Re: Pro-Palestinian terrorist protesters take over Columbia University building

"From the river to the sea" is not just a catchy slogan. Hamas, Hezbollah, etc., would gleefully destroy Israel, but can't. Israel could blow their enemies off the face of the map, but won't. Why don’t we just lock them all in a really big room and let them sort it out? Pretty much what we've done....

Gee, ya think?
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t both Jews and Arabs Semites?

There is a lot of irony in a bunch of semites being anti-Semitic.

Re: Trump signals support for political violence/second insurrection if he loses

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/30/politics/trump-political-violence-2024-time-interview/index.html Former President Donald Trump wouldn’t dismiss the potential for political violence from his supporters if he isn’t elected in November, suggesting it would depend on the outcome of the presidential race...

Re: Pro-Palestinian terrorist protesters take over Columbia University building

Columbia's President acknowledged these were peaceful protesters. They didn't do damage, they disrupted. - Again, try reading, and understand the nuisances of adjectives. Terrorists are violent, like when the Jan 6 d domestic terrorists killed cops. These protesters used words. Nice try. You're try...

Re: TIME: How far Trump would go

I honestly spent 7 or 8 minutes skimming through the whole thing before commenting. It is just more of the same, over-the-top, Trump and his supporters are radicals hell-bent on revolution that I've read elsewhere. This little snippet is particularly over the top: Every election is billed as a nati...

Re: TIME: How far Trump would go

Why don't the 2 authors of that piece just come out and say that the world would be better of if we just slaughtered the 75 million people who voted for Trump in 2020? As an aside, I find it comical that one of their criticisms of Trump is that "his support for Israel is not absolute" given at time...

Re: Pro-Palestinian terrorist protesters take over Columbia University building

Brown University has caved. Brown University "conceded" to student protesters who have been encamped for days on the Providence, Rhode Island, campus in violation of policy, acquiescing to hold a vote in the fall on their proposal that the school divest from Israeli interests. In exchange, the roug...

Re: Pro-Palestinian terrorist protesters take over Columbia University building

Are these students the ones who want their student debt cancelled for their useless ‘gender studies/social justice’ PhD degree? Or if it’s too soon for that will they be asking for that in 10 yrs when they’re unemployable? Or lets assume Mom and Dad are paying the bill. Mom and Dad likely have shar...

Agreed.

Re: Pro-Palestinian terrorist protesters take over Columbia University building

Three college campuses in my area are totally normal and one of them is a biggie. I was gonna say the same about all of the schools here… this is an isolated thing to a few places. Mark my words Trump is gonna try to latch onto this like it’s 1968 and hit Biden over the head with it and pray to the...

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

I'd call it more "political" than "productive." I think Trump knows he's probably going to be convicted of something. So he has made the political calculation that if he ends up in jail over violating a gag order that he can argue suppression of his freedom of speech, and he'd much rather that be t...
