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

Yep. This spectacle is a big, broad tent [strike]encampment[/strike] of inclusivity or something. The left should be proud.
It looks like law enforcement is getting ready to evict the illegal occupiers at UCLA.
We got playoff hockey and basketball and this. What a night.
lol hype!
It's just a matter of time before a protestor is killed,
LAPD has just put out an all city tactical alert. They are getting ready for riots, terrorist attacks etc.
This has gone on too long. Where's Joe Biden.
You are alive, Captain. Love me a little more. I'm a survivor.
We gotta love Vic and micro. For if you love only those who love you, what credit do you get? Even the tax collectors do as much.
Go get em Lauren!
The good news about all of this is that the world is finally seeing what Israel has been dealing with. These riots are going to back fire tremendously for the Palestinians. These people need a leader. Everything they do now is two steps backwards for the movement. Somebody with intelligence needs to guide these people.
Matty has a point.
I am not making any statement about my own concern. But IF your concern is the health and safety of the Palestinian people, one would think they wouldn't be taking actions to make themselves the center of the story, and distract from what is going on in Gaza while bringing nothing positive to the table, the way all the campus protestors are.
You don't get to knowingly walk and protest with terrorist sympathizers and claim you don't support terrorists.
For the same reasons "the very fine people" that marched with neo-Nazis in Charlottsville don't get to claim they don't support neo-Nazis.
and those who've sided with what netanyahu is doing?
do you give them a pass if they agree he should be proseccuted afterwards?
If the shoe fits. You seriously telling me there's a plausible alternative explanation for vic's utterly consistent nazi comparisons such as untermensch, lebenstraum Eintzgrupen and referring to Jews as a different species, other than Jew hating? Seriously?? All about looking walking and quacking like a duck.
Mets, you need to cool down and take a step back. If you could see Bibi is committing war crimes then you must admit he needs to go and Israel needs to do better in its prosecution of the war.Microbet is idealistic, perhaps to the point of naïveté, but he has engaged in every discussion with respect and good faith. He is nothing like Victor and he deserves honest engagement if
No he hasn't, he's proactively insulted other posters, which isn't respectful.
lol that Billy Graham segment on philosophy. Some film called The Philosphers was out at that time. And 20 philophers were subject of some study. Forgot how they worded the findings, but their dedication to a life of supposition produced mostly angst.

Yes they do as one militia at Charlotsville took a completely neutral stance and merely supported the right to peaceful protest, while not supporting Nazis. ACLU supported the right of neo Nazis marching on freedom of speech grounds, doesn't mean they're Nazi supporters.
I protested against the invasions of Iraq & Afghanistan. Doesn't mean I supported Saddam or the Taliban. Some protesting at pro Palestinian marches may simply be against the bombing, while not being pro Hamas, although I'm sure there's plenty of pro Hamas protesters at such events also.
They were chanting about intifada earlier, and they also chanted, "You don't scare us," which is an adaptation of, "Juden schweinen."
There were people at schools celebrating oct 7 before Israel even retaliated so they cannot claim it's about the bombing now
