In a way, this seems like 1968 all over again. The convention is a big magnet for physical confrontation.

November 1968: Richard Nixon was elected.

And this would certainly count as an effective wedge being thrown in the traditional Biden voting blocs

Maybe she's waiting until after the RNC convention to endorse Joe.

Because, Kamala!

Why does AIPAC give money to more GOP members of Congress than Democratic members of Congress (granted more money given to Democrats but less individuals receiving money.

Why is this not an issue?

That's what putin and Bibi are banking on .....

I posted that I didn't think that it was a coincidence that Hamas' attack occurred on Putin's birthday. I said that Hamas and Iran are known allies, as are Iran and Russia. I said that, in my opinion, the two sides are not Israel vs Palestine, but the authoritarians (Netanyahu, Putin, Trump, Hamas leadership, Iranian mullahs, etc. vs the civilians (Israeli and Palestinian). I said that it is known that Tiktok, and other social media, are easily controlled by authoritarians, q.v. Cambridge Analytica. I said that most of the protesters probably couldn't have found Gaza on a map of the Middle East and I asked where were these protesters when Saudi Arabia was using US weapons to commit atrocities in Yemen. I was roundly criticized here and I gave up posting about it.

they're trolling for likes and hits and attention from the media because they're from the bubble wrapped "me me me" generation. In the end, some will be arrested, some will be expelled but still owe the student loan debt and all will be explaining to future employers why the videos of them on the Internet aren't really about anti-Semitism.

for protesting in favor of hamas, they would have to repay their loans without my help. If they wanted to enroll in a different school, it would be on their Dime.

I watched the interviews of some of these kids and their answers were do cavalier when asked about being expelled. They are spoiled brats, not even considering what their parents had invested to send them to college.

We sent three kids to school and later paid off their loans so they could get ahead without debt. They were very grateful.

They refuse individuals to even discuss in public what they stand for." Malcolm Nance.

Article's author is correct. "I assumed individuals who initiated these slogans were uninformed about what they were advocating for. I saw the LGBTQ flag frequently flown among people chanting lines from Hama's charter, and I initially wanted to educate them ... ." But they're not interested in being educated about reality. A fantasy world just like the pseudo-socialist anti-establishment revolution fantasy, and just like that one, anybody not a member is an enemy: immoral, racist, evil.

Assume someone will try Kill the Messenger and whine about Newsweek being right-wing media fake news.

For that very reason. Newsweek has a RW bias. However, I think that the author of this article is making a very good point - the college kids that are cosplaying Gazans have no idea what reality is like under Hamas rule. I had a good friend who is transmasc, and is constantly posting things like "From the River to the Sea." Mind you, they are not Palestinian, but of Greek nationality. I told them to look up how LGBTQ people are treated in Gaza - especially trans people. They kind of ignored me. I eventually unfriended them.

Only a very brief ID is given, nothing about his background. Just asking....

A lot of info about him is available. He is anti-Hamas and was detained and tortured for his stand. A lot more as well.

As if the above Malcolm Nance quote turns into right-wing fake news depending on who retweets it. That's just stupid! Yet people try trolling this way all the time.

At least we don't have to hear every five minutes about Jeff Bezos personally oligarching every single article in The Washington Post and how everything's a corrupt corporate media industrial conglomerate complex so don't read or watch anything, just get emotional and mad at capitalism or whatever the game was. That was very popular for awhile.

People should just read the damn words, or listen, and discuss what the author says instead of obsessing about purity tests or that they heard the person yelled at a puppy once. That would require thought, though.

about for quite awhile!

Of course there will be those who don't like the message so they will try to "Kill the Messenger" so to speak

I'm Grateful you posted! It needs to be out there.

True, because yelling "We are Hamas!!" doesn't just border on but is fucking insane

And you know Putin has skin in the game with his bot farms, propaganda pushers and provocateurs out in force, blending in with those who yell "We are Hamas!!" Like Hamas is a 'good guy' here? .

When they are using their chants and fly their flag? It is obvious where their sympathies lie.

But I think that it's equally inaccurate to insist that NONE of them are. Painting all the people involved in these protests with such a broad brush doesn't help anyone.

I guess I'll probably be flamed for insinuating that everyone on the pro-Palestinian side isn't a perfect angel, but if so, that's too bad. I am nowhere near ready to give out halos OR sets of horns wholesale to such a huge and varied swath of humans. I'm sure some of them have noble intentions, but they are all humans, and humans are a mixed bag. I don't see why these folks would be any different.

Thanks for posting this, Deep State Witch.

That was easy.

Because what comes after condemning Hamas is a concerted drive by the global community and the Palestinians themselves to rid the world of Hamas terrorists. There can be no two-state solution and a true ceasefire, for example, as long as Hamas has any role in a future Palestinian government.

so unless Mossad is sending hit squads to other countries to kill or extradite them, Hamas is a convenient excuse for more violence against people who are not Hamas.

what's your point?

are always supporting what the protesters are doing Would Read THIS!!

n/t

should be read to the protestors, this is someone from the region who has a different perspective and may enlighten the protestors.

thank you for posting this
