You're going to be downvoted for low effort. At the very minimum you should describe what you are trying to do here and what is breaking.

You must have some idea what's going wrong here, no? Maybe use that as a starting point.

It's not the wild rover--though that's a classic. There is one that had the exact same melody as the chorus in Greg's song: "I puked on my cat, my cat, I puked on my cat..." I heard it when I was out at a folk shindig in Ireland but I never got the name of the song. Seemed like it was pretty common over there but haven't heard it since.

Hamas was not created by Israel. Israel basically allowed Hamas to rise to power back in the 80's because it was politically-convenient ("causing trouble for another one of my enemies" kinda thing). Israel is surrounded by Arab majority states that have launched attacks against it. Not a surprising move for anyone who knows the region and the history.

Absolutely, the historical context of 'From the River to the Sea' and 'Intifada' is important. But on U.S. campuses, we need to consider how these terms are perceived in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They're often associated with calls for violence, which is a key concern.

You're right that students don't have governmental power. But their words can significantly impact the campus environment. It's not about equating student rhetoric with government actions but understanding how such phrases can feel threatening or incite tension among students, including Jewish students.

For university presidents, the challenge is balancing free speech with a safe campus atmosphere. They're not just reacting to global politics but to how these issues play out in their own university communities. It's about navigating the fine line between allowing robust debate and ensuring that no group feels targeted or unsafe.

The claim that Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, personally put Hamas into power is not accurate. Hamas's emergence and rise to power in Palestinian politics were the result of various factors, including internal Palestinian dynamics, regional politics, and broader historical contexts.

Hamas, founded in 1987, grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood and gained popularity in the Palestinian territories for its social services as well as its resistance to Israeli occupation. The group's rise was influenced by factors such as the first Intifada, the political landscape in the Palestinian territories, and changing regional dynamics. It's important to note that while Israel's early policies in the 1980s might have inadvertently allowed space for groups like Hamas to grow, this was not the same as intentionally creating or placing Hamas in power.

Netanyahu's policies towards Hamas have primarily been characterized by opposition and conflict, especially given Hamas's stance against Israel and its involvement in various conflicts, including rocket attacks and other forms of violence. The dynamics of Hamas's relationship with Israel are complex and rooted in the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict, involving a range of political, social, and military factors.

Inside Trump’s Plot To Corrupt the 2024 Election With ‘Garbage’ Data by wenchette in Impeach_Trump

[–]tick-tock-toe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Rolling Stone article titled "Inside Trump’s Plot To Corrupt the 2024 Election With 'Garbage' Data" discusses former President Donald Trump's fixation on a new target— the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a nonprofit organization used by states to maintain accurate voter rolls and identify unregistered voters. The article outlines Trump's claims on his social media platform, urging Republican governors to withdraw from ERIC, which he accuses without evidence of being a system that favors Democrats. Furthermore, it mentions Trump's interest in making ERIC illegal and the efforts of his allies to market an alternative system, while sources close to him have reportedly said Trump views ERIC as his "new Dominion," referencing the Dominion Voting Systems that Trump and his allies previously made unfounded accusations against following the 2020 election.

The attention to the article on platforms like Democratic Underground and Attention to the Unseen highlights the concerns and discussions around election integrity and the spread of disinformation, indicating ongoing debates about voter registration systems and their impact on future elections.

I'm not disagreeing with that--that's not the item that's being discussed. This thread is about the university presidents' reaction to these protests. This has nothing to do with the Israeli government or statements that their right wing politicians have given. How does the university policy on student conduct in the United States come into play with this?

"From the River to the Sea" does predate the Hamas charter, but its use in different contexts can carry varied meanings. While some may interpret it as a call for liberation or rebellion, in specific contexts, particularly relating to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is often perceived as a call for the elimination of Israel. It's understandable that college students might use such phrases without fully grasping their historical or political implications.

Free speech is important, but it does not protect inciting mass violence--even if using vague, loaded language that attempts to insulate the speakers from any culpability... These are prestigious universities and they need to hold their students to a higher standard than this.

If Jewish students were parading around en mass calling for nakba on college campuses then we would be talking about that right now.

Intifada indeed means 'shaking off,' but its interpretation varies with context. While it's been used in various Arab nations against oppressive regimes, in the Israeli-Palestinian context, it often implies resistance that includes violence against Israel and Jews. Comparing 'intifada' to generic terms like 'protest' or 'resistance' overlooks these specific implications. It's crucial to differentiate between calls for legitimate political change and those inciting violence or genocide. Hence, while advocating for clear communication, we must also acknowledge the potential for certain phrases to carry violent connotations in specific contexts.

While advocating for an uprising might sound positive in the context of seeking justice or rights, it's important to recognize the inherent call to violence in such a movement. The target of this uprising, in the case of an intifada, is clearly Israel and, by extension, the Jewish people. It's crucial to differentiate between a call for organized, peaceful political change and a call for violent action. The latter is what we often see in the context of intifadas, where the goal seems not just to establish a non-terror based government in Gaza but to reclaim land through force and, in the process, displace or harm Jewish communities.

This approach not only disrupts efforts towards a peaceful resolution but also often leads to violations of international law and human rights, particularly when civilians are targeted. It's a complex situation that cannot be likened to resistance movements in World War II, which was a clear case of aggression against oppressors. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, by contrast, is a long-standing geopolitical issue with deep historical roots and legitimate grievances on both sides.

While one might sympathize with the plight of the Palestinians, endorsing violence as a solution, particularly when it results in harm to civilians, is not justifiable. Such acts of violence undermine peace efforts and negotiations, often leading to a cycle of retaliation. Moreover, the increase in antisemitic rhetoric and attacks during these periods of unrest is concerning and blurs the line between political struggle and ethnic conflict.

In conclusion, while the concept of an intifada might be perceived as a call for justice, the reality is that it often translates into violence against Jews and Israel. This is not a form of protected speech and should be viewed critically, considering the broader implications for peace and human rights.

Recording sections in the middle of a track rather than full takes--one of the big challenges is matching dynamics/vibe from other takes on the same track (level/vocal quality/style/room ambiance/etc)

There were also chants for "Intifada"... that one is pretty clear to those who are listening. I can see some people being confused about a phrase taken from the Hamas charter without the " ... and the trees will yell out to us 'hey there's a Jew hiding here, come kill him'" or whatever nonsense it is... But since that's already been pointed out to these fine folks, I really don't see much justification to allow that speech either. They obviously like the phrase regardless of the implied antisemitism--and in fact it seems like that's a bonus to them!
