How can people, college students of all people, be this stupid? There are different aspects of the Israel and Palestine issue that can be debated but here you have students marching in support for Palestine admitting they don't know what they are protesting. Why go to a rally offering your support if you don't understand what you are protesting.

They don't have to know why.  They are supporting the underdog, the poorer people, and the minority.  They are being redeemed for their privileged ways by getting justice.

BLM all over again.

With more than 34,000 Palestinians dead and counting, which includes a large portion of that number being women and children, no one needs to know the exact details to protest the genocide and ethnic cleansing currently occurring in Gaza by Israel.

Majority of Palestinians would slit an American's throat any day of the week and twice on Sunday if given the chance.

They teach their children in schools to hate Americans.  The hate starts very young.

The olive branch needs to be extended by both sides.  In my opinion the Palestinians don't even know where their olive branch is.  Or even what's it for.

The college students (and I use the term loosely, student implies intelligence) like to be involved in the current "in" trend.

Never mind that they have no idea as to what the real issue is.  Just that it is popular amongst the social media crowd.

THese morons are being mad just to find somethign to be mad at.  It's the hot topic currently.  They're never happy with their lives, so need to lash out at any given topic.

What? 

Don't need to know the details?  But it's obviously "occurring in Gaza by Israel"? 

don't question the #veryastute...

Kunstler has an interesting take. He says that the protest college girls are sexually frustrated because too many guys are dressing up like women and afraid to even talk to them.

That chick in the video totally looks like someone I used to date back in college. Guarantee if we were dating (especially back in the day) she wouldn't have the energy to run around aimlessly like that.

That number comes from the "High Commissioner’s office", "citing the enclave’s health authorities."

The Palestinian/Gaza health agency has been caught lying many times before.  Seems like there's never any independent verification of these casualties.

Also, there's video footage that the mass grave being blamed on Israel was dug next to the Palestinian hospital months before Israeli forces were in that area.

Sounds like someone is planting evidence ... and their own citizens.

The last sentence in the article, in my opinion, says it all......

Consider the irony ... no, the hypocrisy ... of students trying to occupy portions of college campuses for their "autonomous zones."

All while protesting Israel for allegedly occupying lands some believe is not theirs.

I could dispute your portrayal but instead let me simply point out that supporting Hamas is not the same thing as being against the war. You can protest Israel's attacks on Gaza without glorifying a terrorist organization that raped women and beheaded babies.

Bingo. There seems to be an automatic connection made in their brain that being a minority is synonymous with being oppressed and being a victim. The minority is the victim so they are always morally right.

There was a study where Israel was presented on a map as jews surrounded by muslim countries. When study participants saw this map they viewed Israel as the morally right one. When shown a zoomed in map with Israel surrounding the smaller Palestine they viewed Palestine as the good guys and Israel as the bad guys. I may be recalling small details of the study incorrectly but that was the basic takeaway.

Seeing how Humus is the bad guy, why don't these groups protest Humus?  Rhetorical.

There's been no verification of beheaded babies.  That was based on individual reports and 2nd hand stories.  Even Biden got called out for saying in a press conference he'd seen "confirmed pictures" of that.  When pressed on the matter, the WH walked it back, because no photos exist.  if they did exist, you know social media would have been the first place they would pop up.

White House walks back Biden’s claim he
saw children beheaded by Hamas

US president spokesperson says comments were based on
news reports and claims of Israeli officials.

White House walks back Biden comments that he
had seen pictures of beheaded Israeli children

The White House was forced to walk back on president Joe Biden's
claim to have seen "confirmed pictures" of "terrorists beheading
children" in Israel.

The Israel Defence Force previously claimed that at least 40 babies
were killed in the Kfar Aza kibbutz over the weekend when the Hamas
militant group launched an attack on Israel.

The army later clarified to Anadolu news agency that there was
"no information confirming" allegations that "Hamas beheaded babies".

EEF is spreading fake news (or at least unconfirmed rumors) to make his point.

Too bad he only knows talking points,  There are plenty of confirmed reports he could use to vilify Hamas.

Wow, all of that to troll me. Since I cannot concieve you are supportive of Hamas you clearly did this just to pick a fight.

Perhaps next time just the update but without the attitude?

There were multiple witness accounts of headless babies or children. No photo or video evidence was shown to confirm it but thats hardly reason to suggest it never happened or call it a "talking point".

Every topic on this forum is about you. 

That's why every topic requires you to post response after response to argue, debate, contradict, insult and whine.

James Taylor is playing this weekend. Should we all pitch in and get EEF a ticket?

At 1 CA campus that had these people barricade themselves into a building, of the 300 arrested, majority weren't students/staff.

cmo no focus

note that i didn't link fox news, because i would've gotten a response that it was right-wing biased media
i'm gonna wait for rhayter to admit he/she/it was wrong...
 

Can you back this up? What was the breakdown? You have compiled a listing? It may have been a few. There always are groups that want to take over protests for their own agenda. I doubt a majority weren't students staff.
