Universities and colleges across the country have become embroiled in a debate over free speech in the aftermath of the massacre of Israelis by Hamas terrorists this week. Various student groups have expressed support for Hamas or their cause while condemning Israel. Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapters have even shown the image below of one of the terrorists who paraglided into Israel where hundreds of civilians were murdered, including babies. Harvard has been a particular flashpoint over strident statements of condemnation of Israel immediately after the attack. The support has led to at least one firm rescinding an offer to a pro-Palestinian NYU law student as well as calls for universities to cut off support for student groups condemning Israel.
The Black Lives Matter chapter in Chicago posted the image below which was seen as support for the Hamas attacks on Israeli citizens. It was quickly reposted by many on the Internet. Other BLM chapters have also denounced Israel and supported Palestine in the expanding war.
One of the cartoons stressed “This isn’t about Hamas — this is about Palestinians right to resist 75 years of Israeli settlers colonizing their native land.”
A coalition of 31 Harvard organizations, including Amnesty International, placed the blame on Israel for the attack. The groups issued a letter to the public as a “Joint Statement by Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups on the Situation in Palestine” on Sunday.
The “situation” in Palestine also included the reported beheading of Jewish babies, raping of women, and massacring of people at a concert dedicated to efforts to find peace.
One group described the attack as “a historic win for Palestinian resistance.” The Harvard letter accused Israel of being “entirely responsible” for the attacks:
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence. . . The apartheid regime is the only one to blame.”
Anger over these views has led to calls for censorship on campus and the firing of students who have publicly stated support for Hamas. Winston & Strawn LLP rescinded an offer to Ryna Workman, president of the NYU Student Bar Association, due to her role in a statement that Israel bore “full responsibility” for the attacks by Hamas.
As a private business, the law firm is not bound under the First Amendment.
However, some have gone further to discuss these views as unprotected free speech and suggested that law students holding such views should be prevented from joining the bar. Clearly, these students are engaging in free speech and, with regard to state action, they would be entitled to the full protection of the First Amendment.
The use of ideological grounds to bar law students from becoming lawyers is a dangerous practice that, in my view, would violate free speech protections. Like most people, I am disgusted by the actions of Hamas and atrocities committed in this attack. However, this country remains committed to many freedoms that Hamas and other terrorist groups have opposed. It is never easy to support core rights for those who support their denial in others, including the very right of existence for others. However, that is precisely the point. We are not them.
In my view, cutting off support for these student groups at state schools would violate the First Amendment. Doing so at private universities would violate core free speech guarantees. In the meantime, many of us will continue to support Israel and the many faculty and students who have lost friends or family. This tragedy has touched many. We have been in touch with family and friends in Israel who are safe. However, some expect to be called into service in the coming days. I have spoken to many of our students who are facing a nightmare of not knowing whether family members were killed or captured.
The BLM and other statements obviously cause greater trauma for many in our community who are grieving those killed or captured in Israel. However, we should direct our efforts at assisting those who have lost loved ones in Israel rather than censoring others.
Excerpt:
“If only someone had just made a few concessions, dismantled a few settlements, offered a little more land. After all, we all want the same thing, right?”
No, we don’t
No territorial dispute would cause *you* to butcher babies. No squabble over territory would cause *you* to rape and abduct women. No so-called “occupation” would cause *you* to kidnap entire families or burn them alive in their homes.
The only type of person who would do something like that is a person who *isn’t* like you. A person who thinks *differently* than you do. A person who does *not* value life or children or decency the same way that you do. A person who might proclaim they love death like you love life.

@JAFO
And right on time… photos come out of injured babies in Gaza to justify their actions.
What isn’t being said is that Hamas is using these babies and children as human shields.
The really sad thing is that the MSM is going along.
Hanity had an interesting segment on last night… right on this very topic.
-G
Indeed, G. It’s sad, but simple (and simply ignore by legacy media):
https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2e6cb7389e1cb86bf91a0b7170f7c03a
24 to 1 murder death rate for over 2 decades, jews murder 24 of them for every one of theirs.
That’s as bad or worse than the war atrocities.
It certainly isn’t less than.
No territorial dispute would cause *you* to butcher babies. No squabble over territory would cause *you* to rape and abduct women. No so-called “occupation” would cause *you* to kidnap entire families or burn them alive in their homes.
