Maybe you shouldn't underestimate frat boys.

Now here are some college students that would be more likely to answer the simple questions like which president freed the slaves, how many states there are in the US. and who fought in the Revolutionary War.
Regardless, there is little antisemitism and most of protests have been peaceful.
Right Woody?

It looks like it's working. Well I'll be damned!

The lobbying arm of Israel will make sure any criticism, founded or unfounded, of Israel is defined as antisemitism. Remember our politicians are for sale.
It's good that they do. It isn't something on the fringe so they may as well.
So let's call the unfounded " plausible", or "crucial evidence". Those were good enough to accuse Israel of genocide.
Anti-Israel Activists Celebrate Hamas Attacks that Have Killed Hundreds of Israelis | ADL
Examples of prominent activists expressing support for Hamas’ terror attack include:
-
Swarthmore College’s SJP chapter released a statement on October 10, justifying Hamas’s violence by saying, “Since early Saturday morning, Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have valiantly confronted the imperial apparatus that has constricted their livelihoods for the past seventy-five years.” The statement also said that “decolonization is far from a metaphor confined to the classroom” and that “There exists only a colonizer and colonized, an oppressed and an oppressor. To resist is to survive, and it is our right."
-
National Students for Justice in Palestine released a toolkit for their "day of action", describing the murders of Israeli civilians as “a historic win for the Palestinian resistance: across land, air, and sea, our people have broken down the artificial barriers of the Zionist entity.” The organization added, “This is what it means to Free Palestine: not just slogans and rallies, but armed confrontation with the oppressors.”
-
Anti-Israel activist Nerdeen Kiswani called on people to support the liberation of Palestine “by any means necessary:” “If you support Palestine understand that necessitates supporting our right to defend ourselves and liberate our homeland by any means necessary….Freedom has only ever been achieved through resistance.”
-
The ADC, an Arab American organization, claimed that the Hamas’ massacre of Israeli civilians was an expression of Palestinian self-determination efforts: “The unprecedented and ongoing resistance by Palestinians from Gaza, that caught Israel by surprise, did not happen in a vacuum…. Palestinians are asserting their right to self-determination and unequivocally demanding their freedom.”
-
Young Democrats of America Black Caucus chair Amber Sherman issued unequivocal support for the Palestinian actions: “As Chair of the Black Caucus I fully support the Palestinian people and the uprising happening in Gaza right now…. I encourage folks to publicly acknowledge the uprising happening in Gaza and stand in support of the Palestinian people.”
-
The Boston Mapping Project, an anti-Zionist organization which has called for people to “dismantle” and “disrupt” most of Boston’s Jewish community, posted several times in support of Palestinian resistance, and encouraged its readers to follow the Resistance News Network, an antisemitic encrypted news channel that shares violent anti-Israel imagery and promotes Hamas propaganda.
- The U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) wrote about the Hamas violence: “Our people are waging an anti-colonial, anti-occupation, and anti-Zionist liberation struggle!” In a longer statement, the group said that the violence was a justified response to “over 100 years of zionist [sic] settler-colonialism” and a laundry list of grievances against Israel.
-
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced that it had signed on to the statement of the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, which ignored Hamas’ violence against Israeli civilians and instead called for the United States and world governments to “exert pressure on Israel” to stop its “atrocities” against the Palestinians.
Several Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters expressed support for the attacks on Instagram. SJP is the most prominent anti-Israel student group in the United States. Examples include:
- Palestine Solidarity Alliance of Hunter College posted: “RESISTANCE IS THE ONLY ANSWER: ... Similar to Dief [Hamas military commander], we demand ALL educational institutions and organizations to stand up against the occupation and actively support the Al-Aqsa Flood initiative... The hour of liberation draws near”
- American University SJP re-posted messages from Within Our Lifetime and Palestinian Youth Movement that read: “The resistance Lives!” and “Support Palestinian resistance from Al-Quds to Gaza.”
- Rutgers SJP posted: “Glory to the resistance”
- SJP at University of California, San Diego re-posted a message from Palestinian Youth Movement: “The resistance lives!”
-
SJP at California State University, Sacramento shared a post that read: “As Muslims we have a religious obligation ordained by Allah SWT to support the liberation of Palestine by any and all means necessary.”
-
John Jay SJP shared a message reading, in part: “Do not let Western media call this terrorism. This is DECOLONIZATION.”
-
SAFE UMich, an anti-Israel group affiliated with SJP, posted: “Long live the resistance. Power to our Freedom Fighters. Glory to our martyrs.”
-
