Israel/Palestine thread
Think this merits its own thread...
Discuss my fellow 2+2ers..
AM YISRAEL CHAI.

In Victor's world only Palestinians and their supporters are allowed to react emotionally to propaganda videos (that may or may not be true) of their "tribe" being attacked.
I saw the claims yesterday afternoon that a counter protestor was knocked down and beaten unconscious and had to go to the hospital. I suspect something happened, but there was A LOT of hyperbole involved in the recounting of the tale; but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been a catalyst for what happened last night.
And lets keep some things in perspective. Even all the fighting last night was probably less than what happened during the Knicks game going on around the same time.
The crowd didn't look like proud boys.
Still, the whole thing was less dangerous than cops storming the area.
Security stood around like cops at Uvalde. Did they even talk to anyone?
According to Twitter, every time someone asked the police/security to get involved, they were told they had stand down orders form above to not get involved. And this has been the case for a few days while the violence escalated.
The biggest obstacle to a non-violent Palestinian protest movement is the violence visited on peaceful activists by the IDF.
This guy deserves a Nobel:

Right, so stop getting so worked up about it. There was a bit of a fight.
Lol
"The protests are less dangerous than the police beading them up" means they shouldn't call police?

He makes actual insights that IMO help explain the world. If one of you had pointed out that the protests at Columbia were almost all women, and we should expect little actual violence (until police got involved at least), and it seemed to play out this way; I would have tipped my cap.
I don't think the musings of neo-Nazis help explain the world regardless of your personal opinion. But you've been told all this before anyway, several times.

supposedly the most prominent counter-protesters were Iranian Zionists
an absolute mindbending post. the day after militarized police stormed multiple campuses all across the USA.
but let me ask you something, if Palestinian protesters with sticks, bear mace, and fireworks attacked people how long do you think it would take for the police to show up?
The authorities should have gotten involved 2 days ago when the Palestinian protestors were chasing around unarmed students and throwing them out of their "Zionist no go zones." Then it would have never escalated to that point.
dont worry Dun, you will get your blood soon enough from UCLA. be happy you got some in NYC and Texas so far.

What Orwell got wrong is that most people don't have to be beaten into submission. Most people go quietly.
I'm a freedom lover. I'm not a joiner. I'm not a bootlicker. If you don't know the difference between Mao and Orwell, that's your problem.
When people self-describe as Communists, fools say "But that's totalitarianism!", under which protests are always severely crushed.
Hamas sucks. The Communists suck. The Patriots suck. The Israeli Nationalists suck. Flag wavers suck. The root of all this authoritarianism and fascism is losing your individuality into some abstract group of people, most of whom you've never met.
Hey can we maybe get a moratorium on Lucio posting literal Neo-Nazi memes ITT? Thanks in advance.
I don't want anyone banned. Not at all. No buts.
It is pretty absurd though that with the Nazi and racist takes and the bullshit about calling anyone who doesn't salute the Israeli Army an antisemite or self-hating Jew or Hamas supporter that you can get banned for calling someone an idiot. I embrace that absurdity. If some lame ass hall monitor is going to ban someone for name calling while people happily chat about rounding up dissidents or calling refugees "garbage-people"? I try not to force them to do it, but I'm certainly not going out of my way to spare them from it.
This is something Richard Hanania talked about, so give credit where it is due.But he pointed out at the Columbia protests/riots most of the protestors were women, so he expected little actual violence. But at UCLA we see the proportion on both sides is a lot more male heavy, which means simple first principles of evolutionary biology should have given authorities some warning
He is an arab, so he should probably side with the arab side a bit more.
Why is he only posting crimes of black people?

memes?
where?
Wonder what the law and order bootlickers will have to say about the rampaging stick wielding mob at UCLA last night.
There has been no law and order since the criminals have taken over the campuses. I was wondering when the counter protestors would finally step up. These protests should have been shut down day one. they knew this was a violent ideology.
I googled Richard Hanania and his charming fans like to talk about whether or not he has Jew blood in him.

So when a bunch of not-law-enforcement goes around bashing people with sticks, Mr. Law and Order here says they "finally step up".

ya thats why they are protesting. they knew they would get beaten violent fanatical genocidal Supremacists. and they knew they could not fight back physically. very brave and selfless way to fight back against the Zionist thugs.
