Pro Hamas in the west - and their adventures

[Valcazar]

The situation is very fluid, trying to make a blanket statement about whether I think that right now students think the US is acting like an authoritarian regime and the system doesn't seem democratic while events are still unfolding seems a bit premature.

Has Biden reached this level yet? No

Columbia protest leader banned from campus for saying ‘Zionists don’t deserve to live’

A video has surfaced of one of the leaders of the anti-Israeli protests at Columbia University stating repeatedly and emphatically that Zionists “don’t deserve to live” and should be killed.

“The existence of them and the projects they have built i.e. Israel, it’s all antithetical to peace. So yes I feel very comfortable — very comfortable — calling for those people to die,” Khymani James said in the January video.

“Be glad, be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists,” he added.

A university spokesman told CNN Friday that James had been banned from campus. The substance of the move was not immediately clear, nor was it clear whether James would remain a student at the institution.

Earlier on Friday James issued an apology for the video while justifying himself, saying he “misspoke,” adding that he regretted his comments which were “wrong,” and that “every member of our community deserves to feel safe without qualification.” He explained that he had been feeling “unusually upset” when he made the statements “after an online mob targeted my because I’m visibly queer and Black.”

ABC News said that hours earlier during a TV interview, James refused to apologize for the video in question.

Columbia has been the epicenter of college encampment protests against Israel and its war in Gaza that have swept through the US, with many Jewish students saying they have been made to feel unsafe due to antisemitic undertones at the demonstrations.

Columbia has been the epicenter of college encampment protests against Israel and its war in Gaza that have swept through the US, with many Jewish students saying they have been made to feel unsafe due to antisemitic undertones at the demonstrations.

The January video of James was of a livestream he made during an online hearing held with university officials. This came following comments he’d made on social media that if he were to enter into a fight with a Zionist, he would be fighting “to kill.”

Asked in the video by an off-screen official whether he saw why his statements were problematic, James said “No.” He then said that “taking someone’s life in certain case scenarios is necessary and better for the overall world.”

He appeared to make most of the subsequent comments to his viewers at a point when the officials were not listening in.

“If we can agree as a society, as a collective, that people… some persons need to die, if they have an ideology that results in the death of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions — if there are people like that who exist, shouldn’t they die?” he said to the camera.

Dumb fucks don't even why they're protesting.

Anti-Israel protesters at NYU admit they have no idea what they’re protesting: ‘I wish I was more educated’

Two Columbia University students who rushed to join NYU’s violent anti-Israel rally are going viral after admitting they had no idea what the protest was about — and wished they were “more educated.”

The unidentified students rattled off their clueless rationale on the steps of the NYU campus in downtown Manhattan as a slew of NYPD cops clad in riot gear stood in the background, as seen in footage viewed more than 3 million times since being shared by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani late Wednesday.

“I think the main goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stop … I honestly don’t know all of what NYU is doing,” one admitted when asked about the protest’s purpose.

Asked if there was “something NYU is doing,” the student meekly replied: “I really don’t know, I’m pretty sure they are…”

She then turned to her friend and asked, “Do you know what NYU is doing here?”

The friend, who was wearing a face mask, then bluntly asked: “About what?”

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1783154103947862364

“I’m not either. I came from Columbia. I was there up at Columbia and we came down, they said NYU needed out support,” the first student continued.

“I’ve heard there are lots of cops and people were saying it was getting dangerous.”

It wasn’t immediately clear when the interview took place, but it emerged just days after the NYPD descended on NYU Monday night to help clear a tent encampment there.

The clueless Columbia students had rushed downtown to join an encampment at New York University: “Why are we protesting, here at NYU specifically?”

Drag queen orders children to chant 'Free Palestine' during queer story hour at Massachusetts arts center

Event profits from the event were donated to a Palestinian organization 'working for queer liberation'

A drag queen was captured on video leading children to chant 'Free Palestine' during a queer storytime event at a Massachusetts art center.

A video of the "Queer Storytime for Palestine" event organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group at the Northampton Center for the Arts on April 14 in Amherst, Massachusetts, has been met with outrage in recent days. The video shows drag queen Lil Miss Hot Mess ordering a group of preschool and elementary school-aged children to chant "Free Palestine," according to Valley Families for Palestine Instagram posts.

