Welcome to Thunderdome

I keep seeing "just because i hate the government of israel doesn't mean I hate jews." Then they go on to make an argument that sounds a lot like, "Just because i hate the government of israel doesn't mean i hate the dirty, subhuman jews."

But yeah, I'm in the "don't start nothin, won't be nothin" crowd. I'm not sure what Hamas thought would happen with a full, bloody invasion. I wonder if someone promised to have their backs, then didn't.

Harvard too.

One of my wife's far left podcasts had two female hosts openly discussing how the antisemitism on display among the left might be costing them votes. Jewish people and others who vote "for the right thing" aren't digging what they're seeing right now.

UPenn loses another.

Preach, but you and I both know a lot of people disagree with that.

Sure, and I don't care about their thoughts

All evidence points to the hospital being accidentally self-inflicted by terrorists.

I think it says a lot about the Arabic world that they're willing to believe the terrorists first.

Two Americans held by Hamas released.

I always wonder about the real story behind stuff like this.

A dollar says they don't come back with stories about how awesome and humane their captors were.

Hamas doesn't want the US to make them disappear.

Fairly attractive anti-semite fired for saying "No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of all of them"

"I don't hate jews, but..."

I don't know if you can fuck the hate out of someone, but dammit, I'm willing to try.

For science!!!

Saw a bunch of white people protesting at Yale chanting "from the river to the sea". One white guy had his three year old daughter on his shoulders.

I wonder if they have any idea what that means?

I wonder if any of them could pass a very basic 5 question exam about the history of Israel/Palestine?

CNN investigation says terrorist rocket, not Israeli airstrike, hit hospital.

A former leftist, not American, discusses not being that anymore.

It's an interesting read even beyond this current issue.

Is it just me or is there a metric fuckton of dead/injured children photos and videos? So much so that I really find it hard not to be intentional, and not on Israel's part.



What did he expect to happen? Are they really this brainwashed that they thought there wouldn't be retaliation?

Muslims held a rally that accurately portrays their beliefs. Do you think the woke in the West and Europe saw it and understood? (Highly doubtful.)

Bill Ackman thinks social media is to blame for incorrectly informing college students about Palestine/Hamas/Israel.

Duh?

Look at what these Harvard students do to this Jewish student. How is this not criminal? How is this not a race or hate crime? How are people not being punished?

Geez I thought that kind of bias was only legal when talking about southerners, any more.

Protestors in NC block busy highway in Durham right around rush hour.

Hundreds of anti-war protesters were almost arrested Thursday evening after blocking traffic for hours on N.C. Highway 147 in Durham during rush hour.

Why stop there?

People blocking roads should be legally treated as speed bumps.

I've never understood the logic, of pissing people off about your cause.

My hippy gf says it's a good way to get your message out there. WHen I say "Yeah it makes me aware of your message, and I am now opposed to it" she acts like I'm just cranky and a fringe opinion.

Your hippy GF is an idiot if she thinks pissing people off is a good way to get them on your side.

The stop oil people have been doing this shit forever. What effect has their efforts had? Outside of making people more violent towards them is oil production and usage down as a direct result of their actions?
