LOL. If you think squishy ivory tower administrators restricting open parades in favor of terrorists and suggesting Jewish students shouldn’t be beaten is “shocking”, you’re in for a hell of a ride.

Regular people are done with the CRT, anti-colonialist, fake lefty revolutionary crap. For a while it was sort of cute, in a vaguely pathetic way… like your precocious younger sibling getting into music for the first time. But it’s over now. The leaders of this crap are legitimately sick and should be deported; but the country is collectively waking up to the absolute rot among the young, casual left that those people have wrought.

Really because most people I know are waking up to the fascist impulses of the right — you can’t just deport or put in camps the people you don’t like.

And a lot of young people are pretty shocked by the number of people affirmatively calling for the killing of more civilians. Think Israel has killed more civilians now than Russia has in Ukraine.

The real rot is treating people who have done nothing wrong but be outside your group as vermin that need to be exterminated.

+1 but the people you are talking to are maybe 50 and over and boomers who are pretty fascist (as evidenced in their messages here). The good news is, they are old, and soon the younger generations will take over. The majority of people are not like what you see on DCUM- I hardly even come here anymore because it’s just so … old and fascist and vengeful and murderous. But when you step outside DCUM, you see that these people being grumpy and mad online about stuff like this are the true minority. They know it and it makes them very very mad (online).

Had to chuckle at this. You’re either a college freshman or irredeemably dim.

I agree, but I think because GenX is parent to GenZ they will be more supportive of this takeover than Boomers *generally* were to their own children.

Getting GenX to care about anything is a tall order.

Proud GenXer here. True dat! I’m not Israeli. I’m not Palestinian. It’s not my problem. My world doesn’t stop if Palestine is destroyed. My world doesn’t stop if Israel is destroyed. Their hate for each other is their problem not mine.

But your tax dollars are being used to fund a genocide against innocent Palestinians. You don’t have to pick a side but you should care that your money is being used to fund the terrorism of the Israeli government.

DP that agrees with the GenXer.

Look, our tax dollars are used for a lot of evil crap that we may disagree with. There is no reason just to pick one and draw the line there. And the idea of getting all worked up over something that does not directly affect me makes zero sense.

These folks are engaged in a biblical blood feud across millennia. The best thing we could do is just get out of the way and let them murder each other.

Jewish Gen-Xer - and my world could change if Israel is destroyed. So, yeah, I do care about that.

I presume that you are American? You should put your loyalty to the US first. There is no US strategic national security interest there. Sorry.

Why is no one mentioning the http://jewbelong.org/ truck that had rocks thrown at it while going through GW's campus?

A person threw a large rock at the JewBelong truck and yelled “Free Palestine”. The truck contains the messages, “Let’s be clear: Hamas is your problem too”, and “We’re just 75 years since the gas chambers. So no, a billboard calling out antisemitism is not an overreaction”.
The truck was in D.C. for the @jfederations march for Israel.

The national security interest is having an ally in the region, rather than a terrorist organization. And that's not me saying all Palestinians are terrorists; it's me saying the leadership/government is Hamas, which is a terrorist organization. If Hamas succeeds in destroying the State of Israel, they're not going to suddenly give up power for more peaceful Palestinians to run a State of Palestine. It's also in our strategic national security interest because Israel is an ally with us against Iran.

Oh, and also, your "loyalty to the US" line reeks of antisemitic dual loyalty tropes. Please look it up and, assuming it was an honest mistake and you didn't know the history of the phrase, consider changing your language.
