Then you aren't paying attention.

Why do you think these protests ramped up right after Biden announced how much more money we were sending over there?

Dude most of these protestors are out there virtue signaling or guys wanting to get laid. I’d bet 90% of them don’t have a ****ing clue on where our tax money is going or how much.

A lot of assumptions on your part, hog. Conveniently free of amy tangible data with which to back them.

I agree, but that's the root of this protest.

Rape, genocide, and the like are always going on in some asshoIe of the world somewhere. I think the fact that we actively fund this one is why these protests are happening.

Eh that’s probably true for a portion of the protesters. There’s also a small portion that probably has very little understanding of any of it.

Most of them are out there protesting “Genocide” in Gaza, though.

I don’t think they go anywhere if tomorrow it’s a 100% Israeli funded “genocide”.

Just as big of assumptions as you are making.

That's simply not true. Divesting in Israel has been the cornerstone in their articulations. I live in a college town. A lot of the same people at these protests frequent my establishment.

Your assumptions are empty and contemptuous.

Every protest has a portion that doesn't know what they're kicking and screaming about. Much akin to a Trump rally.

It's the funding of genocide, else they'd be moaning about plenty of other genocide du jours.

Prolly just a counter-protestor posing…

"Zionists, they don't deserve to live comfortably, let alone, Zionists don't deserve to live,"

Dude wanna just murder everybody he disagrees with lol -

"The same way we're very comfortable accepting that Nazis don't deserve to live, fascists don't deserve to live, racists don't deserve to live, Zionists, they shouldn't live in this world," James added.

Columbia University says it has banned student protester who said 'Zionists don't deserve to live'

Khymani James, a junior at Columbia and a self-described spokesperson for the pro-Palestinian encampment there, made the comments in a January meeting with a school administrator.

So basically anyone who back Israel having an independent state deserves to die............


That's what he said.....no paraphrasing needed.


I'm a firm believer in the concept that those who wish violence on others should be the first to receive it.

For sure. And every protest has the zealots and true believers, too.

I think most lay in the middle.

If tomorrow, there were no US funding, and it was a 100% Israeli funded “genocide” - would you expect to see the majority of the protesters go home?
I don’t think we would.

I think the leaders/agitators have an idea of what they are protesting but the majority don’t. Ask some of them what divestment means, and what specific divestments would satisfy them.

and that point doesn't make sense.

these schools have investments in companies that are making money from the sale/funding of arms going to Israel. which somehow gets twisted into being invested in Israel.

those same companies are probably making money from giving stuff to Ukraine. They aren't companies set up specifically to get money from the killing of Palestinians or even from just helping Israel.

following their logic they would also want their universities to remove any investments in the medical field, or various energy production methods that Israel uses to make the war on Palestine possible. would also need to completely disinvest from a large number of logistical companies, or companies with large logistical branches.

I never said the protests were free of ignorance and inconsistency.

If it were up to me, I'd cut off all funding going to Gaza and let them blow each other to sh*t.
