Why do I think that there is Russian/Right Wing influence and or money pushing the pro Hamas protesters? [View all]

And or supporting the pro Israeli side too. I woke up this am to see Mike Johnson asking for the
President of Columbia to be fired because of the assault on domestic tranquility because of
the protests on campus but that mother fucker has been pretty damn quite as per all the Free
Dumb caucus members who gave guided tours of the US Capitol or otherwise supported the
J-6th attempted coup.

No proof on my part but just a “gut feeling.” Now, I might be wrong because Botany =

Stirring up domestic problems such as installing Trump as President, QAnon, Proud Boys, passing
off misinformation as real news, and now this? Maybe my spidey senses are off but I think there
is more to these conflicts then meets my eyes.