JAFO, these defenders of Hamas in the western world really underscores how far western civilization has collapsed. When the same atrocities happened 80 years ago, the vast majority of the western world supported total war to eradicate that evil from the planet. Had the Axis of Germany, Italy and Japan received the same support as Hamas is receiving today, the course of history would have been a totalitarian nightmare. These terrorist sympathizers are functionally braindead. Bezmenov warned us it will all come home to roost:
[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. […] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.
Our southern border is the gateway to our own destruction. I have no doubt terrorist cells are operating inside our border and once they attack, the current regime will not hesitate to declare martial law indefinitely.
“…leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. … They will be lined up against the wall and shot.”
That’s about the size of it, Olly. Question then becomes, should we even try to save the rest from their own disillusion once the first waves have been lined up? Quite the conundrum.
should we even try to save the rest from their own disillusion once the first waves have been lined up? Quite the conundrum.
Since they support Hamas using innocent civilians has human shields, it would be reasonable to use these Leftists for the same purpose.
That was my comment.
@OLLY,
We were already at War when the atrocities came to light.
It wasn’t until the end of the war did we know the full extent.
This is Israel’s 9/11.
I stand w Israel.
👍
“A person who does *not* . . .”
Well said.
24 to 1 murder death rate, jews murder 24 gazans for every 1 israeli murdered, that has been the rate for over two decades.
So let’s see what’s worse. You and your extended family – grandparents greatgrandarents brothers sisters children grandchildren cousins aunts and uncles – that’s the group.
You have a choice – one of your relatives gets the hamas treatment, or 24 are murdered ….
Take your pick.
Now things are in perspective, to a degree.
LOL – Wow how about that. Who is worse ?
Anyone who supports Palestine is pro-Hamas which means they support the complete destruction of the Jews.
They also don’t know the history of the land as well as they think they do.
I remember someone who supported the Palestinians claiming that they were there first.
I looked at him and asked him if he knew the Al-Aqsa Mosque. He said he did.
I then asked him if the Palestinians were there first, how did the Jews build the Temple Mount?
You know the ‘Wailing Wall’ (Western Wall) of the old temple in Jerusalem ? Did they mysteriously raise the mosque and built the ruins underneath?
Then I asked him how many Arabs live in Israel as Israeli citizens. (He didn’t know)
There are over a million Arab Israelis.
Then I asked him how many Jews live in Gaza?
There are none.
Then I asked him if he remembered Arafat and the PLO.
Asked him if he knew who Arafat’s ‘Uncle’ was.
He didn’t. Told him that Arafat’s ‘Uncle’ (Not sure if he was a blood relation) was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem during WW2
(Amin al-Husseini)
Seems he was a ‘friend’ of Hitler and wanted to have Hitler bring the ‘final solution’ to the Middle East.
(There’s a bit of history there.)
So if you support Hamas, or Fatah along w Palestinians … you’re a neoNazi.
There is no ‘apartheid’ state. The Palestinian leaders don’t want peace. They want the complete and utter destruction of Israel.
Now go back to the question about the number of Arabs living in Israel.
Think now, who’s the killers, fascists, and neoNazis.
-G
G – well stated. Here is a fascinating first-hand account of a PLO sniper (and Arafat’s chauffer) who wanted only to kill Jews, and did kill Jews, then converts to Christianity and ends up loving Jews and Israel. He also had an interesting conversation with Arafat shortly before Arafat died. This is information you won’t see in the media.
Tass Saada, Once an Arafat Man: The True Story of How a PLO Sniper Found a New Life (2008)
https://www.amazon.com/Once-Arafat-Man-Story-Sniper/dp/1414334443
I remember that story.
The problem we have is that teachers today were probably not alive during the 60’s and 70’s so they don’t understand the past 50yrs of history in the region. I have a friend who was a Marine and went into Lebanon after the bombing in ’83.
I also remember the interception of ‘Humanitarian Aide’ that was being used to build the tunnels to attack Israel.
The sad thing. Gal Gadot is correct. People are believing the propaganda.
The story is inspirational. I forgot to mention he didn’t just end up loving Jews and Israel, but also loving his own people (Arabs) even more so, and chose to set up shop in Gaza to help supply humanitarian aid.
