human of science LadyGrey ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ The Flandolorian ๐ Trinity Votes ๐บ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐บ๐ธ Brianna Wu Sofia ๐ฅ Yeah, we exist. Even some leftists like myself are appalled at the antisemitism ongoing at these protests. It's not right, and shouldn't be accepted, regardless of the circumstances or the cause.
eli friedmann LadyGrey ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ This. You are not going to win over โnormiesโ by shouting racist slogans, carrying a Hamas flag, quoting the Ayatollah, praising the Houthis or calling for a global intifada. Thatโs several bridges too far.
LadyGrey ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ Yeah, as much as I detest Netanyahu and think Palestinians have a legitimate case for self-determination, I can't join a cause that features antisemitism and celebrates terrorism. My hope is that the Israelis dump Bibi and a new government can make headway on things...
LadyGrey ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ The majority of Americans are repelled by extremism.
The more extreme the rhetoric gets the fewer people will support it.
When people start to realize that โceasefireโ has morphed into โget rid of Israelโ the โmovementโ loses support.
LadyGrey ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ The greatest thing top colleges provide is networking for the kids of the rich and powerful to meet kids of others who are rich and powerful.
LadyGrey ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ When Mark Ruffalo said not to resort to antisemitism, that says a ton considering heโs very pro Palestine
LadyGrey ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ People also don't understand the 1A isn't without consequences. Just because they have the right to say or express themselves doesn't mean they can not obey rules and do whatever they want without punishment for breaking those rules. The law isn't the government.
Josh Shepperd Iโve been trying to plead with academics to think about optics and how weโre changing the perceptions of higher ed in a negative way.
Brian Rosenwald Aaron Astor The administration has been astonishingly incompetent, but I wish those same faculty were looking at the students and wondering where they, as teachers, went wrong.
