Cops don't belong on universities
What if they want to finally become literate?
Then they wouldn't be a cop?
Eh. There are times when a person in a uniform with some degree of authority on campus would be legitimately helpful, but they're never around for those moments.
UT campus rape was an epidemic when I was in school, back in the mid-'00s, and the police were notorious for just looking the other way.
That's terrible. Yeah my comment sounds like an absolute. I concede your point
Neither does antisemitism...but, here we are..
Isn't this a protest against genocide? Did you see somewhere that protest organizers were advocating for antisemitism? Could you link that for us? That would be very helpful context. Thanks
Genocide? Genocide is not happening in Palestine. The Hamas are doing exactly what they wanted, gain sympathy from gullible people to make them look like the victims. Hamas and Palestine are one, whether you want to hear it or not. they're in power because of the overwhelming majority of Palestinians support them. Israel is trying to only target Hamas and their military, but it's very difficult when Hamas uses the Palestine people as human shields and hides in their homes...
Bootlicker
Show us the anti-jew rhetoric and we'll denounce it.
BTW, Palestinians are semitic.

Until World War II, anti-Zionism was widespread among Jews for varying reasons. Orthodox Jews opposed Zionism on religious grounds, as preempting the Messiah, while many secular Jewish anti-Zionists identified more with ideals of the Enlightenment and saw Zionism as a reactionary ideology.
First, he was wrong for saying that. Second, he apologized. Was it because he was caught. No idea, good chance of that but 🤷.
More importantly, Zionist =/= Jews. There are plenty of Jews that are anti-Zionist. Some well known Jews including Noam Chomsky who has used the phrase "Judeo-Nazi tendencies" of the Israeli state. There is nothing wrong with being anti-Zionist.
God, you zogbots are so uncreative.
What's a zogbot?
Israel doesn't represent all Jewish people, bigot.
Oh brother....
Are you saying jews for peace are also antisemitic?
Are you saying Black Voices for Trump are not racist?
Ah, yes, because that one ex-cultist that showed up in the background of every Trump Rally is totally the same thing as Jewish people who don't like it when they're told they are obligated by their genetics to support an apartheid state that thinks it's OK to bomb 100 innocent bystanders to kill one militant.
Black voices for Trump are white people and paid black actors. The white people are racist, the black people probably doesn't even want to be there but need the money
