Gaza war and College Campus Protests

Are we supposed to care about thought crime arrests when the crimes that actually occurred at UCLA (and which should be some of the easiest slam dunk prosecutions in the history of criminal law) have not even been prosecuted?

Pope Francis has spoken out against the cruelty in Gaza twice in as many days, as I’m sure you’ve all seen. Yesterday, he said, “Yesterday, children were bombed. This is not war. This is cruelty. I want to say this because it touches my heart.” Today, he said, “And with pain I think of Gaza, of so much cruelty, of the children being machine-gunned, of the bombings of schools and hospitals. What cruelty.”

I hope the world is listening to this voice of kindness and humanity.

There has been plenty of cruelty to go around, it's inappropriate and biased to single out the Gazans as if they suffered exclusively. They just suffered quantitatively more thereafter, which is not necessarily unjust or inappropriate, given that this was precipitated by Gazans on Oct. 7.

He speaks on behalf of 1.4 billion people.

You? You’re just a racist, Islamophobic anti-semite who conflates the actions of Hamas with all Gazans, apparently.

Wait you can not say that. The Israeli killed, raped, used as human shields, etc so many Palestinians before Oct7. Israeli killed more Israeli on Oct 7 vs Hamas because the IDF used artillery on their own people.

This is an example of the "sociopathy of denial" that we so often see here. It is generally characterized by: lack of empathy, deflection of blame, rationalization, distortion, manipulation, and gaslighting.

Israel has been committing atrocities against Palestinians for decades, and this has been going on since long before October 7.

60 minutes segment on the pager and walkie talkie sabotage this fall was pretty interesting.

It was fascinating. Israel sold Hezbollah the booby-trapped walkie talkies ten years ago. All this time, Hezbollah members have been walking around with a bomb in their pocket that Israel could detonate at any moment. Remarkable. Then Israel sold them the booby-trapped pagers and the results were devastating for Hezbollah. An absolutely brilliant operation.

Pope spoke against Jews? Now that is new!

Huh? In your world view once cannot express sympathy and sorrow for people going through the horrors of living a second winter displaced from their homes, without enough to eat, and in fear every day (since time and time again Israel is striking where they said they would not strike before)?

Can you take a moment to reflect on how this point of view may be the problem?

Unfortunately unlike the Nakba which Israel also did/does not want the world discussing, here the suffering is being shown in photos/videos in front of our eyes. There is no hiding it.

I am happy to also express my sympathy for others who are suffering. I feel badly for the hostages’ families but if one is weighing the level of harm, these families get to sleep safely in a warm bed tonight whereas the families of detained Palestinians do not.

Bottom line, the suffering is self-imposed. No Oct. 7, no suffering. Raise, support, vote for, shelter, hide terrorists, and this is what happens. Engage in terror and yes the terrorists will be killed or detained. No sympathy, no empathy for them. Live peacefully and then we can have a converation about a way forward.

No. There was just as much Israel brutality before oct7 as after. Bottom line Israel has to kill the people it stole from. No sympathy for Nazis committing a Holocaust.

That's not islamophobioc. That's war. War is hell.

Nazis were only a small part of the german popuation but we bombed the whole country.
Same with the japanese imperialists and the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki.

Israel is prosecutig a war. A war that hamas started.
