"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.
Are you capable of separating Terrorists from civilians?

If not, how do you explain that many Israeli's are calling for the same cease fire that these protesters are calling for?

It seems that people who have experienced Genocide have a certain perspective on the evils of genocide.
YOU are the one that can't separate the terrorists from the civilians, and prove it EVERY SINGLE TIME you utter the "35,000 innocent civilians" stat. You KNOW that's not a true number, as the actual "innocent civilians" are a much smaller proportion of that total number. Some big chunk of that number were actual HAMAS terrorists, or those Palestinians who actively supported them.

Have evidence from a credible organization? You are talking out of your ass.... No one is really interested in your opinion on data that is readily available. That's just ignorance.

UN has the count at 30,000 Civilians as of March 1. The UN is the organization charged with tracking this data around the world.

In "Honeyman" world, how many of the 30,000 people (according to the most responsible human rights organization in the world) are actually families, mothers and children?

You feel fine about that? I think it's despicable, here's why;

Every year from 4th Grade through High School, we would be visited by Holocaust survivors who cautioned us about evil men who killed civilans indiscriminately. They were pursued for no reason but their faith. My school was about half Jewish, and I've visited the Holocaust museums in Southfield and Washington DC.

Everything I have learned tells me your idea of kill them all is evil. Label me any way you choose, but it's a deflection.

The trouble is the Palestinian government (Hamas) attacked Israel and Israel defended itself. Your rather one sided take when both sides of the coin are guilty as hell is disingenuous.

Rate this, he believes it is ok for anyone to attack Israel but it is wrong for Israel to defend itself.

I can't imagine the above message will do anything. Here in Ann Arbor, the campers have been mostly "behaved".

U-M leadership shared some facts supporting the policy of not folding for the divestment bullshit in late March: https://publicaffairs.vpcomm.umich.edu/ ... ivestment/

Mainly the Ivies, private "Near Ivies", and public "Pseudo Ivies". "Flyover Country", "Red States", and MAGA area universities don't fall for this nonsense, and will shut occupations/riots down in a hurry. Although I wouldn't be surprised if TC Talks organized one in Traverse City.

Interesting.. it occurs to me that these people think Hamas or Israel care a whit about what they think… the News flash there is that these issues are so big and deep that absolutely nobody cares what some people a world away think one way or the other… they are wasting their time.

Incidentally about a quarter of the protesters at Columbia that were arrested were non-students.

Half, according to CNN:


Roughly half of the 282 total people arrested at Columbia and CCNY were not affiliated with the schools, NYPD says
From CNN's John Miller

Out of the total 282 people arrested at both Columbia University and the City College of New York on Tuesday, 134 individuals were not affiliated with either school, according to a New York Police Department official who shared the breakdown with CNN. The remaining 148 individuals did have an affiliation with one of the two universities.

Actually I did condem the kidnappings here. Feel free to search my history. I am also adamant that civilians have no business being killed in this conflict.

As for Hamas being freely elected, how familiar are you with how they came to power? Israel wanted the PLO out of leadership and helped get Hamas elected in 2006. This is a messy history, and black and white statements like you just made are overly simplified.
The Growth of Hamas
The last election in Gaza occurred around 17 years ago, in 2006. The election saw a political split between the secular Fatah (a branch of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)) that dominated the PLO since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, and the Islamist Hamas that formed in 1987 as an offshoot of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.

Hamas in its early days, according to former Israeli officials, was seen by the government of Israel as a counterweight to the PLO. Israel supported Hamas as a way to break the PLO's hold on the region. Retired official Avner Cohen, who worked in Gaza in the 1990s and oversaw religious affairs in the region, told the WSJ in 2009, “Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation." That report continued:

The Israeli government officially recognized a precursor to Hamas called Mujama Al Islamiya, registering the group as a charity. It allowed Mujama members to set up an Islamic university and build mosques, clubs and schools. Crucially, Israel often stood aside when the Islamists and their secular left-wing Palestinian rivals battled, sometimes violently, for influence in both Gaza and the West Bank.
