uncle bernard

unfortunately, Israel already blew up all the universities in Gaza

any pictures of these to show us?

no im the only person on here saying both were wrong

not by the palestinians

the israeli’s agree with you.

pro tip: if you find yourself against a mass student movement, you’re probably on the wrong side of history. civil rights movement, vietnam, apartheid, globalization, iraq war, etc…change your mind while you can.

tens of thousands of palestinians were killed before 10/7. tell the whole story huh?

perfect encapsulation

will you retract this post?

it was widely reported that a jewish student was “stabbed in the eye” at a protest. it’s one of the main talking points for how “unsafe” these protests are. well, here’s the video lol.

imagine unironically posting an article about someone “standing up” to protesters against South African apartheid lol. talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

He knows the answer. That's why he didn't give it.

Anybody who's ever been to a Pro-Palestine protest knows that Jews are actually far over-represented among the protestors. The most passionate activists and organizers on this issue I know are either Palestinian or *Jewish*. Jews who support the rights of Palestinians are welcome and celebrated at these events. Notice people in Kippas dancing with those in Keffiyehs. Should put a smile on any normal person's face. Contrary to what people try to tell you, people from different backgrounds CAN love one another and stand in solidarity. One of the most moving moments I've witnessed was a reading from the Torah followed by a Muslim call to prayer followed by everyone, Muslim, Jew, or neither, eating figs together at sundown while our Muslim friends were breaking their fast for Ramadan.

incredible juxtaposition between the outrage over peaceful protests and the mass death in Gaza. Yes, it's truly awful that students, many of them Jews, are sitting in public space and singing songs to protest actions they disagree with. The horror. Notice how nobody gives a shit about her being Jewish as she stands right next to a "Jews for a Free Palestine" sign lol. Meanwhile, in Gaza they are uncovering mass graves. Nearly 300 bodies discovered so far at one hospital site. In 10 years, when what is happening can no longer be denied, you will try to convince yourself that you didn't know. But you'll know deep down that you did and supported it. If you ever wondered how German civilians felt after the holocaust...you're gonna find out.

good news is that it's also not true lol

care to defend any of the above?

The ultimate irony here is that the people freaking out about them are making the books far more popular than they ever would have been. Gender Queer sold 5,000 copies initially and was marketed for young adults. There's a bit of a straw man in this thread acting like this was getting promoted to elementary school kids. Just not true. It is mostly in high school libraries with occasional middle school libraries. Middle school is debatable and I'm fine with not having it in them, but it's just ludicrous to believe high schoolers aren't old enough to handle this subject material (speaking of Gender Queer). Every one of these kids has access to the internet where they can *actually access real porn* if they want. This whole conversation is completely divorced from reality and doesn't serve anybody well.

Who is Duke's best win? I know he missed some time. Has he had much opportunity to wrestle elite guys?

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

incredibly stupid!

This is a tad disingenuous when the books they're removing are for political reasons, not space reasons. I'm all for voicing opinions on the quality of books, but government entities shouldn't be choosing what's politically correct to have in a library, be it for liberal or conservative reasons.

The way the phrase "book ban" is typically used today means removing from schools/libraries. No books are being totally banned, that's for sure. Which books are D's banning from schools and libraries? I can't find anything online.

US generals also work with proxies to attack iran/iranian proxies. i suppose you think they should be able to assassinate our generals if they want right?

calling it an assassination of two iranian generals in a sovereign country doesn’t really change anything buddy. what point do you think you’re making? and if israel has the right to assassinate generals of a country that they accuse of funding hamas, why doesn’t that country have the same right to respond to a direct attack on their citizens? maybe both things are bad and make the world worse? crazy thought.
