    “People” does not mean “civilians”. You are wrong again.

    Try again

    I don't think Palestinians have an equal right to life. They are the enemy.

    Wikipedia says "The vast majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip: over 34,262 have been killed, 70% of them are women and minors." So 70% would be 24 thousand and that is "women and minors". How many male civilians do you think might be added to that? Zero? Another half? Another quarter?

    ANYTHING to conflict and fight, eh?

    what is going on in College campuses

    Basically a bunch of uninformed idiots. Simple as that. Let's not try to complicate what it is.

    You do realize that it is Hamas that CLAIMS there are 30k thousand civilians killed, do you not?

    Presenting this number as if it has any significance is like stating that Baghdad Bob says that no American tanks have made it to Baghdad.

    Sincerely, you dont honestly think that Hamas' claim is worth anything do you? If for some strange reason you DO think that their word means anything, my question would then be why do you think that?

    That is a biased RW opinion based on a denial of history. So far your claim of such things being more common on the left remains to be seen.

    1) 70% women and children is an unsubstantiated myth. You shouldn’t believe in myths and fairytales.

    2) I repeat, “people” are not all “civilians”. You are confusing the two.

    So, what else can “people” include that does not mean civilian? I’ll be drum rolling while I wait for you to figure it out

    It's clear that these are terrorist sympathizers.

    As if there were anything wrong with a biased RW opinion. What history am I denying? Muslims and the West have been enemies since Mohammad.

    I know I said that I was going to ignore any posts stating that somebody here supported Hamas' terrorist attack on Israeli soil. And there are already several of the "usual suspects" (posters we don't take seriously anyway) making such wild claims.

    But your post appears so categorical, that you deserve a chance to show us. So could you please quote a poster who thinks Hamas' terrorist attack was justified. Shouldn't be too difficult if, as you say, there are plenty of them.

    I am legitimately curious...

    Oh please I have no need to think whatever nonsense you put forth. I will do my own thinking based on the facts on the ground, which are glaringly obvious to anyone who doesn't let mediamatters or MSNBC (there I go repeating myself again) do there thinking for them. About half of the dingleberries involved in this crap were the usual woke idiots that inhabit the dregs of the sociology department and the usual misguided idiots you can find about any college campus know nothing little trolls who jump on whatever band wagon happens by at the moment. The other half are the usual leftist agitprop that get paid to go hunt trouble by a variety different Non government groups intent on cannibalizing the west at the earliest opportunity. Most have no idea what the war VS Hamas is about, they go pick up their mass produced signs that they never read put on mass produce t shirts and chant whatever dim wit slogan the mob bosses have prepared this time. They get their dumbasses arrested eventually and get paid for the trouble and go back to mommies basement and wait for the next call to arms.

    It reminds me of when MAGAs used to downplay the Covid Pandemic to justify Trump's incompetent handling. We would say something like "there have been 34K dead for Covid" and they'd complain because there were only 30K. Of course we know that, in the end, Trump's blunders ended with the worst handling of the pandemic in the world and over a million Americans dead. But it's significant that they think that an ongoing crisis is done before it's done. Palestinians die every day. The number, be it 30K or 34K is a SNAPSHOT. But they are both tragic. Arguing a number that keeps growing is ridiculous. And the number will continue growing until there is peace.

    I have asked this same question several times and you have not answered it.

    Hamas hides behind and among civilians. In attacked Hamas it is almost inevitable that many civilians will be killed. Hamas and Iran want Israel and Jews to cease to exist. They are calling for the extinction of over nine million jews.

    What would you propose Israel do?

    There is only ONE solution. The one proposed by the students in these protests: the two-state solution.

    Well that post sure is a lot of rambling on about nothing!
    Since you've made your accusations, I am going to call out your thought process, your education, and where you would like to take our country. Copied from another post.
    We'll call it "Cultural Marxism"
    Critical pedagogy is a philosophy of education and social movement that developed and applied concepts from critical theory and related traditions to the field of education and the study of culture.[1]

    It insists that issues of social justice and democracy are not distinct from acts of teaching and learning.[2] The goal of critical pedagogy is emancipation from oppression through an awakening of the critical consciousness, based on the Portuguese term conscientização. When achieved, critical consciousness encourages individuals to effect change in their world through social critique and political action in order to self-actualize.

    "Marcuse champions non-integrated forces of minorities, outsiders, and radical intelligentsia, attempting to nourish oppositional thought and behavior through promoting radical thinking and opposition. ....."

    "The intelligentsia is a status class of educated people engaged in the complex mental labours that critique, guide, and lead in shaping the culture and politics of their society."

    "Modern industrial societies have furthermore created an "affluent society", which in increasing comfort have disguised the exploitative nature of the system, and have therefore strengthened means of domination and control. Modern "affluent society" therefore limits opportunities for political revolution against capitalism....."

    Max Horkheimer first defined critical theory (German: Kritische Theorie) in his 1937 essay "Traditional and Critical Theory", as a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only toward understanding or explaining it. Wanting to distinguish critical theory as a radical, emancipatory form of Marxist philosophy,

    Hamas has called for the extinction of Israel. That sounds like a one state solution.

    What I find distressing is that they will move on and become Professors at Progressive, IVY league Universities like their predecessors.

    They're aiding and abetting terrorists. They're inciting violence.

    I have two kids who attended university, and MY expenses amounted to approx. $50,000. I initially kept a ledger, and without regret, I threw it away.

    Thus, reference to the protesters, whose education money are they wasting?
