Israel-Palestine Drama Thread

Because January 6 was really a false flag operation by the DoJ?

That's what the gullible fools in cuckoo land / bizarro world believe.

No no no that’s not it

Good to hear that you're not a gullible fool attempting to insinuate that January 6 might have been a false flag operation.

said the Selma PD in 1965

Apples to oranges - Did the protesters march across the bridge or stand on it blocking traffic? Did authorities arrest them for blocking the bridge or did they team with a white posse/mob to prevent them from crossing and then physically assault the protesters? Authorities are capable of arresting protesters who break the law without bigotry and unnecessary violence.

As Ganny said "If you believe in your cause then so be it, but you'll still take the charge going on your record." Anyone arrested in Selma should be proud to have stood up for what was right and getting arrested. In the future, pro-Palestinian protesters might be thought of in the same positive light as Selma and other civil rights protesters. They might not.

Granted, I wasn't alive yet, but I don't remember the Selma bridge protestors blocking the bridge - they marched across it, or at least tried to, on their way to Montgomery. In the first march, you had the cops break it up a peaceful march on Bloody Sunday. The second march ended before it really began as the protestors stopped in respect of a temporary injunction barring the march. And then finally in the third march they had a federal escort the whole way. I don't really see the similarity. They didn't block anyone's access to anything, and with the stopping of the second march, they even responded to the courts who said they couldn't march. Today's anti-Israel/pro-Hamas protestors are doing a disservice if they were to try to make a connection to the Civil Rights movement of the '50's and '60's.

Well, you do have to ask yourself considering Joey the vindictive Rotten, has been calling the people that voted for Trump the most dangerous thing in America right now….. and the Dems are convinced that Jan 6th was parallel with 9-11 and a heinous insurrection

why weren’t they stopped with lethal force? I mean according to you guys they were coming to take over the government……

“Students at Columbia University have been alerted that all in-person classes will be held virtually through the end of the semester as anti-Israel protesters have taken over the campus. Columbia President Minouche Shafik set a deadline of midnight Tuesday to reach an agreement in negotiations with anti-Israel protester”

Sweet … only in America

Civil disobedience has a rich history. And it doesn’t only happen in America.

So yeah, cancel classes at a 68k a year university because the admin has allowed campus crazies to take over.

Meanwhile, another SEC school sets am example of how the protests should be handled.

I like Ben Sasse. Doesn’t that make him a RINO?

Liking Florida right now, those cop beating punks that fled out of New York City and went to Florida, got the heck out of there quick because they found out they enforce the law

I didn’t say you have to like it or that it’s not disruptive or a nuisance. Or that there shouldn’t be consequences. Cracking some hippie skulls used to be a pastime. It’s what happens when you fully support a genocide.

But that’s part of the point.

Nazis….simply more disciplined and better at following instructions. Prolly got a permit too.

Glad you agree that cracking the skulls of those who agree with the genocide of Jews and Israel is the point. You’re coming around.

If you mean that with any degree of sincerity you are terribly ignorant to what’s been happening. Expremusts snd leaders in both sides suck. Hamas terrorists and Netanyahu trying to avoid prison.

Send them to Columbia and let both sides slaughter each other although theirs not that many of em

What do student protesters at US universities want?

They are demanding that their schools, many with massive endowments, financially divest from Israel. Divestment means to sell or otherwise drop financial ties.

Student activists say that companies doing business in or with the nation of Israel are complicit in its ongoing war on Gaza - and so are the colleges that invest in those companies.

University endowments fund everything from research labs to scholarship funds, mostly using returns from millions - and billions - of dollars in investments. They own shares of large companies from Amazon to Microsoft, and put money into private equity, hedge funds and index funds.

Divesting from companies doing business in or with Israel would be complicated and have huge financial implications for a university's funds considering that would mean that they could own stock in Google, Amazon, etc.

If they're going to do this shouldn't they also divest from any institutions that might fund Palestinian or other terrorists?

Because they were caught unprepared with their pants down. When they thought there was going to be a BLM protest they were in combat gear. Had the crowd been lefties they would still be trying to remove the bloodstains as opposed to only one protester getting shot. Even a simpleton can see that the authorties always face the lefties and have the fascists behind them.

I bet most of the white Capital Police voted for Trump before he sicced the mob on them

Yes. And I wouldn't be surprised if many already have. The two are not seen as equally evil by western civilization

I would say that they're roughly equivalently equal in their evilness when you consider how Israel got started.

What your position be if Native Americans demanded they be given back the land that was taken from them and emphasized their point with attacks on "settlers"?

[houndawg]

Why would you think otherwise?

In general, yes, protesting is perfectly fine and should be allowed. I do think there has been some overreach on the side of folks trying to quell these protests. With that said, there also no doubt that there's either a good amount of antisemitism out there or also a whole lot of ignorance out there (and it can be both, some of these protestors don't come off as terribly bright) when they start asking for violence against Jews (and demanding the intifada to be brought here pretty much implies that).

I think that antizionism and antisemitism are two different things that you are conflating

There is a lot of both out there.

Yep. As well as some agitators on both sides.

Lol nice deflection from the fact that the antisemitism from the left DWARFS that from the right right now. The left owns it.

We’re all native Americans.

Most of these leftist campus protesters have shown themselves to be mentally ill with still wearing of masks (esp outside) 2 years after Covid essentially ended.

Why haven’t the these leftist campus loons been protesting when FAR greater numbers of muslims have been killed in muslim on muslim true genocide (ex the 8 year Yemeni civil war). Where are there ‘Free Yemen’ protests?

Israels Gaza offensive began in Nov. Where were the leftist loons’ campus tent city protests then and in Dec, Jan, Feb, March?
