“Courtesy of th US of A” is more anti-US fluff than bare truth. Netanyahu and those of power in Isreal are due far more credit. Everyone involved is shite.

i mean, the us of a is literally financing it…
Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No, political officials are enabling it. The majority of Americans do not support it, myself included. My initial point is that pointing the big fat finger at the US, while not mentioning the people LITERALLY killing eachother, is typical anti-US fluff. I get fed up with people doing that, even if I detest our involvement.

We deserve plenty of credit and i think passing it off as fluff is pretty disheartening to be frank.
Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world 9 months ago
What about this whole debacle ISN’T disheartening? Blaming the US, pointedly, for something we’re involved in IS moreso fluff… believe it or not, Isreal and Palestine are to blame. All other actors are just playing the same fucking role, as always, in the ever grinding meat-wheel of warfare. There are no “heartening” tales from this. I would LOVE to see the US have no involvement, for a change, but that’s not how “allies” work. Geopolitical fuckery will ever stand in the way of true peaceful avoidance for any country tied to ones at war.

Without our funding they couldn’t do what they are doing. We are paying for the genocide. Take that shit somewhere else you liberal nazi.

Admin at this school is suspending students based on their political beliefs. They use the bad faith arguments that opposing Israel is equivalent to antisemitism. The same tactics that the Chinese government has uses.
Woozythebear@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Oh shut the fuck up, you don’t know shit about China and they have nothing to do with this. They actually support Palestinians unlike genocide Joe

There’s massive student protests for Palestine going on at American universities right now. The universities are calling in the police to arrest their students. Some have locked down their universities and moved to online-only lessons to ignore the protests.
Gigan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Why do they care so much about the protests that they are having the students arrested? I don’t get it. Just let them protest

Protest is generly seen as criminal in the US in my experience. The average person is unable to see the bigger picture that protest slot into and even in cases like this where nobody is inconvenienced somebody or some institution will cry about it.
UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yep. A lot of people are uninformed and see protest as a disruption. Most people, even educated have tunnel vision sometimes. The people that get the big picture and are empathetic or considerate the ones who protest.

US is not a freedom country, it is religious country. France is freedom country. “Liberté, égalité, fraternité”.

Students are walking out of class and “occupying” spaces, joined by non-campus outsiders sometimes. Police are calling it trespassing and arresting them if they don’t disperse.
