They theoretically have the advantage in numbers. Unless most of them do sympathize with Hamas. If they had courage they would stand up to the tyrants that are really causing them this pain. Many of them would die. But they could build a future for their children.

Mayor Adams. Props to you. Very unDemocrat.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams slams universities for letting Palestinian flag fly: 'despicable' | Fox News Video
Adams' comments come a day after the NYPD cleared out an occupied building at Columbia University
You're both spewing talking points and talking past each other. Hamas are an extremist militant reactionary force to a colonial occupation. To directly address your talking points, they are both supported by the general populace in Gaza and holding them hostage at the same time. How? Because they do horrible, brutal things that no one likes, including to their own populace. But that brutality is at the same time seen by the imprisoned populace as the last option of resistance against the brutal occupation by force that they're all under. Because they marched peacefully for years and were met only with bullets.
Decades of moderate negotiations, as represented by the PLO, have not just gotten Palestinians nothing, things have actively gotten worse in that time period, with hundreds of illegal Israeli settlements going up for hundreds of thousands of people. Not even in the chaos of Gaza that everyone points to, but open naked land grabs in the West Bank. The peaceful, collaborating West Bank, where if you're an Arab Muslim, born and raised there where your family has lived for centuries, you can't travel or work because you live behind giant walls erected by illegal occupiers who corral you with one of the strongest militaries on Earth. Every five steps an armed checkpoint full of conscripted soldiers who hate you because of your ethnicity/religion and do everything they can to mess with you and spit on you and make your life worse. Why? For one very simple reason. You are not them. So they want you to leave. And they'll do everything they can to get you to.
This is a very long, very complicated, intractable conflict. It is not a good guy/bad guy simple situation. Both sides have burned civilians alive for no other reason than being who they were. The ANC carried out "necklacing"(putting a tire around someone, dousing them in gasoline and lighting it) on apartheid collaborators in South Africa. Belfast had the most bombed hotel in the world at one point because of the Troubles. Humans are a violent species and our struggles are violent. We dropped the bomb on Japan(and mass bombed civilians throughout Europe before that).

Being removed from her record doesn't change the fact that she had been arrested. She lied. As noted, the answer is yes but the conviction has been expunged.
They all look alike. Whatever the flavor of the month protest and riot is about, always the same looking people involved.
Bill Melugan found a UCLA protester need list and the first to things were Vegan and Gluten free food.
LOL what a bunch of liberal dorks.
LOL what a bunch of liberal dorks.
? That's BS, they're literally the ones being doxxed and blacklisted, taking the risk, right now. Just like you losing your job. If you want to get semantic about motivations like you're doing then their apples are actually much more admirable than your oranges, as they're putting themselves at risk for someone else, not themselves, just as you said. Your motivations for standing on principle were selfish, theirs are altruistic.
Biden is showing that he IS a uniter. Bring together Jews, Muslims and Christians.
The republicans in congress are a disgrace.
You seem passionate about this Dion. Why don’t you protest? That is if your motivations are altruistic and not completely motivated by marxist ambitions. However your ideals seem more fascist with the whole jew extermination thing. Maybe that’s really your bag?
You fail to see that for us, the “Marxist ambitions” are altruistic. They are one and the same. We stand in solidarity with oppressed peoples, not the ones doing the oppressing. Freedom for all. That includes you.
A lot of people pointing out how Nicolas Sandmann was vilified by the media for smiling compared to pro-terrorist liberals on campuses.
Marxist ambitions have always turned out great for everyone.
And why are they being doxxed and backlisted? Why are they being arrested?
Me refusing a vaccine didn’t affect anyone else, didn’t affect anyone’s property, didn’t cause someone else to not be able to go about their day.
Look I agree with the sentiment (for the most part) and their right to protest even if I don’t completely buy how genuine or “organic” it all is. I see the same Berkeley students regularly doing the same stuff depending upon what’s fashionable at the time so I tend to question the passion for an issue or just activism in general with these college students.
Personally, I prefer not funding either side as I’ve stated before, America doesn’t have a solution for that type of conflict. That being said, it’s my PO it’s a sad reason to tank your life over here for it.
Iran university offers scholarships to expelled Columbia students - US News - News - Daily Express US
Mohammad Moazzeni, head of Shiraz University in Fars, made the offer to students demonstrating against Israel's actions in its war against Hamas in Gaza, Iranian state-owned outlet Press TV reports.
Can you imagine the alphabet peoples surprise during orientation week?
Seems like a trap.
Yes it did. Had people gotten vaxed initially the virus could've been denied hosts and never gotten as bad as it did. Your disease transmission vector status affects others, whether you want to admit it or not.
Protesting apartheid and genocide is not "sad".
Transmission vector status? Is this where you’re going with this whole back and forth? Oh stop, lol Vaccinated individuals were transmitting it as much as anyone else. You just bought in to the whole “do it for your grandmother” propaganda which I’ll admit was a more effective form of coercion than “do it for a Krispy Kreme” so I get it.
I said it was sad to tank your life for it over here because America has no solution for two sides hellbent on exterminating each other, yall just don’t like the side that’s winning atm. Middle East is a fools game for America.
She just wanted humanitarian aid. They were dying of thirst.
It is absolutely one of the most complicated geography issues ever. Israel was artifically created and given control over an area that didn't choose that solution.
It's a never ending circle of toxic religious based madness now. Palestinians are willing to kill Jews for the land they feel was stolen from them and Jews are willing to cage them in a giant ghetto to keep them at bay.
Neither is willing to concede an inch of territory.
At some point the Palestinians are going to have to move forward and recognize Israel's right to exist.
On the other hand Israel has to recognize the disaster they have created with their continued settlements, incursions and treatment of the Palestinians.
The equivalent here would be if Native Americans were still sending raiding parties into American cities to scalp citizens and the US government was forcing all Natives to remain in reservations as well as taking back more of their land periodically.
Luckily for us the Native Americans have moved on with their lives and aren't still trying to kill us in our sleep.
A group supporting murderous terrorists compared to a group (correctly, as it turned out) that didn’t want to be Guinea pigs?
That’s your comparison?
No they weren't. Eventually when the vaccine was less effective against the variants the vaccinated were transmitting at near the same rates, but at the beginning it wasn't the case at all. We had windows for effective control, we just missed them due to societal inertia.
Same could be said for China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. Easier said than done.
They are now sponsors of terrorism. Great altruistic principles.
They chant for a ceasefire when one can be readily had with Hamas turning over the hostages and giving up power. It’s a real mystery why they haven’t yet.
Everybody with a brain can see that these protests are funded by terrorists and their sympathizers (likely Iran) to put enough pressure on Biden to stop the destruction of Hamas.
That’s it. These kids and their sympathizers (like you) are being used and duped.

“if only everyone had gotten vaccinated at first” has that “real communism hasn’t been tried yet” vibe.
haha...going outside to sh-t in a tent.
Anyone heard about this? If this is true, EconDion won't be posting here much longer.

But, you do not support freedom.
Which political movement is more in favor of freedom, the Libertarian Party of America (as weak it is) or your beloved USSR?
You are not interested in freedom- you are interested in power.
