If they were in the ME, maybe their words might have a chance of becoming real. But not here.


Where I’m from, calling for a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds and the divestment of a country that commits war crimes recognized by 193 of the world’s 195 nations is quite a bit different than using the N word and calling for the mass murder of children.

Apparently, we don’t swim in the same pond. I am comfortable supporting a ceasefire and the calls for divestment, today and always. But how long have you been an open racist supportive of the mass murder of innocent, defenseless children?


Are you the ice floe poster?

Just asking.

And ftr, the divestment stuff (same as BDS? different?) is idiotic.


Why do you think BDS idiotic? My understanding is that it was a very effective strategy in pressuring South Africa to end apartheid.


Students can ask their universities to divest. And the universities won't. Nor should they.

It’s your opinion that they shouldn’t, but it’s based on your racist support of an apartheid state so who cares?

And they are shocked! Shocked! That their choices have consequences.

Columbia says FAFO. The following was told to students who refuse to leave the encampment by 2pm today.

https://www.npr.org/2024/04/29/1247761719/campus-protests-arrests-suspensions

“You are not permitted to complete the Spring 2024 semester, including participate in classes or exams in-person or remotely or otherwise submit assignments or engage in any activities affiliated with Columbia University," the notice reads. "You may lose the semester. If you are scheduled to graduate, you are no longer eligible."

What a relief this must be for these students. They don't have to associate or be associated with these horrible universities anymore.

It seems like a win-win-win for the student protesters. They got their message out, won't have their resumes sullied, and got valuable practice camping out in makeshift housing.

Won’t have their resumes sullied? How will they get a job with no college degree. Good luck transferring anywhere decent. Good luck applying to grad school. Idiots.

Eh. They could transfer to another school or be re-admitted to Columbia. This will pass pretty soon and they can claim temporary zeitgeist as an excuse.

Maybe. I don’t think others schools will want to touch them. And either way they lose the cost of an entire semester.

The protesters made demands. The university made demands. Each can respond how they wish.

Don’t you understand?! They want vengeance, to destroy them, to ruin their lives! Sure, none of the protests affected them at all. And sure, none of them even attended from Columbia.

That doesn’t matter. They went again Israel. And for that, they want to ruin their lives, drive them into the ground, make ashes of their career prospects, etc.

Ya know, totally normal, adjusted reactions from a people of peace.

Exactly. And other schools and employers can do what they wish with that information. Being a political pawn is not a protected class.
