    Imo it's rage bait. There's a lot of the silent majority who support Israel's right to self defence

    Hey Spook, just go ahead and hand that password off when it gets this late. It should look like he's at least thinking about these posts as much as, say, coreshot. TIA

    Update from Columbia and other colleges: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/09/n...oup-hamas.html

    The group marked the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by distributing a newspaper with a headline that used Hamas’s name for it: “One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood, Revolution Until Victory,” it read, over a picture of Hamas fighters breaching the security fence to Israel. And the group posted an essay calling the attack a “moral, military and political victory” and quoting Ismail Haniyeh, the assassinated former political leader of Hamas.

    The Columbia group’s increasingly radical statements are being mirrored by pro-Palestinian groups on other college campuses, including in a series of social media posts this week that praised the Oct. 7 attack. They also reflect the influence of more extreme protest groups off campus, like Within Our Lifetime, that support violent attacks against Israel.

    Since then, the group has praised a Tel Aviv attack by Palestinian militants that killed seven people at a light rail station on Oct. 1, including a mother who died while shielding her 9-month-old baby. It also praised Iran’s missile attack on the Jewish state that began that evening, calling it a “bold move.”

    On Tuesday, the group said it rescinded an apology it made last spring about the behavior of Khymani James, a student who had said in a disciplinary hearing that “Zionists don’t deserve to live,” and, “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”


    so, sounds like the kids are just great.....

    There's a lot of correlation between campuses that receive large donations from foreign entities hostile to Israel and the insanity of pro-Hamas support. The tide is going out, though. Students are becoming fed up with the radical anti-Israel mob:

    At Michigan, Pro-Palestinian Activists Lose, and Money for Student Clubs Is Restored

    In a tense, simmering meeting, University of Michigan’s student government restored funding on Tuesday night for campus activities and clubs, which had been paused for months in protest of the war in Gaza.
    ...
    “My impression is that most people on campus don’t really care about student politics, but started to care about it when the vital services we’ve provided for years were interrupted,”
    ...
    After the vote, student assembly members said, activists hurled insults and spit at a student. At least one representative, they said, was personally escorted out by security for safety.

    Round them up, take their masks off, ID them, and add to no fly lists as terrorists supporters. Publish names, schools and majors and let the business community decide if they're employable. It's been what, 23 year since 9/11? They weren't alive at the time and it clearly shows how they're able to openly support terrorism.

    Why do you hate American Democracy? Yes, it's messy. You would probably prefer an iron fisted dictatorship. My Commie barber said things run smoothly in a dictatorship.

    "Death To America" is an exercise of free speech calling for an end to American Democracy, not American Democracy.

    It's like the Rules of Engagement are not "Engagement" itself, merely orders pertaining to behaviors during contact with the enemy.


    Regardless, these assholes are not making friends with this shit.

    "Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me." Free speech sucks balls you say. Why are so many of the American people pussies today? Boo Hoo someone offended me. Please imprison them.

    Actions have consequences. One can participate in free speech as an American core value, when that free speech calls for "intafada" - a call for the death of non believers (the west at large) while enjoying the freedoms the west provides, the line blurs. So as one has the "right" to free speech, others, including the business community at large, have the right to never hire these assholes calling for the death of America, Canada, Israel and the rest of the Western democracies.

    You certainly have the right to be offended. And companies would have the right not to hire them. Not the right to take legal action. Yet.

    Freedom of speech is not absolute, one cannot yell fire in a crowded theater causing panic and risking the well being of others in our country. Calling for violence toward a specific ethnic group seems to fall under this concept. I'm fine with calls for divestment, I'm fine with illuminating inconsistency between policy and international law, but inciting violence against people because they share ethno-religious heritage with those of another nation is indefensible, and is something some of these protesters have engaged in.

    Nice theory. It's was opinion expressed on a college campus, not a fire panic in a theater. See the difference? I don't defend what they promote (whoever the fk "They" are) but do defend the right to say it. Anyways, these kids are doing it wrong. When I was in college and we were pissed about who our govt was killing, we occupied the AdMin building and shut the schools down.

    They should legally be able to say it. It should also be legal to send a PI to the rallies to compile a list of the students involved, and to make their names and pictures publicly available (no private info).

    Incitement — speech that is both “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action” — is unprotected by the First Amendment.

    https://www.thefire.org/research-lea...peech-synopsis

    Edit: I have been cursed, spit on, tear gassed, and bodily picked up and thrown by cops, but I never advocated harming others. Defending that is wrong headed, wrong hearted, and downright immoral. Trump is on trial for asking a mob to fight, and use intimidation to violate the rights of others, students doing the same deserve the same treatment.
