I support a democratic country defending itself from terrorists. Sorry reality is triggering to you: The Anti-Defamation League has tracked several instances of protesters expressing support for Hamas and the Oct. 7 attack. A protester at Columbia, for example, held up a sign reading "Al-Qasam's next targets" with an arrow pointing towards nearby pro-Israel counter-protesters (referring to Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas). It says students at various schools have also waved signs glorifying figures associated with U.S.-designated terror groups, used pro-Intifada slogans and called for destroying Zionism and either hounding or getting rid of Zionists altogether. New York City Mayor Eric Adams spoke out against antisemitic incidents and hate speech at Columbia in a statement that referenced specific incidents, including a woman yelling "We are Hamas" and student groups chanting "We don't want no Zionists here." https://www.npr.org/2024/04/23/1246594938/pro-palestinian-campus-protests-columbia-yale-nyu |

That goal is fine for those people, for that special interest. Makes sense. But then why persist with the pretense that U.S. foreign policy is based on anything other than who spends the most to buy the most influential of the political elite? I mean, that’s essentially the argument you’re making … The ROI on those donations to AIPAC must be astronomical … no wonder Jewish Americans don’t just route their $$$ directly to Israel! $70 - $80M to have control over that much foreign aid and influence in Congress and the U.N.? Wow, that is the best money ever spent! |

Um... because they left when told to? Are you really this stupid? |

I'd sure as hell rather align myself with a democratic country than a terrorist state, but you do you. |

Align yourself, subjugate yourself … toma-toh, toma-toe. |

Great news: LAPD just called into USC to make arrests. Following lead of Texas.
Good for them. |

So, wait a minute. You must also be against any group lobbying for Ukraine aid, correct? DP |

Image if love for Israel would not mean blind support for Netanyahu |

The morons involved are simply ignorant lemmings. Who in their right mind would take up for terrorists who execute gay people and treat women like property? |

So you support Hamas - a terrorist group that executes gay people and treats women like slaves. Right? |

Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQ of any ethnic group in the world. Since 1950, 29 percent of Nobel Prizes have been awarded to Ashkenazi Jews, who represent 0.25 percent of the global population. |

ABSOLUTELY! That was the first qualification made - and all similar organizations! No foreign country or governmental agency / entity should be allowed to lobby on U.S. soil (either directly or through an org like AIPAC), and U.S. officials who accept $$$ from them should be prosecuted aggressively. We have enough $$$ in federal government payroll that these boobs should be able to competently formulate foreign policy (based on U.S. interests only!) without allowing to also accept a pile of $100.00 bills folded into an origami colossus every quarter. I mean, I know you had an agenda in thinking you had a gotcha! moment there, but please read what’s written before seeing boogeyman where there are none. |

Why is this either / or for you? Israel and Hamas both suck. So do some Israelis and some Palestinians. The rest of the Israelis and Palestinians are OK. Again, what’s with the either / or? I think they both suck … |
