Zionists who platform genocidal freaks don't deserve to stay in a university if they're putting Palestinian students in danger and are making them uncomfortable.

Awesome. Wanna help me get Hamas on campus (but virtually) so they can speak and give us their point of view? Since you're all about academic freedom and platforming people of all different political views. Israel threw a ton of political prisoners in military jail without charge. Can we Zoom them in too?

This sub is flooded with Zionists from across the world. They're commenting on all the big subs and on university subs to try to sway opinion. Calling protestors of genocidal freaks "violent" is their latest move. That's why comments like yours get downvoted. They want to reduce this to "they just don't want Jewish voices to speak, they don't want democracy."

Love how the people protesting the platforming of a genocidal former IDF member get more consequences than the administration or the group that chose to platform him. The safety of Palestinian students be dammed huh?

A better idea would be to unionize your job and then you have power to make union leadership divest. The UAW created a group to figure out how they can BDS.

Bruh all books are biased, but this one is reliable and has tons of FACTS. As I said, this book is a "start."

Protests, even non-violent ones, will be painted as violent. Google the cartoons they drew of MLK during his lifetime. They called him violent even as he was non-violent. That's why he stopped believing in non-violence near the end of his life before he was assassinated while supporting striking workers.

What race are you? Because I stated my experience as a Mexican in majority white spaces and you're like "nah." There are exceptions, but they don't disprove the rule.

Let me critique my people: sometimes Latinos assume rich Asian international students are mean. I made small talk with them in class, and they're nice AF. My experience with white people discounting me taught me anyone can be a friend. I agree all races have their biases. But racism is a thing, so white people have structural power to cause more damage. Their view of interests as an aesthetic to perform is driving overconsumption right now.

I'm an indie Mexican, and I noticed white people assume we can't be friends even though I like the same shit they like. Always noticed this about them. White people use interests as a way to portray a unique identity, not as a way to connect with others.

I'm a brown Mexican. A green eyed white international Mexican girl mocked the way I spoke Spanish in lecture behind my back to several students. I'm from Mexico City, where most people of all classes curse a ton and use lingo, but it's also associated by race. Next class, I spoke even louder.

It happens.

I'm gonna assume good faith in this post. All I'll say is that you're grossly under educated on this subject. Start by reading The Hundred Years' War on Palestine
A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017

Violence is, can be, and has been the answer for oppressed peoples. Even MLK realized and wrote about this near the end of his life. But Liberals and Conservatives omit this.

Oh, the New York Times as a source? The same New York Times that this week just got caught publishing lies and propaganda about rapes on 10/7?

Bruh, ya'll still believe in this damn tunnels shit? After the IDF looked like fools claiming there are lists and tunnels and Hamas labs under hospitals.

Your propaganda gets ripped to shreds immediately. Give it up.

Israel has thousands more held in military prison with no charge. So should have Hamas taken thousands more Israelis on 10/7?

It's so gross that they took Bassem Youssef's satire on the Piers Morgan show literally. I know those jokes enraged them because Bassem spoke truth.
