A billboard truck drove through the streets surrounding Harvard’s campus Wednesday, digitally displaying the names and faces of students allegedly affiliated with student groups that signed onto a controversial statement on Hamas’ attack on Israel.
Insane. Supporters of Palestinians are always getting the hard treatment and condemnations meanwhile supporters of Israel and their occupation of Gaza are never treated the same.
it’s all because of US propaganda. the US media has tricked their readers into thinking that being anti-Israel is being antisemitic, and since 9/11 Americans tend to view Muslims as subhuman. and of course it doesn’t help that the US send tons of military aid to Israel every year
As I recall, the statement said that “Israel bears full responsibility.” I disagree with that. The Israeli government and Hamas together bear full responsibility.
I am also annoyed at the false dichotomy that criticizing one side is equal to fully supporting the other.
ah, but Netanyahu created his own enemy. he funded Hamas to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state, promoting it from a small extremist faction to the dominant force in Palestinian politics
i’m not denying that Hamas is a terrorist group. i think they’re evil too. what i’m saying is that Netanyahu funded them and propelled them to power, putting his own people at risk to further his political goals
The Israeli settlers were removed back then but that doesn’t mean it’s not occupied. That’s the official position of the state of Israel but it’s contested by many international organizations.

Yeah, everybody sucks here.
Just because a bad person reportedly funded a terrorist group, doesn’t make them not a terrorist group.

You ain’t wrong Hamas ain’t friends to the west.
But their crimes don’t excuse the crimes Israel is committing against the residents of Gaza.
What is Israel is doing is wrong and time will expose it but as of now, Gaza residents will like be either exterminated or removed from there.
With Arabs won’t do shit… Surely US or EU won’t either.
Sorry, but… where’s the lie? Israel has borne full responsibility for this since 1948 - there is absolutely nothing Hamas can do that changes that.
Removed by mod
Occupation isn’t necessary if your government controls all traffic in and out, water, power, and food.
It doesn’t. They also share a border with Egypt. Have they tried to make good diplomatic relations with them?
Fancy leaving your country and your home because someone else wants it?
US sells arms to Egypt and keeps it on short leash with respect to anything Israel.
You mean the Egypt being ruled by a US-backed and funded dictatorship? That the Egypt we’re talking about?
The Apartheid-regime didn’t “occupy” the Bantustans, either.
