Since we are not getting the facts from mainstream media, with the student protest at US colleges inform the public of the genocide in Gaza?

[Kelley1]

[DrPepper12]

Hope so. Israel has become a theocratic, authoritarian, fascist apartheid state led by a war criminal directing the best fed, best equipped, best trained terrorist organization in the world - the IDF toward a genocide.

[strateguy632]

none of those words were used correctly. learn English you sound like "the sky is always green n pink n red".

[Avicenna]

@strateguy632: Yeah, and isn't it funny how Israel is 20% Arab while there are no Jews in Gaza.
If leftists think that Israel is "theocratic, authoritarian, fascist, and apartheid", why are they supporting Hamas and the rest of the Palestinians (who are all of those things on steroids)?

[DrPepper12]

@strateguy632 prove me wrong with reputable sources

[DrPepper12]

@Avicenna and how are those Arabs treated? GAZA IS ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED TERRITORY! I noticed you omitted the west bank... Wonder why? NO ONE is supporting Hamas except the 3 radicals they find for faux news.

[Avicenna]

Hamas has significant support on the West Bank as well.
Israeli Arabs have it much better than their Arab cousins do elsewhere. Notice how they aren't leaving Israel and some of them serve in the IDF. Is it perfect for them? No, but the same can be said for many Israeli Jews as well.

Now, as for your claims that Gaza is "illegally occupied territory", do you admit that there have been no Jews living in Gaza since 2005 and that Gaza has been under the control of the Palestinian Authority and (primarily) Hamas since 2005?

[Avicenna]

Do you admit that Hamas is "theocratic, authoritarian, fascist and is practicing apartheid". Any failure on your part to fully answer this question is an admission on your part that Hamas is all of those things, in addition to being mass murderers, rapists and war criminals as well as human rights violators.

[DrPepper12]

@Avicenna Since 1947 Israel has gone from defender to aggressor! With out support and $! The PA is corrupt AF unfortunately. Yes, Israeli Arabs DO have it better comparibly

[DrPepper12]

@Avicenna Hamas are terrorists, mass murderers, rapists and war criminals as well as human rights violators. No argument there! They are every word I said except apartheid. So whataboutism is your defense? C'mon, I expected more from Ibn Sina! I ❤️ the name by the way!!

[Avicenna]

So, Israel, who you want to abandon, is fighting for its life against terrorists, mass murderers, war criminals, and rapists who hate the US as well. Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, PIJ, the PA and others are obviously the aggressors. And the Palestinians support them. So tell me, what is the real problem here? It's not Israel, which would like to make peace. It's Iran and its terror proxies.

Israel makes it work with an Arab minority. None of the Arab countries do.

[DrPepper12]

@Avicenna I never said abandon. You did. The mass murders and war criminals include Bibi, likud and the IDF by the way. JFC TAKE THE LONG VIEW from the balfour declaration 1917!! Then assess aggressors

[Avicenna]

You clearly don't know the difference between self-defense (Israel) permitted by international law and aggression/mass murder (the Palestinians). But all lies on your part are worth it to "get the Jews", right".

Jews have lived in what is now Israel and the West Bank for thousands of years. The "Palestinians" have consistently rejected an Arab state because they want the State of Israel for themselves and don't want to make peace. That's the reality.

[DrPepper12]

@Avicenna first, I was born Jewish, married Jewish and kids were brought up in Jewish culture so take that and shove it second, have you even SEEN the UN 1947 partition plans? Do you know the history of Jewish migration to Palestine 1917-1939? Don't play coy with facts. THE ISRAELIS ARE THE AGGRESSORS AND THE CORRECT TERM IS GENOCIDE

[Avicenna]

I'm well aware of it- I'm Jewish, but not a crazed leftist nut like you. Do you know the history of Arab pogroms against Jews in the era you refer to, and in other Arab countries as well? The history of Arab rejection of the two-state solution? The number of Arab states that attacked the infant State of Israel and ordered Arabs to leave so they could kill all Jews?

Of course you don't- nor do you even have the slightest idea what genocide actually is.

The facts don't support you.

[DrPepper12]

@Avicenna wow. Assumptions not in evidence counselor. I know all of it. I'm a history teacher and could teach you if you plenty. We'll have to agree to disagree. Shalom.

[handsomelad70]

If you mean "DO the anti-Gaza massacre college student protests inform American public opinion," I lean towards yes.

[Avicenna]

Inform them of Hamas propaganda? Yeah, but that's about it...

[Avicenna]

These are paid "protests" (really theatrical performances) that include more outside agitators than actual students, and some students have admitted they don't understand what the "protests" are even about.

But, sure, entitled undergrads know everything and the rest of us know nothing about Israel legally defending itself against Hamas terrorism, mass murder, rape, hostage taking, torture of hostages, and other war crimes.

[handsomelad70]

One quarter true, three quarters rightist propaganda, Avicenna.

[Avicenna]

@handsomelad70: It's 100% accurate. But I'm not surprised you think the rapes, mass murder, torture of hostages, etc. committed by Hamas and even Palestinians "civilians" is "propaganda".

[handsomelad70]

Dude, I think the Israelis have the perfect right and duty to rid their country of the Hamas criminals, but not to create a human rights catastrophe in Gaza, an area about the size of Detroit, Mich.

[Surely]

Since %50 of the voters like this war monger president. We may never hear the truth if it goes against the current administration’s policies and kickback schemes!
So far, it seems, Israeli was poked first and now wants to retaliate to the maximum extent. Nothing wrong with that!

[Berethor]

Fuck Gaza, a Isreal allow aid to Gaza, why you care so much about those arab-muslims?

Oh wow. "Mainstream is getting facts wrong" - we are so lucky that we have you, that sit 10 791 km away from this shithole and KNOW EXATLY what is going on. 🙄 You dont even know what is going on IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY.

That is the problem todays youth, they honestly think that they have all figured out - that is hilarious.

[strateguy632]

[Pterodon]

There is no genocide stupid
