Asking College Students if They Know Why They are Protesting
- Thread starter The Oracle
- Start date
Kidnapped hostages have human rights. (assuming they are still alive)
Clearly you don't think so.
Israeli citizens have rights not to have rockets fired at them for 23 years by Hamas.
no nation in the world would put up that shit
The people of Gaza voted Hamas into power in 2006 and they have paid a dreadful price for that folly.
Egypt wont admit pal refugees - where is the outrage at Egypt ?
Jordon wont accept them either
Both countries know Hamas is trouble they do not want
until the hostages are freed and Hamas lays down their weapons , there wont be any peace

If the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto had rockets do you think they would have used them?
You should walk outside with an Israeli flag and see how popular that would be now.
For university students they aren't very bright. Makes you wonder how they got accepted.
If you think you're smarter, how do you explain this?
And I suppose you have evidence of this, that it isn't part of some right-wing conspiracy narrative....
Really. And I suppose you'd argue that when they do this at a MAGA rally and show the stupidity of those folks, you'd say that they don't represent the cult, er...movement...Let me put it this way, you ask enough people in a crowd about anything and you might get a nuanced, well thought out response, but more likely you'd get folks who say really stupid things, like saying Obama dropped the ball in his handling of 9/11....
Yes, it is speculation. I'm glad you recognize it. I didn't think it was subtle, but with the righties on here, you never know. I'm sure you're trying to say that these protests are astroturfed. Maybe they are. Maybe people are attending them for multiple reasons. Some might hate Hamas, but feel for the Palestinian people. Others might just hate Israel. But, if some random dude who wasn't press started asking me questions....I might not want to answer. I'd call it the James O'Keefe response. They've probably seen clips that were used bad faith edits to makes soundbites that lack nuance, or are taken out of context to disparage the protests. I'm not saying main stream media doesn't do this, but there is significantly less chance that NBC would do that compared to some unknown dude with a YouTube channel.
Listen to them speak and their demands. Not very bright at all.
''Columbia Law students want their final exams called off … in the name of Palestine.
In a recent letter, the student editors of the Columbia Law Review made a public call for the school to cancel the semester’s remaining exams and “give all students passing grades for their work throughout the semester.”
Columbia Law students demand passing grades after protests. Blame coddling schools
Columbia Law students want their final exams canceled… in the name of Palestine.

Yeah seems pretty legitimate to me, lol.....
If you don't like what the school is doing...Don't go there!Firstly, that has nothing to do with the demands made by the protestors regarding divestment, transparency etc.,
Secondly, the ask is fair, in my opinion. You have total chaos on campus, people being arrested, beaten by police, racist hate groups from both sides attacking each other etc., It would be difficult for students to sit for tests at this time. Is cancelling exams the right course of action? I dont know. But the ask is fair enough. They are not asking for just the protestors, or just the pro-Palestinian supporters. They are asking for everyone in the university whether or not they are a protestor, due to the extraneous circumstances. Fair enough. Grades dont mean anything any way.
learning the curriculum and passing the exams is kind of what the idea is. There's no free ride in life. Time they learned that.
No no just leave...There will be more than enough students that will want to attend in their place.
Actually they are comical.
They are students and have no say how the university runs their business. If they don't like it, go to another university.
Better yet go to the Middle East and help those Hamas terrorists out in their fight. They wouldn't last an hour.
And I suppose you have evidence of this, that it isn't part of some right-wing conspiracy narrative....
time will tell,
well we know you are quite critical of MAGA rally's
for the most part those folks are not pleased with domestic issues that affect them directly
the blither youth are protesting about international problems that are driven by hated that has endured for a thousand years. problems that are infinitely more complex than the blither youth will ever understand
but they get to shout slogans and clap their hand with their friends
blithering idiots repeated gathering enmass to protest against a war on the other side of the planet that they do not understand ,? yeah something is strange here
.
one should have been able to articulate a legitimate reason -
did you take note of the girly who said she wanted to defund the police, but would call the police if needed
strange reason to be protesting Israel , , my guess is she show up at a protest against just about anything ,
"down with children, death to the middle class, put seniors on ice flows" clap clap, "down with children, death to the middle class, put seniors on ice flows" clap clap
.
hate Hamas, but protest against the Israel ?
that rings the bell on the stupid meter
bingo
A hatred that dates back a thousand years
the left is so hypocritical
too funny
these morons want to drive social change and they want their voices heard , but say 'no comment' when asked to state what they are protesting ?
It's not status quo, it's reality.
I would love to see these kids try and tell their employer, if they are lucky enough to have one, how to run their business. These kids won't last very long when they get to the real world. In for a big shock. I see nothing but future social assistance recipients.
