Protests over the War in Gaza

When Booms right he's right

You think that's bad....   I recent article shows where the majority of Gen Z are sympathetic to Hamas.    I wonder how many of these idiots have seen the raw footage of the savage murders of innocent jews from last year. 

The world is fcked.

About a mile from where we live, there is some douchebag family flying the American flag upside down with Palestinian flags raised above it.     I say ship that fucker over to Gaza.

That's a big fucking illegal. I remember when I was a kid and Joan Kroc had the McDonnalds flag higher than the American flag on her property in Rancho SanteFe. She received a big fat fine. I had no idea before that it's illegal to fly any flag higher than the old stars and stripes.

Oh times have changed.

Shit....those days are long gone.  

Many of the businesses in San Diego are flying all sorts of "virtue signaling flags" (I leave that to your imagination)  with no Stars and Stripes to be seen....

Having sympathy for someone’s situation and disagreeing with the methods they choose to resist are not mutually exclusive. 

Gaza has been the largest open air prison for the majority of a lot of Hamas’ members lives. Israel controls the points of entry, electricity, water, you name it.  This is a fact. Meanwhile, they were subjected to indiscriminate bombings and saw their family members murdered while living in abject poverty. They are also victims of propaganda from within that tells them the only way to fix the situation is terrorism. 

I can't help but imagine how much you sound like Joe Biden reading off his note cards when I read your post's, especially this one.  Is there some website you log onto in the morning to get the daily democrat talking points?   

Do you know what it means to think critically about both sides of an issue?

 
sorry to interrupt your safe space with a contrarian viewpoint that rationalizes how someone might have sympathy for Hamas. 

"Sympathy for Hamas"...??  Is that what they told you to say?  Contrarian viewpoints, rationalization, sympathy....yep, 1st page, verse 1, of the how to be a kinder more gentle Hamas terrorist. 

So tell me, what exactly has the Hamas folks done for the sake of a greater mankind.  Are they advancing in medical innovations?  Maybe its medicine that they're well renowned for?  Solving hunger...ecological modernizations...oh yeah human rights, that's their forte.  

Yeah, two side of an issue and Hamas sits on the wrong side of either.  And you apparently aren't too far behind.       

Yes....poor little murdering terrorists.

How the hell are you from Texas?

Plenty of people can think critically in Texas. 
 

Let me say it again. You can have sympathy for people who join hamas as a misguided attempt to fix their situation. You can also condemn terrorism at the same time. 

Take it as a lesson of be careful which horse you hitch your cart to. Don't be used as a pawn, the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.

Who are you, and what have you done with early??

Sympathy for the children and disenfranchised citizens of Gaza?  Absolutely. 
 

Sympathy for a globally recognized terrorist organization?   Not so much…

These college students are being led around by a bunch of professional rioters/instigators. 

The same ones from the BLM mess.

Truckloads of pre printed signs, tents, etc...

Most, if not all, have no frikkin idea what hamas actually is,  what they stand for, or their method of operation. 

They just jump on the trendy bandwagon of yelling, and screaming in front of the glut of television cameras. 

This hateful, threatening bullshit is actually a violation of federal law. 

I'll never forget the images of these "disenfranchised" animals celebrating, passing out candy and "V" signs when planes were flown into our buildings.   Actually, calling them animals is an insult to animals. 

That's really funny, I've been saying I'm an independent, too conservative for the left, too liberal for the right. I see good ideas on both sides, and horrible execution on both sides. 

9/11 happened when I was 19 and Iraq and Afghanistan stole alot from my generation in our prime. I got no time for Muslim based American hate, or trying to turn Islamic theocracies into something else, or trying to get people in the middle east to get along. Not a big fan of Netanyahu and his government either. 

"There isn't a single classification of human adults more delusional about their own wisdom than young college students." (Quoting myself here.)

What obtuse wisdom they do have comes from the second most delusional ..college professors.

So you sound like you have sympathy for the terrorists, but condemn their terrorism. How exactly do you critically reconcile those?

You do know that Hamas was elected democratically by the people of Gaza, after Israel completely pulled out of Gaza, and that was the last election in Gaza. 

You do know that Egypt has a border with Gaza and doesn't want them crossing either, so it's not just an Israeli prison. Hamas is aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. 