The University of Virginia chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine stated that the Hamas massacres were only the first step: “The events that took place yesterday are a step towards a free Palestine…. freedom is not a matter of it but when. We stand in solidarity with Palestinian resistance fighters….”
-
The SJP chapters of California State University of Sacramento claimed that Jewish people who support Israel are not “real true followers of Judaism:” “Real true followers of Judaism (Orthodox Jews) actually support Palestine as Israel’s actions go against their own religion.”
-
On his Substack, academic and activist Norman Finkelstein wrote that Hamas’ actions “warms [sic] every fiber of my soul” and compared the attacks to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising:
-
“.. if we honor the Jews who revolted in the Warsaw Ghetto—then moral consistency commands that we honor the heroic resistance in Gaza. I, for one, will never begrudge—on the contrary, it warms every fiber of my soul—the scenes of Gaza’s smiling children as their arrogant Jewish supremacist oppressors have, finally, been humbled.”
About 35 student associations at Harvard University signed on to a statement from the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee and Harvard Graduate Students for Palestine which said, "We... hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible" for the violence perpetrated by Hamas.
New York City-based anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime posted on Instagram:
- “Supporting Palestinian liberation is supporting whatever means necessary it takes to get there.... we must defend the Palestinian right to resist zionist [sic] settler violence and support Palestinian resistance in all its forms. By any means necessary. With no exceptions and no fine print.”
Activist and poet Mohammed El-Kurd,The Nation’s Palestine Correspondent, posted on X:
- “Occupation, colonization, and land-theft are the root cause of the ‘conflict.’ Everything else is retaliation.”
Dylan Saba, an attorney with Palestine Legal, a nonprofit that provides legal aid to anti-Israel activists, posted on X:
- “Glory to the resistance and the people of Palestine....l could not be more proud of my people who continue to demonstrate unthinkable bravery in their struggle for liberation”
Palestinian Youth Movement, an anti-Israel group active on many university campuses (and which frequently partners with SJP and JVP), called Hamas’ terror attacks “legitimate resistance” and posted a photo on Instagram of Palestinians celebrating on top of a captured Israeli vehicle:
- “We continue to stand alongside our people in Gaza and across Occupied Palestine in their legitimate resistance against the occupiers. In our Martyrs’ names, the struggle for liberation and return continues. Palestine will be free.”
-
Transnational anti-Zionist group Samidoun posted an image of individuals carrying weapons and added, in part:
- “The resistance is rising throughout occupied Palestine, smashing the siege on Gaza...as Palestinian resistance forces fight to advance return and the liberation of Palestine.”
-
Activist group Adalah Justice Project, which frequently partners with JVP and SJP:
- “The natural reaction to colonization and oppression is resistance.”
-
Al-Awda NY, a New York City-based anti-Zionist group, and fellow anti-Zionist group Palestinian Assembly for Liberation (PAL), explicitly and effusively expressed their support for Hamas’ actions:
-
“The Palestinian Assembly for Liberation and Al-Awda NY send their highest salutations to the Palestinian Resistance, the Freedom Fighters..... Now more than ever is the moment for all Palestinians and allies globally to stand proudly, in full support of the brave Palestinian Freedom Fighters...”
-
On Instagram, Nevadans for Palestinian Liberation espoused a historic antisemitic theme about Jewish control over politics in a message supporting the “resistance:”
-
“When you see spineless politicians who are bought by Israeli lobbyists flood your timeline today with words of condemnation today ask yourselves where they were for the past 75 years. Long live the resistance!!!!”
-
Anti-Israel Jewish group IfNotNow released a statement blaming Israel and the United States for provoking Palestinians into the attacks:
-
“Their blood [civilians] is on the hands of the Israeli government, the US government which funds and excuses their recklessness...”
-
Jewish anti-Zionist organization Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) also blamed the terror attack on Israel:
-
“Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence.... The bloodshed of today and the past 75 years traces back directly to U.S. complicity in the oppression and horror caused by Israel’s military occupation.”
-
-
So you have one side that is suspected of committing genocide, and the other side who openly condones genocide of the Jews and acts upon it...while dedicating their lives toward Israels extermination.
Gee, really tough to see the difference between the two.
In 2014 Hamas kidnapped and killed 3 Israeli teens.
In 1972 Palestinians murdered 11 Jewish athletes at the Munich Olympics.
In 1985 Palestinian shot wheelchair bound Jewish American in the head and threw him overboard the cruise ship they hijacked.
In 2002 Jewish American Daniel Pearl was beheaded.
Speaking of beheadings, need I go through all those too?
You people can take your "blind support of Israel" rhetoric and shove it up your rectums, where your heads happen to be.

