[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should this not be something Biden should be updating the American public?[/quote]

No.  Why do you think he should?  US foreign policy is not dictated by entitled college kids living on Daddy's $$$$ and who have never, and will never,  serve their county in the military or in any other way.  The frightening aspect is that many of these dilatantes will be in positions of authority and national importance some day.

The Viet Nam demonstrations did influence national politics and the upshot was that we got Nixon.  I must admit that Nixon was a kindergartener compared to  Trump but that's another story.

I'm so tired of idiots like you.  These kids are on the right side of history.  The behavior of the government of Israel is not defensible.  They are committing war crimes in Gaza.  The events of 10/7 were horrific, but they do not justify the continued slaughter of innocent Gazans.  These students have the right intentions and are quite brave.

What is disgusting is a hypocritical GOP that supports anti-Semitic white supremacists on one side but are quite happy to use this situation to undermine higher education and try to score political points in an election year.  They are absolutely full of BS and don't really give two hoots about any Israelis or Jews or higher education.  They just want political power and Trump in the Presidency.  Disgusting hypocritical charlatans and so many of you fall for it.[/quote]

The naivete is all you. You really think these protests are grass-roots college kids? The students are so silly to think they are anything more than pawns to some seriously funded, bad acting organizations, who want to see nothing more than Hamas stay in power in Gaza. How can you support any student, person, or organization who supports Hamas? And also, anybody who doesn't understand why the US must support Israel are deniers. Period. There is no other explanation.[/quote]

Don't support Hamas.

Don't support Israel.

Want the country I was born in, live in, and pay taxed in to stop supporting Israel, at least unconditionally.

There's no denial going on here. The denial is on your end in thinking that your love for Israel must be shared by others, otherwise they are flawed in some way. The denial is in thinking that others must bow before Emperor Netanyahu like you have. Get over yourself. You're not chosen.

And when you play the tired game of trying to create credibility around your views by arguing that you're "not even Jewish!", just know that nobody believes you and that nobody is chosen. Not you, not "them", not anybody. A big part of the poison in this well of conflict emanates from that core belief of superiority. If it was only abandoned for one minute, a peaceful coexistence might be possible.

But if you keep thinking you're better than others, and that everyone else is to blame for the conflict you ALWAYS seem to find surrounding you, you'll never find it. And you'll never have it. Is that what you want? For yourself? For generations of Jews (and Arabs) to follow? No peace? Seriously? Because it's not coming through the vengeful "take to or leave it" apartheid treatment that exists in the region. Israel can try to kill everyone who opposes it, and the army arrayed against it will just grow and grow and grow. Can't kill fast enough. Barely killed 5% of Gaza and the train is already derailing.

But there's a way out. It involves compromise and accountability. We'll see it if happens. I hope for everyone's sake that the ONLY side that can change the direction here (Israel) chooses to do so. Save that horseshit about the Palestinians being able to change the direction by turning over hostages, or rejecting Hamas through some imagined formal ceremony, or whatever. Those distractions would do NOTHING to change the dynamic controlled by Israel. And you know that. So the choice is for Israel to make ... no peace and eventual dissolution of the state in its current form, or peace.[/quote]