You are able to see how the Hamas attack was an act of war, not an act of terrorism right?

You are aware that Hamas takes almost every bit of aid to Gaza and uses it for their own purposes right? If they cared about their Muslim brothers and sisters, and didn't focus on hating the Jews, they should have been able to bring forth some amount of progress in Gaza, but that is not their focus. 

You understand that Hamas builds military installations in civilian buildings right? That is a war crime. Hamas soldiers also are not wearing uniforms but are wearing civilian clothes, which is also a war crime. 

You have seen the videos of Hamas taking water pipe, sent to Gaza as aid to assist with better water availability, and using that pipe to make makeshift rockets right?

Hamas terrorism has only one primary purpose - eliminating Jews. It's not comparable to something like eco-terrorists. Hamas terrorism is genocidal. 

I am confused.. why do all the news articles say "anti-Israel agitator"? Is this a new term for protester or is it not PC to use that word now like illegal aliens? 

Do they realize that all the dems just voted for and passed a bill giving Israel more money? Pretty sure it's mostly left leaning folks doing this protesting. Not ironic at all..

Anyways who the fuck cares.. enjoy your right to protest and don't hurt anyone.. Feel free to go over there and protest as well and make a change. 

They are trying to thread a needle between anti-israel protesters and anti-semitic protesters. The line becomes pretty blurry.

From the clips I've seen the protests seem to be a mix of a few wannabe nazis and dipshits.

Listen and learn.

One side openly states their desire to kill the other. They don't want freedom. They don't want resources. They don't want peace. They want to kill anyone who doesn't share their morally bankrupt beliefs. Just take them at their word. I don't care a whole lot about what circumstances led them to this, let the so called religion of peace figure that part out if so many of them supposedly don't agree with them. It's been clear for a very long time that Islam either needs to clearly denounce the wackos among them embrace peace, or they need to be wiped out..... and the supposed moderates among them continue to do nothing to meaningfully address the large wacko element among them. 

These college kids protesting couldn't put together two sentences as to the history of all of this. They aren't acting out of some moral conviction or principle. You can tell by their response to experiencing consequences and the fact that they don't even bother in states and cities that don't tolerate rioting. When you protest on principle, you've accepted the consequences as being worth it and take pride in your suffering. When you protest because social media told you to and you think it makes you sound smart, any hardship associated with it isn't fair and is intolerable. It's embarrassing that their behavior is tolerated at all.

USC on every channel here right now 

The part I find most infuriating is that they know literally none of the history. They can't tell you any of it. They are 100% woke emotion and 0% knowledge. It's the same shit with a different theme every summer. Media tells them what to be mad about then goes crazy covering it and these idiot children play their part every summer. Election year so really need to ramp it up. I'm all for the first amendment and would fully support the right to protest if that's what this was, but it isn't.... this is a temper tantrum designed to make everyone else miserable...... again.... and I cannot stand it.

Israel is in no way innocent in what is going on. They just have a much higher propaganda budget with a much larger reach. 

Once again, most of this is the result of professional protesters, rioters, insurrectionists. 

All the pretty tents lined up in a row, all of the headrags passed out, all of the printed signs, many way past college age.

The same organization looking for the next tinder pile.

And you're right, very few of these useful idiots have any idea of the true nature of their rage, and organized chants.

Many of these protesters lead empty non defined lives and are hopelessly searching for meaning trying to cling to the latest contrarian cause to give their lives purpose. What do they actually think their protests will do, the only real result will draw attention to how they "feel". If it isn't Hamas, it is global warming, inhumane chicken farms, student loan forgiveness, anything except becoming productive and busy doing something constructive. The actual subject of their protests means nothing, the act of showing they are upset is the point. Anything, God forbid, except be part of the global economic industrial complex that enslaves bullshit.

easiest way to end the protest is to arrest them, make them actually have to be responsible for their actions. Expel them from school and anyone with a student visa gets sent back to where they are from. Stop letting these kids get away with this. Time to take this country back.

sorry but it's their right to be able to protest.  Why are you trying to violate the first amendment?

It's not their 1st amendment right to camp out on campus property and intimidate fellow students. Please reread the 1st amendment and you will see that the Government is not taking away their 1st amendment right. And those on a student visa are not protected by our Constitution.
