Six months into the war in Gaza, many pro-Palestine activists in the United States are so fully invested in the cause of Palestinian liberation, for which Hamas claims to be fighting—and so steeped in their hatred of Israel—that they are casting aside the progressive ideals that they regularly invoke when castigating Israel. In doing so, they are exposing themselves as hypocrites whose ideology is not forged in a set of universal values but rather is situational and dependent on ethnicity or skin color.

Rape denialism also feeds the widely held belief among Israelis that non-Jews refuse to acknowledge the horrors of October 7—and that the world is hopelessly biased against them. At the same time, it excuses Hamas’s actions and perpetuates the notion that Palestinians have little agency or responsibility for the continuation of a 75-year-old conflict with no end in sight. It pushes both sides to retreat to their respective corners, unwilling to see the humanity in the other, and makes the long-term goal of peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians that much more difficult to achieve.

Which undertitle would you prefer
Rape denier or anti[strike]semite[/strike]zionist

no, the only thing that is bad faith is agreeing with a bombing campaign that is overwhelmingly targeting and killing civilians and then have the audacity to claim that you dont like seeing civilians killed.

I don't like seeing civilians killed. I don't like Hamas hiding among civilians like cowards either. They knew they'd get a response and simply wanted more eternal martyrs for their cause, of which the specific call for the extermination of Jews is a major part. You don't care about this due to your West Bad bullshit and then with no sense of irony call everyone genocide lovers. You're incapable of a good faith discussion.

Are you not bright enough to realize this is you equating someone suffering being on a campus where posters were torn down with people witnessing the murder and rape?


Really mets, you just think because you've said the Pledge of Allegiance you can say whatever you want or pal around with people who are just plotting for Jebus to smite you and it's all ok.

Yes I'm apoplectic with rage, you got me etc. You keep proving your inability to give a good faith argument with every post you dribble out.

Everything I've said about Hamas is true, they absolutely hide among the Gazan civilian populace and knew damn well there would be retaliation for their attack.


like I said, such ignorance does not deserve good faith. you are wedded to racist ideas and brainwashed by propaganda in support of a genocide so you can be treated as such. its not like your hateful lies havent been debunked numerous times.


by metsandfinsfan

Also nice to know you don't give a **** about the janitors who were basically hostages

All part of the cause

Janitors were restrained from leaving? Show your work.


Victor has a Bill Cosby poster on his wall still I think.

You're so obsessed with the Jesus smiting jews thing

You're honestly the first jew I've ever seen be obsessed

If the end of times come, and Jesus shows up and says he is the messiah, jews won't follow him?

Like lol @ even bringing this up like it's an issue. Jews should hate Evangelicals everyone!

Ranting that everyone is a genocide lover every other post is hardly constructive discourse.

Ditto for calling people "Jew haters".


The police need to end all of these school takeovers immediately

I wasn't only talking about vic being abused and you're either lying or, to give you the benefit of the doubt, you haven't been reading the posts over the last few days.

You're going to have to allow for some latitude when I have literally half the thread on ignore. But in this instance I was indeed just talking about the leader of team pro-rape.


by metsandfinsfan

Any sense when that was?


"They held me hostage," a facilities worker who was in the building when the insurrection began said after he was allowed to leave, according to the student newspaper Columbia Spectator.
