As Israel’s genocide against Palestine continues to escalate, students from universities across the United States are leading campus protests en masse and demanding their respective schools divest from corporations and institutions linked to Israel’s...

“I spent more than 12 hours reporting from the Gaza Solidarity Occupation at USC today. I didn’t see any antisemitism. What I did see was militarized police arrest pro-Palestinian students who were peacefully protesting,” stated Spectrum News journalist Jeremy Lindenfeld.

Jody David Armour, the Roy P. Crocker Professor of Law at the University of Southern California, said, “I’ve been here from early this morning and contrary to what’s being said by the administration, these are students, not “outside agitators” and they were not escalating. The cops have been doing the escalating!”

    You aren’t allowed to protest Israel. That’s where Jesus is going to come back. Israel can do what it wants, and America will pay for it because Jesus.

    Israel has been given a blank check and PR cover for decades. It’s finally been challenged and in such a way that globally it will never be looked at the same way again. They can try, Repubs and Dem enablers may try, but the civilian slaughter, women and children being murdered, the choking off of food and water, the mass graves, the AI killing machines, the ongoing apartheid, the never ending land grabs and illegal settlement building, the constant subjugation of an entire people. It can’t be unseen and now by more and more people. Even Schumer called for leadership change.

    It is damaging western governments who give blanket support meanwhile they and their citizens see the horrors and the hypocrisy.

    Zionists doubling down, showing how they don’t care about anyone. All they care about is maintaining power and a narrative of victimhood even when they’re the aggressors.

    Supporting Hamas in their terrorism, rape, and killings of innocent Jews is supporting anti-Semitism.

    It would be like supporting the Nazis during WW2 but saying you aren’t anti-Semitic. You can’t separate the two things.

      Except they’re not supporting Hamas. They’re supporting the innocent Gaza civilians that Isreal is indiscriminately murdering.

      Supporting the hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinians displaced in Gaza, and demanding justice for the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians killed by deliberate or indifferent Israeli military action is NOT the same as supporting Hamas and you know it.

      Wow, good thing there’s no well-documented history of Israel funding and propping up Hamas or your point would look mighty shaky. Like could you imagine if Hamas had been receiving huge smuggled sums of cash thanks to high ranking Israeli officials.

      Thank goodness because that would be a nightmare. Since we can’t seperate verbal support for Palestinian civilians from supporting Hamas and that in turn from antisemitism, I’m glad we don’t have to parse out how such an arrangement between the Israeli government and Hamas would work out in your worldview.