The sad thing . . . people are believing the propaganda
That’s sad to be sure, as is the fact the MSM is basically a propaganda machine. One thing for sure, the Israelis won’t believe the propaganda, and that’s most of what counts. Israel has a strong national memory of the Holocaust and will not allow it to happen again no matter what “world opinion” says.
Suddenly, we have mind reading and “the future intent” as the be all case maker.
What “they” want to do means “everyone who isn’t with us wants to do it too”.
I think GWB taught you that, the shrub, with his idiotic wars.
When Hamas and gazans claim you want them wiped from the face of the Levant, they are correct, too.
When they say you have made excellent progress while they have not, they are also correct.
Do you really want to loft that crap when you aren’t dealing with a biased raging fool like yourself or some lefttard ?
I suppose you do, but be aware those of us that think have no reason to buy it for just one side.
And now comes Cornell’s DIE director – who is supposed to support inclusion – is saying F–k the Jews they had it coming. Real inclusive, eh?
https://nypost.com/2023/10/10/cornell-diversity-and-inclusion-director-slammed-for-tone-deaf-posts-on-israel-hamas-war/
I easily find myself of the view that those who perpetrated, planned, supported, approved, directed, funded….the Terrorist action not only should be…but must be hunted down and eliminated without mercy, quarter, or statute of limitations.
Ugly as that sounds and is….that is the way it must be.
It must be targeted, precise, brutal to the extreme, and done expeditiously.
Call it old fashioned religion….an eye for an eye… a concept well founded within Islam and other religions.
Or….call it plain ol’ revenge….or whatever you wish.
Such matters cannot be ignored, forgiven, forgotten, or negotiated much less mitigated or defended.
The brutal cold blooded slaughter of innocent men, women, and children to include infants with malice aforethought is a mortal Sin.
Hamas (and you might as well recall the presence of ISIS within Hamas) is a scourge upon humanity.
Two of every three European Jews were murdered within ten years during WWII and that is a fact not an opinion.
Do you think for one second their descendants are going to let such a thing happen again and do nothing?
Israel has been under attack since its inception by people, organizations, and national governments that proclaim Israel must be destroyed and the Jews eradicated.
This as some would say is not Bean Bag but is playing Keepers for all of the Marbles.
I stand with Israel….and stand against Terrorism of any kind anywhere and for whatever excuse given for it.
The PLO is the forerunner of Hamas and Hezbollah and several other terrorist groups.
I have seen the bullet holes in the wall of the Holiday Inn in Amman where the PLO carried out an assassination and understand the evil that has been perpetrated in the name of the Palestinians.
What was done is pure evil.
Defending it is just as bad as that is the environment that terrorism flourishes.
Back when the PLO hijacked three airliners and blew them up in the desert…..I said then that was no way to gain my sympathy.
When the Munich Olympics Massacre took place….I said that again.
Nothing has changed in that regard….I have no sympathy for Hamas, Hezbollah, or any Palestinian or anyone else that supports or is an apologist for terrorism.
+1000
Human life on this planet cannot continue as long as Hamas exists.
ROFLMAO
Although I may agree with you, I am more pessimistic. I believe you could wipe out the whole Middle East and in ten years, fighting would start again. You can’t extinguish evil.
While I agree with your sentiment…
You wrote:
“Two of every three European Jews were murdered within ten years during WWII and that is a fact not an opinion.”
Kinda hard to do.
(’39 – ’45) is only 6 years.
My father was there. ’44-’46. He ended up guarding suspected Nazi war criminals in a Dachau sub-camp.
-G
(’39 – ’45) is only 6 years.
Technically true, but I think his point can reasonably be understood as encompassing the years 1935-1945, which is 10 of the 12 years Hitler was in power. Even if we assume for argument sake that all deaths happened in the seven years 1938-1945 (1938 being crystalnacht), it’s still true that all those deaths happened between 1935-1945.
The final solution was during the war, not during Hitler’s rise to power.
Many Jews were able to escape Germany before the war.
So I’d say still 6yrs.
Like I said… its not the sentiment, but the math.
-G
I do not believe that the students in question should be stopped from becoming members of the bar. They have the First Amendment right to make statements that most of humanity would regard as reprehensible.
