Some 70% of the 35,000+ dead Palestinians since Oct.7th are women and children, according to figures published by the Palestinian Health Ministry. Israeli, American and U.N. officials say the death...

I agree the Israeli government and Palestinian leadership are only two pieces. They are the most important actors, but the conflict certainly involves regional and international players as well:...

Not likely. Hamas's key demand has always been the complete withdrawal of IDF troops from gaza following a permanent ceasefire, which the Israeli government has been clear it would never accept.  ...

It’s the nature of Hamas being an irregular force rather than a government's military. Israel doesn't have any obvious and easy targets to go after. If instead of Hamas the attack had been conducted...

Probably has to do with the massive power discrepancy between Israel and Palestine, and how it's being used quite brutally. This has zero judgement on validity, justifications, etc. Simply...

Still seems a bit problematic to be enforcing shaky historical land rights dating back 2500 years to a guy who may or may not have existed.

And the argument can be made both groups have a...

Their visa is tied to them being a student. If they get suspended for participating in these protests their visa can be terminated. Although it is up to the school to report it to DHS.

I am not sure I understand. I was talking about the idea that Israel thinks this land is theirs because King David granted them the “holy” land 2500 years ago.






Oh, I’m sure I didn’t get...

I am not sure how I am rewriting history. It really depends on what line of reasoning you like to subscribe to.

The Israelites taking the lands from the Canaaites could and is very well...

Israel’s claims based on events occurring 2500 years ago is a bit much. The only legitimate argument Israel has is its creation on British mandate. But people were living there at the time. The...

Perhaps it is that simple. But the fact they feel the need to tie their sexuality into their support makes me think it is more likely an oppressor versus narrative mixed with a lack of complete...

Queers for Palestine has existed fo 10+ years, well before the attacks on Oct. 7, so what do you think it is?

I wasn’t really speaking to the current protests, more a general comment that it is possible to support the rights of someone with divergent, even deplorable, views. But there is definitely some...

Is it possible the idea behind “queers for Palestine” is that they can be against innocent civilians being killed, even if those civilians live in a nation that persecutes gay people. I am not saying...

Here in Chapel Hill the protest had been peaceful for days because there had been dialogue. After initially putting up tents, protesters asked for a meeting with the chancellor to take them down. The...

If he is talking about what happened at UNC-CH, I live within walking distance to where they are protesting. I’ve been down there a few times ( only as a curiosity, no interest in being involved as...

Understood. The misc isn’t necessarily the place we can present a complete thought or argument. The above criticism is more in depth than “she is a paid actor who is mentally unstable”. I don’t...

I don’t know this person and maybe she is what you say she is. I did a google search and I disagree but I could be wrong. But I do know people who are in a similar situation and have spent a good...

The entire BDS movement is wild to me. Companies on their list like Google, Amazon, Intel, Apple , Hewlett Packard, etc… are essentially in every person’s 401k and every ETF these universities own....
