Have US college students been radicalized ?

@sunsporter1649 and another one for you sunspew, if you care to read: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-dilemma-of-gazas-christians

@BigGuy2 thanks again 👍

@WandererTony oh, i get it, this 👍 AND "thanks again" are the new ways of saying or showing you haven't a clue, this 👍 and this "thanks again" has superceded words like 'deflection' and phrases like "you're lying"

Tut tut ... 🙄🙄🙄

@WandererTony ran back into the basement have we, before the shutters come down

@helenS agree, I don’t understand why they are not protesting against Hamas. They are the ones holding Gaza hostage and people hostage.

@subhubby It is often said that our Western culture rests upon three columns: religion (centered at "Jerusalem") philosophy (centered at "Athens") and a legal system ("Rome").
I think there has always been a fourth column, anti-Semitism (centered at Auschwitz). Anti-semitism is a chameleon, wearing many face masks. The accusations of genocide are very old; during the days of the Black Death, thousands of Jews were burned alive in many European cities because they were accused of spreading the plague intentionally.

@cherokeepatti This logic sounds rather similar to the one in a leading third world nation that is getting increasingly non secular. When there is any voice of protest, there are those who suggest that the protesters be sent to orthodox muslim nations. As if protesting one extreme means belonging to another extreme. On a similar logic, anyone objecting to govt policy is a traitor and should be thrown out. Rather autocratic and intolerant if you ask me.

@SlaveEt Only thing we learn from history is that people do not learn from history.

@NerdyPotato Rich young people love to party.

@EarthlingWise protesting isn't a party though.

@NerdyPotato It often is!

@Convivial If they were only protesting against the killings of civilians, that could be fine. They're not. They buy the little Palestinian freedom fighter outfit, chant antisemitic songs they don't even comprehend, deny atrocities committed in the name of a God, or worse, condone those atrocities-- like any little revolutionary rebel should, right? Kids hopefully not knowing what they're doing but spreading hatred across the Western world.

@EarthlingWise i get the strong feeling you're interpreting their actions through your own biases... So I'll leave you with them

@Convivial I actually listen to them! Do you?

@BigGuy2 I remember Chris Cuomo saying it.

@BizSuitStacy 👍👍👍 i'm impressed

@BizSuitStacy i loved watching the video of these kiddies protesting 'Defund the Police' doing so whilst walking along the street, one of them kicked a pick-up truck as it drove past, 10-15 feet down the road, it stopped - within SECONDS they were screeching:

"Call the Police"

@Guardian most protests still don't involve any violence, and the few that do aren't anything new.

Here's a little summary of the worst ones going back to 1863:

@Guardian Protests have the potential of turning violent occasionally. I do not support violence. But it does not mean that the idea of protest is faulty. Killing the right to protest creates an autocratic state. Many here seem to support that.

@WandererTony AB-SO-LUTE-LY! Non-violent protest is meaningful and necessary to maintain societal balance!

@Diotrephes if you ever get a chance, go live with Hamas. Tell me how it goes.

@4meAndyou Yup, hamas on college campuses, and ray is busy arresting parents at school board meetings

@WandererTony The Palestine activists aren't upset so much with Israel as the rest of the west. They've said so much, referring to Israel as the little Satan and the US as the great Satan. These Dihmi kids being influenced should be permanently expelled from schools, or at least marked and never hired into any influential positions.

@WandererTony By "Israeli genocide" you ARE referring to the inhumanity of Hamas killing off both Israelis and Palestinians, right, or just that point when Hamas attacked Israelis?

@WandererTony Yup, I am a racist, I watch all the races I can on tv, especially NASCAR.

@sunsporter1649 we need to go back to the drawing board and define terrorism.
And yes, also define who is a foreigner in raghead land.

@MandyMitchell israeli settlers were massacring settlers in the west bank i. 2022. My math says 2022 came before 2023. What percentage of israelis voted netanyahu into power?

@trollslayer Hamas and Hezbollah were attacking Israel long before that. The Arabs were attacking Jews in the 1930s - and the 1080s.

@WandererTony I've never said Germans have anything to do with Gaza. All I said was that German students in the early 1930s were similar to those "progressive" students we can see today on so many campuses, accusing Jews of genocide and what not. The same enthusiasm, the same hate, the same blindness.

@helenS Ok I was lazy and used lesser words.
By Germans, read German students of the 30s.
And what you see as similar is not really the enthusiasm, hate and blindness . Since these attributes are available in both sides. The protesters and those who are in favour of the Israeli retaliation.
What you see as similar is that Jews are involved in both. And my argument here is that it does not make both similar.

If they didn't continue to commit genocides and ethnic cleansing they wouldn't be accused of doing those things. But then, their official policy is to do those things until all non-White Jews have been driven out of the Levant area, from the Nile to the Euphrates.