But another First Amendment right is Freedom of Association. That is especially true with an individual’s choice of lawyer. I have the right not to have any person who has expressed support for Hamas as my attorney.
Not really, because it’s not enforceable and you might not know.
“. . . a just settlement between Israelis and Palestinians . . .”
The only just settlement is for Israel to obliterate Hamas, and to annex Gaza.
Iran and its terrorist wing, Hamas, do not want a “two-state” solution. They want a “Final Solution.” The total eradication of Jews is part of their ideology. They boast about it daily, as do their totalitarian supporters in the West. That carnage was the result of their vicious ideology.
They said it. Take them seriously. They acted on it. Take them seriously. If you don’t, you are an apologist for butchers.
Sam
The 2+ million Gazans =/= Hamas
The 2+ million Gazans =/= Hamas
Technically true, but they overwhelmingly support Hamas and were ecstatic about what Hamas did on 10/7/23. The video evidence of that is overwhelming.
You are lying. Half are children and a majority of the adults wanted a continued cease-fire.
I was talking about adults (obviously!). But you are now the one lying. They love what Hamas did to innocent civilians, and if they now want a cease fire that’s pretty understandable since they’re the ones being pummeled. Get out of your fantasy world in which most Gazans are peace loving, and join the real world.
You loved starving the population (55% malnutrition) in the concentration camp you have been running there for them, the last 11 years blockade, so you’re a blooodthirsty monster enjoying the torture.
So I can’t blame any gazans since you’d do the same thing.
We can’t say innocent citizens since everyone knows serving is mandatory in Israel. So they were all trained solders , security, etc. More war propaganda, all of they are the enemy so all of you are too. In your case, it is more true and more believable.
Why 55% malnutrition?
Seems like thousands of rockets made it through that blockade. Maybe if Hamas’ priorities were taking care of their own people instead of killing Jews then food and medicine would have made it through.
Do you remember a set of boats that tried to run the blockade that was carrying ‘Humanitarian supplies’? In this case included cement for constructing needed buildings. This was in 2010…
Said cement was diverted to be used in building tunnels into Israel.
You support baby killers and neo nazis when you support Hamas.
Poll data? How do you know this? You think Hamas holds free and fair elections and asked the civilians what to do?
Shakdi and Anon are terrorist apologists – on the same level as a Nazi apologist.
“A coalition of 31 Harvard organizations, including Amnesty International, placed the blame on Israel for the attack.”
Behold America’s top-tier universities and the moral inversion they peddle to students, which leads to: Ideological, monetary, and military support for butchers and totalitarians. While telling the virtuous and innocent to bend over, as their enemies wipe them off the face of the Earth.
Sam
Yep, wiped off the face of the earth…
That would be Gaza, not Israel, dummy.
I see a lot of hand wringing about 1948 and everything that has transpired since. It was WASPS who aided and abetted it and with good reason. Jehovah gave that land to the Jews, along with the mandate to destroy the true usurpers who occupied it. God is good.
SPEAKING ONLY TO THE US LEGAL ISSUES INVOLVED, PUBLIC CALLS TO “FREE” ANY TERRITORY FROM GOVERNMENT CONTROL AFTER TERRORISTS JUST MURDERED 1000+ PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES & WHILE THOUSANDS OF ARMED TERRORISTS HAVE ANNOUNCED THAT THEY ARE WAITING IN THE WINGS = NOT PROTECTED BY THE US CONSTITUTION, PER THE US SUPREME COURT. ERGO, THE DANGEROUS, VILE VERMON WHO DO SO PUBLICLY CALL OUT RIGHT NOW ABSOLUTELY DESERVE CRIMINAL SANCTIONS & REMOVAL FROM US TERRITORIES.
LOL You can get out yourself Anti American skum .
Dummy screams calls to free foreign territory from a nazi regime that runs a concentration camp is against the law here…. wow what a weaseling fool. I guess we have to kick out all the grievances injuns now too… right, dummy ? That of course might be an actual case here in the USA concerning the USA and US laws, good luck with that it won’t fly.
The bigger problem of course is you , the moron, are actually guilty of what you’re babbling about. “Wipe out hamas” – well that’s another nation’s government, duly and democratically elected, a DEMOCRACY you mooks whine about all the time.
