I don’t sympathise with any religious fundamentalism.

Demonstrations and heated debates about the Israel-Gaza war and free speech have rocked US campuses since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October, which prompted Israel's campaign in Gaza.
In the US, students on both sides say there has been a rise in both antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents since then.

Ms Tabassum is the 2024 valedictorian, a student picked out for high academic scores and involvement in campus life.
The decision to cancel her speech came after claims that her social media activity was antisemitic. A debate about free speech on US college campuses has intensified since the Israel-Gaza war erupted last October.
Ms Tabassum's Instagram account links to a website that criticises Israel and calls for its "complete abolishment", instead arguing for a "one-state solution... in which both Arabs and Jews can live together".
The website also claims that "Zionism is a racist settler-colonial ideology that advocates for a Jewish ethnostate built on Palestinian land".
Your freedom of speech rhetoric does go both ways, doesn’t it?
Islamophobia and anti-semitism is seemingly on the rise. Or both sides are just getting heated in debate and saying / doing things which is probably not who or what they are.
Protests on campusses aren’t anything new. They did it in the 60’s and 70’s too.
Why not? It’s not the end of the world. It’s young people being vocal about the injustices they see.
And, in Israel, there are mass demonstration against the attack on Gaza as well. So, it’s international solidarity.
Not everyone can sit back and watch ethnic cleansing happen and just shrug it off.
@divegeestersaid I’m English so I couldn’t give a crap about your small-town pin-holed perspective of life living in tiny-town Mississippi where you good white folk are only 11% of the population.
Given your hatred of blacks and yet you being surrounded by them, I can only presume that you live there to serve them in some way because you’re an uneducated lazy oaf.

And the sooner you all realise that, the better off the world will be.
@wajomasaid Sounds good right, except all that free stuff you're a fan of makes free and open immigration impossible. One or the other shag pseudy for brains.
@averagejoe1said You libs should be aware that we put you in the category of these people/students Who want America to die, while all the while, taking all that America has to offer, mainly free stuff. Then they are so bold as to say death to America, but pay our tuition loans off, so that we can get rich in America?
Personally, I think that you are all of that bent. But we are all ...[text shortened]... uld protect the rights of those people. Protest is one thing, but saying that America should die……..
Oh dear.
And another maga case of booze-fingers.
Stop snorting vodka before you post.
@wajomasaid Libertarian immigration policy: Let peaceful people cross borders freely.
An example of not a peaceful person: Crosses the border then puts their hand out for free education, healthcare, social welfare benefit, accommodation to be supplied by reluctant citizens threatened with goobermint force to do so.
@averagejoe1said No one, including Marauder, believe for ONE Second that this is not political. Evidence is quite clear that said he was going to get Trump, and would Find Something to charge him with. Russian saying: “Find me the man ,I will find the crime”
Please, no disingenuous stuff, Marauder.
Stop framing.
It makes you look like you don’t grasp what is being said…
@averagejoe1said I’m a bit confused. Oh, when Biden said “Don’t “ to Iran , and they did, did he do anything?
If Trump had benefits said don’t, do you think they would have gone ahead with it anyway? And if so, would Trump , well, go take a nap?
What the hell are you on about?
America is walking a fine tight rope on this Israeli question. They support Israel, but they don’t really appreciate murdering thousands of women and children in Gaza.
So the US administration is trying its beat to de-escalate the situation. Which is very hard to do with right-wing religious nutjobs in power. In Israel, Gaza and bloody Iran.
Iran’s response to Israel killing its generals was measured and fore-warned. The Israeli response was measured (so far).
Nothing trump could say or do would make the situation any better.

Further you must be extremely disappointed that you once had a crush on the horsefaceEXNZPMlyingkoontbytch Ard ...[text shortened]... ecause some people (not you or I, but stroker, kack, suziman) actually believe what politicians say.
@averagejoe1said Are you a gambler, Spruce? Whew. What if I am a biker covered in tattoos, and 12 little old gray haired ladies are on the jury? Or, what if I get lucky and get 12 free-wheeling bikers, people like the tattooed Shav, on the jury?
We would all know the verdict before the trial starts!!! LOL.
I do think that they should not require unanimous verdict. Something ...[text shortened]... ll decide my fate! Bank records? What are they?. I suggest you reconsider. Are you a gambler?
