Welcome to "New Palestine, USA"

[@gabe8976]

Already exists... in Indiana, actually

[@armchairobserver4747]

@@gabe8976 I'm referring to a state not a town

[@drzaius1121]

Funny, you never ever hear pro Palestine people condemn the actions of Hamas.

[@Cryptonymicus]

Well I guess the Palestinian faction is a little preoccupied with the idea that, apparently, 30 Palestinians have died for every 1 Israeli. But, hey, there's never going to be peace as long as the leaders on all sides want to exterminate everybody on the other side.

[@ryantew8116]

That’s the first thing you hear

[@meankitten101]

​@ryantew8116 They might whisper it now and again but like the PALESTINIANS THEY DONT CARE. IT DOESN'T REGISTER

[@funworld3433]

Show me pro Israel supporter condemning IOF​@ryantew8116

[@gabe8976]

I've personally said it countless times. You can support the people of Palestine without supporting Hamas... same with Israel - you can hate the Israeli government without being anti-semitic

[@Bluelu69]

Calling for dismantling of Israel while having 50+ countries of your own and seeking more is antisemitism.

[@JeffLance-df9sx]

Let them protest. They need their temper tantrum. Just don't hire them in policy, security, economy, or military positions. That leaves sanitation widely open.

[@treytison1444]

They won't. They'll just say they have PTSD and collect disability checks that they'll use to buy weed.

[@Project_-jq7jw]

Yaaaaas!! Completely agree. Maybe throw in fast food and retail as areas they can work in. I also say they shouldn't have any kind of job that requires a background check. Not everyone deserves the same access to things. Not everyone is equal. I'm a realist, not some stupid naive person.

[@greyroad]

Good one.

[@gabe8976]

Sanitation is a fantastic career, but also why you hate the first amendment so much man?

[@JeffLance-df9sx]

​@@gabe8976 I don't hate the First Amendment, but I am developing a deep mistrust of the TikTok generation. There is an expression: one doesn't value what one gets for free. These people do not understand what they got just by accident when they were born here. They do not value it and thus can mess it up. Just watching them uncritically and enthusiastically endorsing Islamists is uncanny. Islam, IMHO, has nothing in common with Western Liberal thought or with freedom of speech. Islam's DNA is to conquer and subjugate - look at the history of Lebanon, for example. The survey of Muslims in Britain found that by and large, they prefer Sharia to liberal democracy. France is currently burned by the second generation of Islamic youth. It is not by accident that Islam didn't produce a single country in the ME that is Democratic in the Western sense. Iran has a quasi-democracy dominated and controlled by a mullah. The rest of the ME is either theocracies or failed states. I realize you are one of that generation, and I don't mean to insult you, but here it is

[@Cryptonymicus]

The Vietnam War protests make this look like a kid's tea party.

[@David-bc4rh]

Free speech has a much tighter restriction.

[@user-xz4dn8fj5p]

Said a genocide mind.🤮

[@hangten1904]

They never blocked traffic

[@Project_-jq7jw]

@@David-bc4rh Rights have limits. I have the Supreme Court on my side on this. Hate speech and other crap like that is not protected speech. You going to disagree with me on this?

[@David-bc4rh]

@@Project_-jq7jw Hate speech gets spun on anything. There's a few bad apples and bad organization. It's not a riot or a mob. The message of the mass demonstrations is clear. Divest from Israel and demand ceasefire.

[@rackroll4405]

Terrorism does not deal in conversation.

[@mamamememoo]

Just shouting over everyone.

[@cronx1337]

Columbia is pathetic 😂

[@user-xz4dn8fj5p]

Just like u.😏

[@user-zf1rc6fv9e]

​@@user-xz4dn8fj5pwhy are you offended 😂😂😂shame on you to support this ignorant college students

[@user-xc4uq3cr4b]

These students are a disgrace.

[@lzeng78]

Why, for protesting to push their school to distance itself from entities that are conducting or are complicit in an on-going genocide?

[@mamamememoo]

Education in these schools went from prestigious to ridiculous…

[@rackroll4405]

For every class missed, there should be grading accordingly.

[@the.magic.catbus9459]

There is

[@meankitten101]

THE PEOPLE PROTESTING ACT EXACTLY LIKE THE PEOPLE THEY ARE PROTESTING FOR. HATE-FILLED.

[@ML-te6qv]

you are mean!

[@Steven-nl7wd]

Yes

[@TheMalfean]

Those students who were arrested, should be immediately expelled.

[@user-xz4dn8fj5p]

💩

[@christophersambuco9414]

I dont understand the point of protesting at a place where nobody has the ability to grant the protesters wishes

[@treytison1444]

Did you actually pay attention to the news story?

[@Jstp19454]

Divest out of apartheid system stop hiding truth

[@Runtotheborder]

Yet this protests isn't going to stop anything

[@joycescott5561]

The two countries Israel and Palestine have been at each other's throats since I was old enough to watch TV. And I'm 63 yrs old 😢 just sad that they can't get along.

[@acamiln8354]

Voting does not change anything.

Very funny. Hahaha.🤮

CIA, at it again

[@SkyBear0509]

Ok Alex Jones

[@user-po9wh8nc8s]

Read a little history on the CIA. That's what they do... Dora the explora

[@Project_-jq7jw]

Ok, so now you can go ahead and prove your claim. Go ahead. Where is your proof? Put up a link or a citation or something that we can independently prove to be correct or incorrect. Don't just put up bullshit statements like that and not back it up with something concrete.

[@user-po9wh8nc8s]

Crack. Civil rights. January 6th. Anti Vietnam war movement. Coups in foreign countries. The news... Anything that changes public opinion... They infiltrate movements and derail them. That's what they do. Social engineering.

[@user-tk4ey1id5d]

Wow the evil is rampaging in people's minds but the Lord God will protect his people and we shall see it praise the Lord God Almighty and all the Israel

[@howardmenkes2926]

This isn't domestic terrorism?

[@hangten1904]

Compared to BLM riots and Jan 6? .......No

That girl beating a spoon on a frying pan just made Netanyahu call for a total withdrawal of all Israeli troops.

"Fight for calm" Someone fire this copy editor

[@Cryptonymicus]

I don't believe in copy editors any more. I see no evidence of copy editors anywhere on the internet. I think they are mythical creatures which never actually existed. I mean "fighting for calm" is so oxymoronical it's really kind of funny, if you ever found Monty Python funny.

[@user-ln9ld5qp4e]

Why they always calling pro- Palestinian protests - antisemitism ?

[@hangten1904]

It's crazy because Palestinians themselves are Semites.

[@user-ln9ld5qp4e]

Palestine should be free, separate country, no matter what jewish think.