So you can hut hut hut yourself into Gitmo. ( yeah we ain’t gonna just let cha go )
Have fun sitting in the clink till you figure it out – let the estrogen wear off it might become clear then.
Fantasy minutes are now over.
Wow.
I guess no one bothered to tell shakdi that Hamas has been recognized as a terrorist organization.
That’s great you got one like and have called for total genocide. You fit right in.
It’s a complete travesty to call Harvard, Columbia, Penn, Stanford, etc. schools of “higher education” when they are nothing of the kind.
I’ve been saying this for years, but it bears repeating for the slow learners out there. These schools are merely Leftist Indoctrination Entities (“LIEs”).
The LIEs don’t do anything to promote education. And the typical Harvard grad today couldn’t even find Israel on a map. Ever wonder why no “professor” at Harvard has won a Nobel Prize in the sciences in the last 10 years? Wonder no more. Harvard long ago shifted its emphasis from higher education to promoting and inculcating leftist propaganda into the feeble, easily programmable little “minds” of its “students.” Harvard and its ilk are simply garbage-in-garbage-out factories of dangerous leftist, woke ideology.
JONATHAN – ALL DUE RESPECT, BUT THIS IS TEXTBOOK, UNPROTECTED 1A INCITEMENT TO KILL SPEECH THAT YOU SHOULD BE FINALLY JUMPING OFF THE FENCE FOR! That you nonetheless remain on the fence even here, means there really is no Speech that you would find unlawful & undeserving of civilized community. Now THAT is concerning!
Nobel prizes are utterly corrupted, where have you been… so not saying it’s a badge of honor not getting any, but getting any now is a badge of certain dishonor.
The Palestinian Catastrophe. Nakba. Israel represses speech touching on the 1948 destruction of the Palestinians’ or Nakba. The one “true” democracy in the Middle East strictly opposes free speech.
Yeah I just saw that it’s amazing what is covered up and how dumb most people are because that’s the goal.
That year, 1948, all the years after it and some years before it are a bit too modern to pulling crap (the brits rewriting the maps) and all the goonberries still doing it.
We have the Nuland Ukraine overthrow in 2014 – 5 billion is what is claimed was spent on it I’d bet it was more, probably double plus – and then they whip up that war knowing all along – of course I remember the news with the battle of the bonuses – 15 billion from Russia or 15 billion from the EU – so the bribery there was out in the open…
Now we know besides blackrock and vanguard and another company I forget the name, there’s a bunch of the Ukraine farmland bought up they rewrote the law in 2021 so it could be snatched up … so a lot of the wars aren’t what the liars claim – and then there’s constant flow of BS and spin and denials (usually all the accusations are fairly accurate, though not always, like the syria gassing bs or putin blew up own pipeline , etc)
Yeah it’s just all amazing – so they snuck in the 1948 deal a bit too late, now the crapstorm is never going to end.
So we’ve got too listen to it from the chest pounding morons … good timing the Ukraine money just blew apart in congress, so it’s perfect timing – wow what a cohencidence, another one, because Ukraine followed that exact pattern from Afghanistan- and they lined up those arms from there. No doubt all parties agreed and loved it.
Here is a website that offers some hourly, on-the-ground reporting of the Gaza situation.
https://israelpalestine.liveuamap.com/
12 hours ago – 31°30′N 34°27′E
Palestinian Ministry of Health: 1,100 dead and 5,339 wounded as a result of the Israeli bombing of Gaza
This just in, two Japanese cities hit with nuclear bombs. Dresden firebombed. Carthage sacked.
When you kill innocent citizens, kidnap and rape women, kill children and old people and yes, even kill men, you reap what you sow. The Gazans voted for this, they support this, they have nobody to blame but themselves. They have had 8 different opportunities to have peace and prosperity, they chose war and genocide.
It is too late to save Gaza, it is over for Hamas and it is about time that Iran paid the price for basically declaring war on Israel.
LOL – you’re funny. The other side told me the same thing about you, you asked for it, and you got it.
Can’t say I’d call either of you more wrong but I’m not buying your BS.
I see you’re the only reply to my vid question below, but all I got from you was propaganda.
