Student Protests Against Israel Are Wonderful

[Revoltingest]

I like seeing that a significant segment of society
is bucking the status quo of unqualified for Israel's
apartheid, human rights violations, fleecing US
taxpayers, & conducting genocide.
Students are often a bellwether. I hope this
portends a shift away from USA supporting vile
regimes.

Protests in New York as US campuses brace for more unrest over Gaza war: Updates

Columbia University, the epicenter of the demonstrations, said classes will provide a virtual learning option through the end of the semester.

They seem to me to be driven by over simplistic woke ignorance. A lot of it I think is based in the "oppressed vs. oppressor" worldview.

I see them driven by sound moral judgement,
which Israel's & USA's leaders utterly lack.
Reminds me of civil rights & anti-Vietnam War
demonstrations.

Exactly.
This is a cromulent description of Israel's oppression of Palestinians.

What worldview would that be?
Do you think that there is no such thing as oppressed and oppressors?

Does that mean you're in favor of Jihadi's morals?

Of course there is, but it's not as simple, as the woke seem to think. Islamists have been taking slaves long before there was a "West". Islamists have taken over the entire ME, except for that tiny, tiny sliver of land called Israel. In the ME, it's Islamists who are the oppressors, not Israel.

 

[Revoltingest]

Does that mean you're in favor of Jihadi's morals?

No.
Your question suggests misunderstanding.
Are you arguing that such oppression is
proper because of something you believe
about Jihadi's.

I think it is you who are misunderstanding. In the ME it is Israel who is oppressed.

Are you claiming that Israel doesn't
& never has oppressed Palestinians?

I'm saying that Islamists (Hamas and others), are using Palestinians as pawns in their endless war to oppress and exterminate Israel.

Truly great satire is indistinguishable from the serious. Which am I looking at here?

 

[Mock Turtle]

All those who are supporting the Palestinians (perhaps rightly) - are you willing to provide the kind of support that might find its way to Hamas?

Could you answer my question?

Serious.
Did you really not understand
my post, or was that sarcasm?

Your use of the word 'cromulent' gave me pause, it still does.

I'm all for "peacefully" protest; however:
When the protesters identify themselves as Hamas then if they are not citizens or green card holders they should be deported immediately, if they are citizens or green card holders they should be arrested as terriorist. Hamas is a terrorist organization just as Islamic State (IS), Jamaat Nusrat Al-Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM) and Al-Shabaab to name a few.

Curse my extensive vocabulary.

Given how non-sensical your question was, I did my best to answer it.

Your focus is far too simplistic and narrow. You're like one of the blind men touching one part of the elephant.

 

[Revoltingest]

If that's your best,
it explains much.

 

[icehorse]

If that's your best, it explains much.

You need to touch more of the elephant before your question deserves any more attention. I will not encourage your narrow focus of the issue.

How many non-citizen Hamas members have been found at protests?
