It is certainly a sign of moral and cognitive backwardness in this nation that to speak out against the systematic murder of civilian noncombatants is to be called pro-hamas.
To protest the killing of over 13,000 innocent children is to be reviled, called a criminal, and to risk arrest.
Isn’t it also backwards that the conservative, who always seems to be on the lookout for government tyrrany, should call for the arrest of those who speak out against their own government supplying bombs that are to be dropped on innocent children.

"I don't know why people are calling protesters #Hamas supporters, they're only saying 'we are #Hamas' and 'intifada revolution'!" - You, apparently
Protestors against the expansion of the Vietnam war into Cambodia were called “communists” “bums” and “disloyal to the United States”. Some were killed by national guardsmen, firing into the crowd of American citizens.
Protestors against the South Africa apartied system were called “communists” “terrorists” and “thugs”. Nelson Mandela remained on US terror watch lists until 2008.
I reject and condemn the human rights violations of the Viet Nam war, I reject and condemn the South African Apartied system and I reject and condemn the deliberate killing of unarmed civilian noncombatants of any nation.
Call me what you will.
It is a wink wink. They want to try to hide their genocide support.
It is certainly a sign of moral and cognitive backwardness in this nation that to speak out against the systematic murder of civilian noncombatants is to be called pro-hamas. Just like Hamas you think taking people hostage is ok and taking over buildings? Did you even read the article that explains why the police were involved?
No I think taking over others people’s land and buildings is wrong. Damaging or destroying other people’s buildings and keeping people captive, denying them food and medical care is wrong.
Welcome to the republican police state everyone. First it’s reproductive rights, then protest rights. What’s next?
The only rights conservatives want is the right to be white, christian, have a gun, and no taxes for the rich.
You are supporting litteal crimes. They took over the building (crime), held hostage (crime), destroyed portions of the building (crime), and refused to leave (crime).
I mam not sure why Democrats support terrorist actions and pretend it’s protesting. You have the right to protest peacefully, but this wasn’t peaceful and took the right of others away.
And once again when conservatives are confronted with speech they disagree with the response is to demand their arrest.
Almost like they don’t actually value free speech as much as they value controlling their political opponents: those demanding the emancipation of an imprisoned population being starved to death.
It’s a big reason Trump became popular with them: he promised to lock up his political opponent.
Just more fascist trash from people who don’t care to understand the world as it is, so they soak up right-wing propaganda telling them the scary leftists are out ruin “their” country.
Reactionaries want to take away your freedom to stand up to political violence and collective punishment; gee, I wonder why?
They took 3 people hostage
You call hostage-taking and destruction of property free speech? lol You are no longer trying to hide terrorism anymore.
I’m not going to play your stupid little game.
We all know that you value conformity over collective action like every counterrevolutionary in history.
It’s the whole reason you post sources conflating people protesting the university’s material support of genocide with terrorists.
You are not making any kind of point about political freedom, or protest, or values. Here’s a hint: the students were planning on getting arrested. That’s how civil disobedience works: by making the people who hold power overreact to the collective action, thereby swaying public opinion.
This is a clear win for the protesters, because reactionaries simply cannot help showing their asses, and they must stand against emancipations or their backwards ideology will have to shift further to accommodate the revolutionary ideas that they’re constantly opposing.
It’s so telling that conservatives care more about “property damage” than genocide.
And once again when conservatives are confronted with speech they disagree with the response is to demand their arrest.
Arresting people who trespass to disrupt classes at a private university is going against free speech?
Arresting people who break into buildings and refuse to let matience workers leave (kidnapping) is going against free speech?
Those are questions for you to answer. This community’s conservatives pay lip service to free speech in the absolute sense but abandon it when you disagree.
If you could be honest, where do you draw the line for the expression of free speech?
Terrorists just want to terrorize.
That is why I didn’t post anything until they grossly violated the law. I support even stupid protests, but once they turn lawless, it’s time to shut them down.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen @wintermute_oregon #Vivek did a really good job at pointing out the difference between the pro #Hamas and pro #Palestine campus protests and right wing protests like the truck convoy protests in #Canada
I have no issues with protesting but I do have an issue with people breaking the law. What the "protestors’ is doing is terrorism.
Anyone who isn’t a citizen should be deported, all students who violate the law should be expelled and criminally prosecuted.
That is how you stop this crap.
How is this not government tyranny? How is this not a violation of freedom of speech and right to assembly? What happened to “I might not agree with what you’re saying but I’ll defend your right to say it”?
There is no right to assemble on some one else’s property.
There no right to break into a building to assemble.
There is no right to prevent matience workers from leaving the building that was just broken into.
There is no free speech right on some one else’s property.
There is no right to block students from going to class.
It is also weird they blame the Republicans when it is a liberal university in a blue state.
Republicans have zero to do with this.
They took 3 people hostage
If only those “peacefull” protesters had not broken into a building and prevented matience staff from leaving.
Did they “break in” to a building or did they simply enter against the campus’ wishes and removed with force?
Cause one is breaking in and one is being trespassed. You can be trespassed peacefully. The fact the cops showed up in full regalia means they were expecting a brawl, but none happened because this was a peaceful protest.
But I don’t expect you to believe that since conservative media won’t tell it to you.
Or blocked students from going to class. That isn’t peaceful