There’s no way in hell I can say they attacked first and neither can you, because it’s BS.
hullbobby….Amen!
@Hullbobby,
While I agree with what you are saying in principle lets correct some facts.
First, if you’re going to talk about Dresden, you really should talk about the London blitz bombings.
At least in Dresden there was some military significance. London, not so much.
Japan is a bit of a different issue.
At the conference in Casablanca (if memory serves)… to appease Russia, only unconditional surrender of the Axis powers would be acceptable.
This meant that without the dropping the bombs, the US would have to have invade the main island of Japan.
(My uncle was to lead a platoon in the second wave. ) The number of US casualties alone was going to be huge.
Based on what happened at Okinawa, it was anticipated that millions of Japanese would have committed suicide and many in the Japanese military would have fought to the death. Dropping the bombs actually saved countless lives. (Including my Uncle who instead was stationed in Hokkaido as part of the occupation force.)
The reason I point this out, is that knowing and understanding history is important because it provides clarity and perspective on the situation.
That said… Hamas pushed out Fatah in terms of ruling Gaza, however Fatah has since become just as radicalized….
Hamas will not stop until Israel is gone. You can bet that if Iran could develop a backpack tactical nuke… they would ship it off to Gaza where they’ll bring it in and detonate it in Israel.
Hamas has taken over Gaza and its to the point that you can no longer separate Hamas from the Palestinians.
It is absolutely critical that Harvard students are free to express themselves and the rest of us should judge them by there expression
But you forgot something. Anyone who wants to express Israel support and denounce the enemy is out on their butts or in severe hardship on campus.
So yes, be a judge but it isn’t the enemy who doesn’t get to speak.
Well, I see this whole map thing, and the changes, isn’t that interesting.
Anyone want to tell me what they got wrong ?
Every time you attack and lose you will shrink. Ask Germany, ask any country in history.
Indeed free speech matters. And yet the bar “regulates” itself. Other professions such as shrinks and psychological gurus tho actilually ban ppl from their profession if they don’t “think^ correctly. Hence you can’t get a psych major if you don’t “believe” in gay marriage. Or if you don’t believe in “trans” by modern “medicine.”. But the bar is different. We have ethics. A major one is to report if a deadly crime is afoot. So when someone cheers for more massacre…it’s not just free speech. It’s conduct repulsive to the bar. Because ethically….it violates our rules. And so yes they …speech or not should be ineligible for the bar. That does not stand for killing unsuspecting innocent ppl let alone anyone.
Israel should do for Kfar Aza what the French did for Oradour-sur-Glane.
The Harvard student groups have tacked an addendum onto their statement. The addendum states that the Chinese bear sole responsibility for the Japanese rape of Nanking.
Mehdi Hasan: “What the past 48 hours or so has revealed is that there are a lot of people who mourn for dead Israeli civilians but not dead Palestinian ones, and a lot of people who mourn for dead Palestinian civilians but not dead Israeli ones. What has happened to our collective humanity?”
And we see this in the comments here.
People don’t tend to mourn for those that kill. How much sympathy did the world have for the Germans in 1945? The Japanese? When you support genocide, which the DULY ELECTED Hamas does, then you lose.
LMAO you aren’t the world’s opinion dummy.
The hypocrisy is stark and rage is real.
That’s the funny thing.
Too bad you idiots over there can’t get along, it is clear it was a big dumb plan from the start, and the whirlwind is still reaping.
Hamas was elected with 50% of the vote 17 years ago. There has not been a vote since. You have no way of knowing what the vote would have been 2 weeks ago, but a majority of Gazans said they favored a continued cease-fire.
Over 2 million people live in Gaza, and half are children. Most are not members of Hamas. That you cannot even mourn the deaths of innocent children tells us about you, not them.
It explicitly says “civilians,” not those that kill. You are too hate-filled to even understand what it says.
Poor confused Anon.
Do you mourn for the people who willingly act as human shields to protect Hamas as they launch attacks at Israel?
Hamas pays compensation to the civilians who’s family members are killed.
-G
I’ll side with companies/corporations that desire to hire those who are representative of their values, goals, and beliefs. When weighing the choices of candidates for a position, companies have every right to choose the right candidate for them over someone who does not measure up to their expectations. It is incumbent that Interrogating a candidate as to their values and beliefs also be used to choose the right candidate.
