Oooh, this is a fun game. Let me try:

-Hamas is the elected government of Palestine and numerous polls have shown that Hamas enjoys widespread support among Palestinians

-Hamas is a surrogate of Iran

-Iran’s leadership also expressly supports Hezbollah, which has launched numerous attacks against US citizens and military personnel, killing hundreds of Americans.

Ergo, anyone who supports Palestinians supports terrorism and violence against Americans.

Is that how your logic works?

Palestinians have not been allowed to vote since 2006, in part because the Israeli government decided it was better to play nice with Hamas leadership in Qatar than to extend basic human rights to Palestinians in Gaza.

In the meantime, Israel has held a series of free and fair elections in which they have chosen a bloodthirsty nationalist regime over and over and over again.

And when they had that election they voted for Hamas. And every meaningful poll conducted since that election shows strong ongoing support for Hamas.

No clean hands in this one.

And not unlike every - single - neighbor in the past, they have more than ample justification for their animus.

It’s called anti-semitism. I am sure you’re well aware of what that is.

No, it’s called “accountability and consequences for your behavior”, which radical, extremist Zionists like you seem to think only applies to others.

Everyone - as in, EVERYONE - that has had the displeasure of being mistreated by you … not only are they not victims, but YOU are actually the victim because they all magically conspired against you and forced you to harm them!

Grow TF up already. Join the rest of us who understand that accountability and consequences are not just for the unchosen ones.

I think things would be a lot clearer on college campuses if the protest were on ALL of the current wars and not so focused on the one between Israel and Gaza.

If the message was clear that all lives mattered around the world and that it doesn't matter what country you live in and under what rule, then there would be no argument.

However, when the protesters focus in on one area only and ignore the rest, it does make you wonder where the funding is coming from.

The idiocy of this comment is astounding.
More than half the population in Gaza is under 18 now. At MOST 8% of the population currently living in Gaza voted for Hamas. Imagine holding the entire population accountable for a party that was funded and propped up by Israel. Should all Americans accountable for voting for Trump and his policies? Bush who invaded Iraq and killed 1 million plus?

Meanwhile in Israel, a poll showed less than 2 percent believe too much destructive firepower is being used in Gaza. Even more horrifying, close to 60 percent said they were using too little destructive firepower. Israeli society has always been genocidal, racist, fascist with widespread support of the occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleaning of the Palestinians.

Even the first prime minister Ben Gurion and noted member of the terrorist organization Irgun, made clear his desire to ethnically cleanse Palestinians in the 1930s.
"We must expel Arabs and take their places...and, if we have to use force... then we have force at our disposal."
"Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down"

We get it. Arabs good, Jews bad. No middle ground. Thanks for your clarification

Israel isn't just Jewish people. You are sick.

Did I say it was?

Yep.

If the message was clear that all lives mattered around the world and that it doesn't matter what country you live in and under what rule, then there would be no argument.

Which of the wars does the US spend billions and billions of our tax dollars to support?

Yeah, that’s great and all. Two kinda relevant issues, though.

1. This isn’t a war, it’s an actual annihilation (which we ironically always hear is the existential threat facing those doing the annihilating in this case).

2. We are directly, irrefutably enabling and funding this annihilation.

If you can point to another contemporaneous annihilation that we are directly enabling and funding, I’ll be happy to look into it.

Until then, no - we don’t need to emphasize that all lives matter. Only one type of life has been obliterated using U.S. funding and weaponry this century in an absolute one-sided annihilation: and that one type pf life is the one that Israel selects as their victim du jour.

I recall a 20+ yr war effort in Afghanistan that led to zero campus encampments.

The US led war on terror killed nearly 200,000 afghanis. No one on campuses gave a shit you sniveling, sickening a-hole.

And here’s the issue. What’s different about this war than those? I’ll wait for your answer.

I don’t think there was anything perfect about the Afghanistan war. But I would be really troubled and probably marching in the streets if I had heard we were repeatedly bombing hospitals, schools, medical convoys and putting a cordon around civilian areas resulting in widespread famine and lack of medication for things like childbirth. I never heard we did anything like that.

My kids are part Jewish, most of my friends are Jewish……I don’t think ima antiSemetic. But I am very very troubled by how Israel is gojng about this war, and really disappointed that the Israeli people don’t seem as troubled.

I also was pretty shocked to learn that apparently everyone knew hamas was building all those tunnels under civilian areas for decades … it seems like everyone just watched a powder keg grow with people globbkmg gasoline on it, for years.
