ANOTHER student who doesn't know what "genocide" means. Are we raising a nation of idiots?

[@scottanderson3382]

Why did no member of the media at this gathering ask any questions to challenge their stance? As in, " If the Palestinians are so oppressed yet so loved and supported around the world, do almost zero nations indulge in taking them into their countries as refugees, including every country that borders them."

[@scottanderson3382]

The lack of intellectual honestly, and critical thinking is stunning. As though students can honestly say, " We will not stop until ALL of our demands are met". Have they learned nothing regarding negotiating? Have they no knowledge that they can no more force a university to divest from anything, any more than the university can force students or their parents to divest from anything. Clueless people, with little real world experience. Kids that have never even balanced a bank account, held a full time job absent a tutored job and apprentice position, never paid rent, utilities, or any daily bills required to live as an adult 100% ob their own dime, can hardly be honestly negotiated with, much like the Hamas organization they support freely and openly.

[@IllustratorNoahM]

How bout y’all get rid of your protests and encampments across campuses and stop interfering with Jewish and non-Jewish students

[@Beyou1262]

It’s so distressing that the issue in Gaza is not about how Hamas initiated this tragic war by committing the most horrific atrocities, killing innocent people and taking hostages. Why aren’t they protesting to free the hostages?? Since the beginning, Israel has maintained that it would stop when the hostages were released. Release the hostages. In the meantime, Hamas continues to put its own people in harm’s way. Hamas broke the cease fire. Hamas continues this nightmare. Hamas is responsible for the damage.

[@RyanCunningham-tw4wd]

"Why aren't they protesting to free the hostages??" It's because some of their own have been held hostage elsewhere.

[@user-bs4oq9xv7p]

you talk about Oct 7 but what about 76 years of occupation and apartheid ? what about June 2006 when Isreal attacked Gaza, what about 2008, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2021, 2022…nearly 40,000 thousand dead in the last 7 months. It’s been 76 YEARS of Israel treating Gazans as targets!!!!! PALESTINE DESERVES TO BE FREE!

[@neillewis785]

the hostages are all dead face it .these religious fanatics don't want peace .And yet the CORRUPT UN BACKS THEM.PROOF they are lining their pockets from muslim money?