Harvard: so much for veritas
“I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the Boston telephone directory than by the 2,000 people on the faculty of Harvard University.”

“The Nazis tried to hide their war crimes. Hamas is livestreaming theirs.”
– Bari Weiss
I don’t disagree, but they should sure pay the consequences of their actions. Combined with the other aspects of their ideology, with this stance on the Hamas attacks there is literally no discernible difference between these progressives and Nazi Germany, and it is very, very concerning. The writing has been on the wall for a while now. If this doesn’t wake other liberals from their slumber, nothing will.
So the gaza concentration camp isn’t like nazi germany’s auschwitz … ?
Tell me that with a straight face.
They can leave.
Not possible on an actual concentration camp.
google right now : Can people leave Gaza?
The closing of the border crossings with Israel and Egypt, and ongoing Israeli airstrikes, have made it effectively impossible to leave Gaza. An expected Israeli ground operation will make it even harder.2 hours ago
another one by google right now
” Most of the territory’s residents are unable to leave due to a years-long blockade maintained by Israel and Egypt.2 hours ago”
LOL you got a like but I’m giving you the WRONG.

http://www.btselem.org › freedom_of_movement
Nov 11, 2017 — As part of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, Israel prohibits Palestinians from entering and leaving the area except in extremely rare cases
It appears you are absolutely incorrect
2018
Palestinians have been protesting for weeks for the right to leave Gaza; in the last two days, tens of thousands have joined in. Under an 11-year blockade by Israel and Egypt, life there has become a painful struggle.
So for 11 years, a concentration camp.
What did the newly formed State of Israel do to the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian’s residing in their homes in ’48?
Shak, comparing Gaza to Auschwitz is a cruel joke. I don’t remember the Jews voting to attack and kill the Germans in 1938…do you? I don’t remember the Jews having many peace treaties submitted to them…do you?
If Israel wanted to kill every person in Gaza they have the power to do so, but it is the weak, dumb, unsophisticated people of Gaza that say OUT LOUD that they want to kill all the Jews.
Shak is a Jew hating liar and I have to wonder if he wasn’t gleeful watching the young girl being loaded into the jeep full of men.
I don’t buy your spin and propaganda so you think whatever you want. At least you admitted the only people in danger of being wiped out are in Gaza, so you’re a bit better than the other raging liars.
The biggest liars of course are the “we’re all gone again” ones, that would be you know who. Crybabies and liars for 75 years.
You stuffed your stupid butts in there and of course the whole world saw it and you’ve had 75 years of the hell you bargained for, and then the open concentration camp that has been starving for 11 years (55% malnutrition) screams were gonna kill you all and you use that as a propaganda cudgel as if anyone buys it other than retards.
I post the diminishing and increasing map and not a one of you steps up with anything other than we won the wars.
Who can claim anyone should buy what has gone on ? No one really. Every average person on the face of the earth would do the exact same thing as those in gaza do. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. All of you would do it instantly as is obvious by all of your raging spews.
I might say something else if any one of you had a sane take on any of it, like a reasonable adult, but none of you do.
So you two sets of jerkoffs over there should figure it out and get along – and since you butted in, the main responsibility is on you. Well, that’s blown to heck, huh. I see by the near to fair vid, a war in 48, the founding. LOL Yeah that is LAUGHABLE because it’s so ridiculous.
So pretty much because “your people’s homeland” (GAG) decided near a couple thousand years too late it was going to make a move – the whole region is warring disaster for – yeah 75 years and counting. It keeps wiping out the 3 major religions living together and heck, there are new purges all the time.
Don’t give me that CRAP “we let others live here” either – because that is nothing but human shielding besides you have to or it will get even worse with much less support, maybe none. I don’t see either one of you as angels or devils but the whole idea has been a disaster.
There’s a BUNCH of Indian nations here in the USA. In case you were wondering there seems to be a kind of formula for some limited success. GET A F’N CLUE. lol Yeah, get a clue for pete sakes.
I would, but this is a typed message.
Clearly you have no clue about history.
So yes, I am saying this with a straight face.
Don’t believe me… Go visit Dachau just outside of Munich if memory serves.
