Palestine college student protest megathread

Was she a fan of Trump or just bitter about Biden stealing the nomination from Bernie?

The Cardinal Patriach of jerusalem, a staunch suppoter of Palestine by the way, says that he doesn't get the protests in America.

"After the Mass, Cardinal Pizzaballa told reporters that he struggles to understand the protests taking place across college campuses in the United States over academic institutions' investments in companies that do business with Israel.

"Universities are places where cultural debate, even when heated, even when tough, should be available at 360 degrees," he said. "The contrast of completely different ideas, harsh as they may be, must be expressed not through violence or boycotting, but by knowing how to confront one another."

"The world is made of different opinions that must be confronted, not by explosions but by discussions," he said."

If people are going to call him an israel shrill next then well....

So Is this an ideological win for the right? They've been calling out colleges and universities as indoctrination camps for a long time now. DEI as a whole has also probably taken a huge beating in public opinion.

Is the the Left self destruction in the most comically and embarrassing way possible a win for the Right? Yes I would say so.

I feel like this depends heavily on how mainstream libs respond - being free of the far-left is a boon for them.

R's are making ads connecting student loan cancellation to the protests. Not really a great ad overall but the concept isn't bad .

He's clearly not the one who used the n word based on that video.

A lot of mean words have been thrown around on all sides, I was more concerned about the spitting part. I would rather get decked in the face by Tyson than spat on.

man what?

Spewing your bodily fluids all over a person without their consent is more dehumanizing than punching them.

I mean yeah but your statement didn't really touch on that aspect. I'd prefer some douche spit at me and I just wipe it away than having my face rearranged.

I don’t care whether you think Israel’s actions in Gaza are justified or not. The actions and conduct of these protesters has been straight up despicable and you should be ashamed of yourself if you’re still supporting them.

Today, in response to the recent protests, the house passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act with 91 dissenters. Both Sara Jacobs (low key one of the best reps) and MTG took issue with the bill, though for very different reasons.

They're certainly not doing their cause any favors.

It seems to be a trend in this country where protests don't really evoke sympathy or support in our society, and often fuel the reverse.

Why are Palestinians so desperate to appropriate the Holocaust for themselves

Next terrible conservative rap album cover just dropped. Perfection.

Interesting how the area with the strongest counter protest is UCLA which has a bunch of Iranian(Mizrahi) Jews

The fact that they have been recategorised as stateless basically is an attempt to strip away their national identity. Then again, you have tried to characterise me as a Hamas supporter before.

Palestinians and the Rohingya are basically the world's 2 largest stateless populations.

Petro antizionism is not new, he supported South Africa on the genocide court case.

I'm sorry, what exactly is the 'Chief of Patrol' doing tweeting stuff like this,

Remember everyone , if you want change , seek the change you want by getting involved. Then you know what to do….

Like holy, talk about mask-off. Glad NYC has leaders like Cabán on the rise.

Once upon a time Minouche Shafik, world-renowned economist and one-time favourite to become the UK's chief banker, the BBC is now wont to call Columbia's president "Nemat Shafik." Am I not getting enough sleep or has she actually just changed her name without giving much prior notice (witness how Ava McLean became Elliott two years ago)?

Democrats should have never paid lip service to the pro Palestinian side.

Should they have said nothing when Israel dropped bombs on Palestinian women and children and blockaded food from entering Gaza and killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in what has been commonly described by many as an ethnic cleansing?

Why would that have been a better course of action?

America’s internal unrest poses a much greater threat to the lives and civil liberties of people around the world than Benjamin Netanyahu.
