In the News II

Quote: kenarman

The polls are tracking 80% against the campus protests. The lefties encouraged and allowed them to start. Now they are in panic mode about them since they have lost control over them and they are costing the Dems lots of support. Who could have possibly foreseen that protestors that want to eliminate Jews and infidels would not be popular with the average American.

The polls are meaningless to protestors.
It's about the cause
No doubt the polls are based on false reports by foxnews and others that only support right wing free speech
I'm certainly not in panic mode
Roevember is still a reality that will drive votes to the left
The protestors do not want to eliminate jews
This is total BS from the right
This the typical view of the right wing that is against free speech
I will always support free speech be it left or right
Conservatives only support conservative free speech

I do not get why the lefties gravitate so heavy to the Palestinian side of things.

But it is not a surprise to some of us that this is happening on college campuses. As far back as the aughts the signs were there that colleges were becoming anti-Israel. At first it was the fringes but they were allowed to do things like show maps of "Palestine" not Israel.

But this does not feel organic. It feels like astroturf. Question of course is from where?

They didn't crack down hard enough on all the BLM BS when it occurred and they aren't using necessary force now to quell it.

Typical American response: "OMG, how would the optics look when I'm up for re-election?"

I have always said the 2020s are going to be a violent decade.

Hopefully the ivies get knocked off their perch somewhat because of letting it all happen. Between grade inflation and these kinds of social policy they need a new look.

I doubt the ivies care about what uneducated confederates think about them.

Do you really not understand what "from the sea to the ocean" means or are you just trolling.

Article 13 of the Hamas covenant/Charter. All other items are similar in content.

""[Peace] initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement... Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of Islam... There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility." (Article 13)*

Hamas doesn't want a peaceful solution they want Israel destroyed.

The protestors are against Hamas and for Palestinians

Doesn't matter
This is about Palestinian civilians caught is the middle of Hamas and Isreal and are being killed in the thousands.
Israel is so brutal and savage in this war, hostages waving white flags have been killed
What the students are protesting about is University investments that help support Israel's war against civilians
https://www.npr.org/2023/12/15/1219695220/israel-soldiers-mistakenly-kill-hostages-gaza
It's a complicated subject
The side against the protestors live in a black and white world where they think if you are not for us, then you are against us
The students say this is a complicated problem and innocent Palestinians caught in the middle are being killed

The fact their protest signs call for the elimination of Israel doesn't mean anything to you. Okay put what ever spin on that you
want since obviously you and a lot of the students don't have a clue about what is really happening.
