Are American college campuses hotbeds of anti-semitism coming from the progressive left?
That’s what the so-called “liberal mainstream media” keeps saying, and I don’t see anyone speaking up to contradict or rebut them.

Plenty of people are rebutting them, but obviously they don't have a platform nearly as big as mainstream media.

@BohemianBoo Says the person who literally spent the other day arguing that Israel is 100% to blame for the whole thing.
BohemianBoo · M
@LordShadowfire You're strawmanning, because you can't argue against what I actually said.
LordShadowfire · M
@BohemianBoo What, the part about how Israel was an ethnostate founded for the purpose of Jewish supremacy? Or am I getting my users mixed up again?
BohemianBoo · M
@LordShadowfire Oh no, that's entirely true. But I never said Israel is completely to blame for the acts of terrorism. Of course, Hamas is too. However, Israel does have most of the blame, since they created these conditions, plus they fund Hamas.

@BohemianBoo I remember you saying that even though Hamas is out of line, Israel is 100% to blame for the war. I haven't found the actual quote, however. The second I do, expect screenshots. Can't argue with a screenshot.
BohemianBoo · M
@LordShadowfire I definitely didn't say that. The closest I said was that Hamas and Israel are both to blame, but the reason Hamas exists in the first place is because of Israel. But I'd never say the terrorists in Hamas don't have agency, they still did what they did.

@BohemianBoo I took the time to look through all of your comments, and I must have been hallucinating. You did, however, seem very determined to put most of the blame on Israel.
BohemianBoo · M
@LordShadowfire Well yeah, Israel is mostly to blame.
LordShadowfire · M
@BohemianBoo Are they to blame for the rocket attacks of the last 20 years? Or Hamas choosing to hole up in a hospital after murdering peace loving farmers?
BohemianBoo · M
@LordShadowfire Yes, I already explained this. By keeping the Palestinian population poor and hopeless, they're creating a situation that far-right extremist groups thrive in. When people become hopeless, they turn to reactionary politics and violence.

There it is, folks. Israel is 100% responsible for the war according to @BohemianBoo.