While reading her book "If You're a Drag Queen and You Know It," Lil Miss Hot Mess told the children: "If you're a drag queen and you know it shout ‘Free Palestine.'"

The event included "dancing, celebrating Palestine culture, learning about queer heroes and doing arts and crafts," according to an Instagram post by the Valley Families for Palestine group. Event profits were donated to alQaws, a Palestinian organization "working for queer liberation."
The event also featured Hannah Moushabeck, a Palestinian American activist and the author of "Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine," and Sarah Prager, the Massachusetts-based author of "Queer, There, and Everywhere: 27 People Who Changed the World," "Rainbow Revolutionaries: 50 LGBTQ+ People Who Made History," "Kind Like Marsha: Learning from LGBTQ+ Leaders," and "A Child's Introduction to Pride: The Inspirational History and Culture of the LGBTQIA+ Community."

The event and video has sparked harsh backlash online, with many pointing out that LGBTQ people are not usually treated with respect in Gaza and other Palestinian areas. The LGBT Equality Index, which ranks the most LGBT-Friendly Countries in the World, placed Palestine at 192 of the 197 countries on the list — just a few ranks above Iran.

"The harsh reality? Members of the LGBTQ+ community are often murdered in Gaza and other Palestinian areas such as Ramallah," StopAntisemitism posted to X.

"If you’re a drag queen and you know it, kids, shout "free Palestine." Seriously. Yahya Sinwar, Putin, Xi and the Ayatollah are laughing so hard (and sharpening their knives)," Jake Wallis Simons, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, posted to social media platform X.

"An indoctrination double whammy," Eitan Fischberger, a former Israel Defense Forces sergeant, posted to X.

You're upset that someone at an explicitly pro-Palestine event ("Queer storytime for Palestine") led a pro-Palestine chant?
You might want to take a breath and calm down.

I didn't say either of those things, valcazar.
I linked to DeSantis to show a more extreme and more authoritarian US reaction, not to try to say Biden was responsible for DeSantis.
Biden is responsible for the US policy that the students are protesting, the universities are responsible for their responses to those protests. Biden's statements on the issue give more support to the universities but they are still responsible for their actions.

Do you think this statement is now to outrageous?

Amnesty International defends a terrorist Walid Daqqa who kidnapped 19-year-old Moshe Tamam and held him hostage for two days, then gouged out his eyes, castrated him, mutilated his body, and finally shot him in the chest and dumped his body.

Fortunately, that’s a myth. Walid Daqqa never did this. But it is the stuff of Ziontology fiction.

Bring in the low life settlers from the West Bank and force them to clean up everything. Especially munitions. Israel should pay every last cent for the reconstruction as part of reparations.

Daqqah was handed a life sentence in 1986 after being convicted of commanding members of the terror cell the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), to abduct and kill 19-year-old Israeli soldier Moshe Tamam in 1984.

The kidnap, a ransom bid that failed, turned into murder on Daqqah’s orders.

Tamam, who was on leave from the military when he was murdered, vanished after accompanying his girlfriend to her home in the city of Tiberias and returning by bus to Tel Aviv.

His body was found four days later near the entrance to the town of Mevo Dotan in the West.

Tamam’s killers gouged out his eyes, mutilated his body and castrated him before taking him to an olive grove and shooting him dead, according to reports at the time.

Yes.
Daou, like you, is saying that Biden is issuing the crackdown.
Even as you point to local authorities doing it, you and he say it is proof that Biden and the Democrats are the ones doing it.

So yes, I think the students are smart enough to know who is physically attacking them.
Not sure why you think they aren't.
(I know why Daou does - he's still a consultant for Cornel West isn't he? He has a campaign to run, so pretending to be stupid for campaign purposes is part of his job.)

No, that's not at all what Daou saying, that's another straw man.
The fact that there are mass protests against Biden policy met by police is making the argument that Biden is not supporting the will of voters.

No.
He is saying that this is the Democrats suppressing students because the Democrats are "anti-democracy" or should be perceived that way because they are doing these crackdowns.
That's the whole point of his argument.
I'm not sure why you have trouble following that.