Though I'm assuming you'll claim Amnesty International or the UN is liberal elitists against Israel or something
Or be like Israel and just say they're antisemitic
No, you're going to have to do better than that to prove Israel is engaging in genocide. It contains nothing but accusations.
"Plausible risk", "there's evidence" "Time to Act".
What is this crucial evidence that screams "time to act"? Give me the details.
Amnesty International has already been caught using fake photos depicting police brutality by police in Columbia SA and Israel. So there's that.
So in your link they post a picture of some toppled tower, making all you bleeding hearts believe it has something to do with genocide.

I'm sure some voting conservatives do experience a certain upbringing. But the majority of politicians are lying out their ass. On both sides. But in the example we have conservative politicians playing make believe as salt of the earth good ole boy blue collar real Americans.
Morons on this board think trump gives a shit about the working class
Must be your ignorance you're taking about.
Those types of assumptions you made about Noem are tired and predictable.
Actually, the real morons on this page believe Trump is a racist, a homophobe or whatever "phobe" that suits their fancy. Lest we forget..he's a Nazi too. And that red hat...it stands for all that shit.
Trump is closer to caring about the working class then his is to that shit. He's nowhere near it.

And I don't give a shit about Kamala. She sucks. If the point is she's pandering about religion, or is religious, or whatever I don't really care.
LOL then you agree with Noem, because that's exactly what she said in the video.
I get exactly what you're saying, the word is called hypocrisy. It would be good if you could give me some examples of Republican politicians known to have engaged in gay sex and threesomes, and on the next day preach about those Christian values in order to gain votes.
Although a rumor, the evidence suggests Noem had an extramarital affair with a Trump aide, while at the same time claim to possess Christian values.
Just think of it as liberals would. She made a "mistake", or a "bad choice." You can still make mistakes and poor choices cant you?

Who defended Vick on here?
And Romneys was messed up too. But at least he didn't kill the dog.
Just another data point of conversations not caring about anything that doesn't directly affect them... And that extends to their dogs I guess
Did I say someone here? Sorry you were confused.
Don't you watch The View for your news? Whoopie Goldberg defended Mike Vick by claiming dog fights are a common thing in the South and that Vick was a Southerner.
Goldberg would have had a completely opposite take had the Vick been white. You know she would.
Funny you don't remember the talk about how our priorities are fucked up worrying about some dogs.
"And Romneys was messed up too", now that made me laugh.

Just poked my nose in the cesspool for a second. I'm sure the MAGAs will find some way in their twisted logic to justify killing your dog. FWIW, in my earlier years (like Noem) I shot a few pheasants in my day, and I know a little about bird dogs. OMG, the dog killed a chicken and tried to bite her... Hmmm... was she abusive to said dog? Have to wonder. MHO is that was incredibly callous and uncalled for, that dog could have been turned over to a shelter. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/animal-shelter-kristi-noem-untrainable-dog_n_66314f09e4b0c558f74208e4
Finally, even old DJT isn't so out of it to not realize Kristi just torpedoed any chance she might have had of being his VP candidate. Election kryptonite. PETA and the ASPCA will make sure everyone in America knows about her attitude towards animals.
Funny that the odor started to appear when you showed up.

... But if your political ideology / belief system includes claiming Christianity, shunning adulterers, promoting family values, etc ... And then you/your politicians do the complete opposite, it deserves to be ridiculed
Ridicule all you like, it's so trivial and worthless so much that it bores me.
But what is also deserving of ridicule is calling out and accusing conservatives of doing exactly what your side does (or did).
Which was kinda like what I did there Woody.

