Israel is dropping US bombs. ๐
How is protesting at a college going to stop it?
The colleges have relationships with the companies that make the bombs and have direct investments in Israel.
Why not also protest at, I don't know, the White House or Congress? The people who make policy work there, a college faculty can't do shit to affect Israeli strategic policy.
I went to the one at USC and wanted to show support.
Yes it is me. I literally just posted it.
You advocate for more intelligent discussion but reply like a teenage troglodyte. Please tell me why you laughed out loud
Your fucking four word reply is not an elaboration. You are starting to sound more like the troll here.
Ooof, nice eugenicist reference ("troglodyte", which afaic falls under the same red flag as "degenerate"). Guess we know exactly what you are, don't we?
The US government provides weapons for the genocide.
One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.
Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.
Of course Israel isn't going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don't like it. But that doesn't mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.
The cops start mass arrests regardless of aggression.
You literally called me a fascist prior to my non-sequitur, and you started this silly scenario with your nonsense nonsequitur. I'm simply defending myself here.
You are a fascist.

Hmmm I've never been great at math, but...
Funded by Amerikan money. The government you uplift, and everyone who still supports them after eight months of unmitigated genocide, is complicit. Is a collaborator.
