So in a period of less than 2 months, individuals openly claiming to be motivated by the “free Palestine” movement have:

- Tried to burn down the home of the Jewish Pennsylvania Governor with his family inside.

- Executed a couple leaving a Jewish museum in DC

- Thrown Molotov cocktails at elderly Jewish people advocating to free hostages in Colorado.

The intifada is already here. The people who tried to downplay this threat should be ashamed.


i would downplay it at all. if I was out with clearly Jewish organization I would be worried, and probably would not participate.

But we should be clear about the cause. It is not Oct 7. It started long before that with Israeli stealing Palestinian land and terrorizing innocent children.

Seems like lone attacker.


He looks like he escaped from the set of Sons of Anarchy. But let's not pretend his motives are mysterious. Right on this thread, people are saying that the violence will not end and Jews will live in fear.

Jeff. How can you delete random right-wing comments but allow actual threats of violence to stand?


Please look to the lower right-hand corner of each message where you will see a link saying "report". Contrary to popular belief, that was not put there simply to take up space. In fact, if you click on it, you can let me know about messages that you believe are inappropriate.

In response to your question, I can quite easily leave posts that I don't see. In fact, that is what happens by default because I need to see a message in order to remove it. Had you reported that post instead of replying to it, I would have removed it. Now, because you quoted it, I guess we are stuck with it.

This isn't a threat. PP isn't saying they're going to harm anyone. They're (rightly) pointing out that violence and theft beget violence and theft.

Leaving people in peace is peaceful. Not doing that should leave you concerned about retribution. Applies to everyone everywhere.

You cannot possibly believe that comment was just an observation. It was a clear threat that anyone who believes in a Jewish homeland should live in fear.

So can it be argued that the recent speeches at colleges have been a form of stochastic terrorism?

You can argue it but it would be a stupid argument. What do you think is more likely to cause people to turn to violence:

1) An address at a college commencement calling for an end to genocide; or

2) The actual genocide?

In fact, it could be argued that by outlawing or otherwise making peaceful protest impossible, the current climate is making violent protest more likely.

Let me guess, these victims are guilty because of some nebulous connection with the IDF?

They are literally burning Jews.

Agreed. That also includes Israeli politicians, or any US politician who support a Palestinian genocide - even though their inaction. All civilian killings are appalling.


No one really cares if you're promoting violence against Palestinians though. I mean Republicans Rep. Tim Walberg and Randy Fine have both called for the destruction and nuking of Gaza.

You clearly lack an accurate understanding of the definition of “threat”. There is NOTHING about that post that constitutes a “threat”.

Awful, but you really don't want to know what zionists are doing to the Palestinians. On a considerably larger, and systemic scale.

And yet, these people are not members of the IDF.

No one is outlawing peaceful protests, though.

Also, there is no "actual genocide" occurring. Hamas attacked innocent Israeli families, and now there is a war that could end if Hamas simply turned over the hostages.

Are you actually saying people peacefully marching in Boulder deserved this?