Sorry I don't buy it. You don't kill a puppy from acting like a puppy. If you are too stupid to realize the time it takes to train a dog, so shouldn't have one. She isn't some poor rancher trying to train a stray. She put down three horses early in the year, do you think she shot them too?
Dog outrage. Whatever you people will reach for....so reminiscent of the liberal outrage when it was discovered that Mitt Romney put a dog on top of his car.
Oh the humanity!
Say it aint so!
And there you assholes were, defending Micheal Vick.
Oh and by the way, depending on the breed, a dog generally outgrows its puppyhood between a year and 18 months you moron.

It seems like she's really trying to play into the "real America" "not your typical politician" angle. She probably planned on getting backlash from this story so she can pivot and go "see, liberals make America weak! They can't handle a real American leader that can do what needs done!"
All BS. I'm sure it's a facade she's trying to build up. Typical of a lot of a MAGA reps that try to play up a background and upbringing they didn't experience much at all. They need to pretend they understand the every man.
I still think it's bs she shot a puppy acting like a puppy cuz she couldn't train it. She wasn't dependent on this dog to survive. It was a hobby / sport.
Does that mean everything she said in the video was false?
You were way off base with the notion that conservatives don't experience a certain upbringing.
In fact, among conservatives and liberals being both in the same socioeconomic class, the conservative will be happier.
According to polls — Pew Research Center, the National Science Foundation — and studies such as Professor Arthur Brooks’ Gross National Happiness, conservative Americans are happier than liberal Americans.
For one thing, conservatives on the same socioeconomic level as liberals give more charity and volunteer more time than do liberals
Life is hard for liberals, and life is hard for conservatives. But conservatives assume that life will always be hard. Liberals, on the other hand, have utopian dreams. At his brother Robert’s funeral, the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy recalled his brother saying: “Some men see things as they are and say ‘why?’ I dream things that never were and say ‘why not?'”
She is spot on about that too.

If you want to support Israel's genocide in Gaza then go for it. At least have the balls to call it what it is.
OMG...someone has been listening to the cries of these idiot protestors.
Israelis committing genocide. Sure, because there exist only assumptions and speculation, so why not go for it.
Reasonable grounds is the best that they could come up with...
“There are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide…has been met.
Assumptions and speculation that arises out of finding excuses for the behavior of these animals.
Oh those poor brown people, those white looking Jews surely must have done something to them in order for them to behave this way.

The right is very clearly anti academic, anti education, and anti expert. You can pretend it isn't if that makes you feel better, but we have hundreds of threads on here that say differently.
They'll claim "indoctrination" or whatever other nonsense, but they are anti education because getting educated hurts their chances of reelection.
I don't pretend. I am not anti-education. I am anti indoctrination.
You pretend it doesn't exist.

Yes, the author's intent was to get his readers angry and riled up. It's the intent of the entire site.
It isn't "the best I could do". I got there and laughed at his poorly it's written. But red state is nothing more than a right wing rage blog at this point.
Because no such thing exists on the left.
Rather than the erroneous inclusion of a word, what really should have stuck out to you is that article seems to conflate "tax dollars" and "endowments". The title of the article mentions taxpayer funds but the article points to endowments. To the best of my knowledge, they are 2 different things.
I mean if they really wanted to induce rage:
About 3.6% of total federal spending went towards higher education investments, according to the US government’s Datalab. Datalab operates under the Department of Treasury and is a public source for federal spending data. Colleges and universities received $1.068 trillion in revenue from federal and non-federal funding sources in 2018.

And if you asked most posters here they'd tell you Israel has never done anything wrong, they support and provide Gaza everything they could ever want, and are perfectly innocent little angels in every way
Source: IDF
Whether or not Israel did anything wrong becomes irrelevant when the only ambition of Hamas is for the extermination of Israel. It is reason they exist. They refuse to acknowledge that Israel has a right to exist, therefore there is no form of compromise that can be attained. To Hamas compromise is off the table. So fuck them and whatever happens to them.
You find it appalling that I feel any alleged wrongdoing by Israel is irrelevant? Then you must also find it appalling it is also irrelevant to Hamas. Israel could be perfect angels. Let that sink in
Maybe he will get through to you.

College students know so much.
I bet that if you would ask any one of them who initiated the attack that left 1500 dead and dozens kidnapped and tortured, they would say Israel.
