Palestine college student protest megathread

[Landslide Lyndon]

They have brain rot because they spend all day and night in the social media cesspool. That makes them easy marks for Russo-Chinese propaganda.
If they really cared about  peace, justice, and democracy then where the f**k have they been the last two years when a real genocide was taking place in Ukraine?
Why haven't they said a single word for all the atrocities at Sudan?

[Landslide Lyndon]

It's not that these people care MORE about Palestine than about Ukraine.
There were horrible videos of dead women and children, brutally murdered by Russian soldiers in Bucha, Mariupol, etc, and these same people, who now scream genocide, had nothing to say. They didn't give a f**k. Judging by that the only conclusion is that in their rotten brains Ukrainian innocent lives are worthless and don't deserve to be protested.

I saw it on social media people with Ukraine flags in the bio and being anti-Russian aggression. About the only segment of pro-Russian and pro-Putin Americans are MAGA Trumpers who hate Zelenskyy.

Patently false. The far-left is even more rabidly pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine than the MAGA idiots.
Unless of course Greenwald, Tracy, Susan Sarandon, Jill Stein, etc. are considered MAGAs.

And Jeremy Corbyn.

Our communist party has the unique distinction of calling both Zelensky and the Israeli government Nazis.

 Who in the United States government was blocking Ukraine aid and spouting Kremlin propaganda? It was many prominent members of the GOP in both the Senate and House.

You said they were the only Americans who are pro-Putin which is definitely not the case. I already mentioned some prominent members of the online left and I could mention much more who are as rabidly pro-Putin as MTG or Tucker Carlson.

[Landslide Lyndon]

You mentioned some kooky celebs who have no power in Congress. I can name members of Congress who spouted pro-Kremlin talking points like J.D. Vance and MGT.

The fact that they don't have the same power and influence in the Democratic party as Putin simps have in the Republican party doesn't mean they don't exist in substantial numbers and don't spew every day Russian propaganda.

I'm sorry but I have zero respect for these "idealistic" young people.

Protesting against Israel's war crimes is one thing. Touting your support for a terrorist organization (or even tolerating the presence of such people) shows to me that you are either unserious or evil.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I'm sure they're devastated knowing they don't have the support from some Greek guy on the Internet

Considering that I come from the most pro-Palestine European country, they probably should be at least a bit concerned.

911?
I want to report a murder.

I don’t care whether you think Israel’s actions in Gaza are justified or not. The actions and conduct of these protesters has been straight up despicable and you should be ashamed of yourself if you’re still supporting them.

They're certainly not doing their cause any favors.

It seems to be a trend in this country where protests don't really evoke sympathy or support in our society, and often fuel the reverse.

See also: the George Floyd protests.

The Floyd protests were extremely successful (even the republican party/the Trump admin had to absorb some of its energy) the backlash appeared much later.

It's been irrefutably proven that most of the agitators in the Floyd protests were racist assholes (like the Rittenhouse idiot) who wanted to discredit the Black Lives Matter movement.

You can thank me later.

This is isolated examples, not "most of".

Sure they are.

Don’t Forget the Backlash to the ’60s

Seeing how a lot of people like to point to the 1968 protests and say how they were "on the right side of history", this article is a good reminder of what actually came of those protests.

Unless Biden thinks of reinstating the draft and sending US troops to Gaza then this comparison is just lazy.

I can't stress enough just how much >90% of employed people despise protests like this. The left has completely failed to appeal to working people and there seems to be no interest in fixing that.

These people aren't the left. These are extremist loons who have more in common with Alex Jones and David Duke than with any mainstream Democrat.
