In some places you can be expelled for misgendering someone. In most schools when say, a Reilly Gaines shows up to talk there are threats of violence and her words make leftists feel 'unsafe'.

But you know what doesn't make them feel unsafe? Protesting for Hamas!

@Zigmanfreud?

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel there, huh?

Congrats, though, you found a few dozen college students milling around, so, wow. That appears to be the University of Washington which has, what, 45,000 students? Quite the turnout. Looks like more videographers and gawkers than protesters.

Meanwhile, the leader of the republican party attacked Israel, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and also mocked Israel Defense Forces.

Which -- a few dozen campus protesters or the leader of the republican party -- do you suppose has more power to persuade others and gets more media attention, huh?

If you care to expand your knowledge a little, you can turn of Fox News right now and see with your own eyes an aerial view of Times square flooded with hundreds, maybe thousands of pro Hamas protestors.

I really think this is the real Times Square and not a sound stage created by Fox News in order to manufacture more fake news but you may see it differently.

Okay, sure. Watching the Fox feed I'd say a few hundred, not thousands. Given that 30,000 Palestinians live in the New York Metro area, not much of a showing. But what's your point? That there are people who support Palestine? Yeah, we know that. That there are antisemites in New York city? Yeah, we know that. That they're all liberals or democrats? No, we don't know that.

You know what we do know?

We know that the leader of the republican party attacked Israel, attacked the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and attacked Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The leader of the republican party also mocked Israel Defense Forces.

I'll bet you're one of those lefties that doesn't believe Trump had the largest inauguration crowd in the history of forever...that he knows more than 'the generals', and that he was cheated out of his rightful place on the throne for as long as he shall live.

Bottom of the barrel? That explains your entire political philosophy.

Antisemitism is very much the mainstream view for leftists. Here's UCLA:

Personally I am focused on the Israelis getting the support they deserve and not turning the righteousness of their cause into a yet another Trump bashing screed. Ho Hum. On any given day, the left can find or dig up ten things to hate about Donald Trump. Frankly, it is getting tiresome and boring. Nothing new to see here. Kind of like how the race card was worn out.

Mr. Mendacious False Equivalence is trying to equate the very mainstream position of his political party - which is that da Jooz are colonizers and need to be wiped out - with Trump insulting Israel's government for letting this happen.

Obviously, two different things. But what can you say? Goobers gonna goober.

The more you post, Dope, the stupider you be.

That's not representative of UCLA much less west coast leftists, you clueless blowhard.

That's, what, 300 tops. UCLA has English classes bigger than that little demonstration.

The student population of UCLA is over 46,000. Those children on the steps = .00065 of the student body.

Maybe some of that Seattle fentanyl is gettin' into your head.

Only 10?

Ten ain't even warming up.

C'mon man. Any honest person can easily come up with more than 10 things that ought to disqualify Trump from serving in any governmental capacity....

If 'the right' was being honest, they'd care about all those things too.... and the same goes for the GOP with respect to "David Duke Without the Baggage", George Katana Santos, Steve Steal-the-Wall Funds Bannon, and so so many more.

On the other hand, a few dozen patriots wearing red hats are a threat to our very way of life. Bring in the FBI to keep an eye on these white supremacists.

OK, make it a hundred, even more tedious, repetitive and tiresome. Just like racists everywhere and racism is embedded in everything. Open you eyes, it is everywhere, to deny it makes you a racist.

Quite like Trumps demonic nature, it permeates the very air we breathe, if you don't join the chorus, then you too must favor a dictatorship, the very end of our democracy I tell you, that is if climate change doesn't get us first.

Patriots? Were those the guys wearing red hats and bear-spraying police, beating them over the heads with MAGA and American flag poles, and breaking into the Capitol where they spread their excrement on the walls?

Otherwise, no one cares what cultists wear.

Why don't you get real commonone. You either sensationalize or minimize current news or skew the intent of what someone has said to suit your doppel army for recs instead of having a rational discussion.

Vague. Are you referring to a specific event?

Bring in the FBI to keep an eye on these white supremacists.

White supremacists are responsible for (iirc) 80% of violent hate crimes and domestic terrorism. The FBI should ignore that? C'mon man. Law and order.

Reuters- Feb 23" White supremacists behind over 80% of extremism-related U.S. murders in 2022"
White supremacists commit the highest number of domestic extremist-related murders in most years, but in 2022 the percentage was unusually high: 21 of the 25 murders were linked to white supremacists
"All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds"

LurkerMom: And that few dozen students caught the attention of major news outlets all around the world giving it representing what the University of Washington is all about.

Well, maybe if you consider the New York Post a major news outlet.

And if you look a little deeper at the story, a graduate student at the University of Washington, Hayim Katsman, died during the attacks by Hamas in Israel and a group of around 200 gathered Tuesday night to remember the former student and to honor others who have died during the attacks by Hamas in Israel. Funny, isn't it, that his remembrance didn't go viral? https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/hayim-katsman-uw...

LurkerMom: Why don't you get real commonone. You either sensationalize or minimize current news...

So Dope1 brings a tweet here by Zigmanfreud of a few dozen protesters at UW without any information about the protesters and implies they're radical lefties who represent all liberals in the United States and you're accusing me of sensationalizing the news? Wow.

And how am I skewing the intent of what someone said when I quote Donald Trump saying: "(Netanyahu) has been hurt very badly because of what's happened here. He was not prepared. He was not prepared, and Israel was not prepared." And going on to say Israeli leaders need to "step up their game" and that Netanyahu "let us down".

And quoting Trump again: "When I see sometimes the intelligence, you talk about the intelligence, or you talk about some of the things that went wrong over the last week, they've got to straighten it out because they're fighting potentially a very big force."

Are you denying Trump's own words about the killing if Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani?

Trump again: "Israel was going to do this with us, and it was being planned and working on it for months," Trump said Wednesday. "We had everything all set to go, and the night before it happened, I got a call that Israel will not be participating in this attack."

"I'll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down."

BTW, if what Trump said is true about Israel and Soleimani, he would be revealing classified information.

Again.

Finally, are you denying that Trump praised the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah?: "You know, Hezbollah is very smart."

Tell me, why are you and the cult not upset with Trump, the leader of your party and a former president, for doing exactly what you're criticizing the students at UW for doing, only worse?

I have yet to see one of you here condemning Trump for attacking Israeli, Israeli leaders, or for praising Hezbollah. Not a single one of you.

LurkerMom: ...to suit your doppel army...

Thanks for reminding me. My doppel army has its weekly meeting this morning. Gotta' run. Love and kisses to you and the Cult.

Well, commonone.. I'm not bothering reading your comments. It's a waste of my time.

There was a time when you presented topics to be discussed with interest.

Now you have fallen to the way of the old PA, insulting fellow posters and turning
yourself into a drama queen either sensationalizing or minimizing current news.
You are now a shadow of NewE'.

Intelligent people around the world know what Universities are and how to size up a crowd. The videographer would pan out to show the huge size of the crowd if it was there. And pretty much know this is normal University stuff and normal news coverage of a tiny staged event.
