Now put this photo up everywhere too
The massacre of civilians by Hamas was "exhilarating," per Cornell professor Russell Rickford, repeated several times with enthusiasm.

And no one to stop them?
What's more disturbing is that he's a history scholar, and should know the history of this conflict.
At some point they just gonna have to come out of the antisemite closet, and I think they will. How soon will we see articles, "Zionism made me an antisemite, and that's ok", "I was never fine with murdering babies until they were Jews", "My Jewish friends are ok that I hate them".
He knows exactly what he is saying. He probably spews leftist anti-American ideas to his students every chance he has. Hopefully he is fired.You're ASSUMING he would know. Too many history scholars are knowledgeable in the popular historical ages: early America, the medieval period, the dark ages, ancient Rome, ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt/Africa, Ancient South America, etc.
You have to WANT to learn about Israel and it's VAST history and the Palestinians and their history, too. It's more niche than it probably should be.
He's also probably just not curious enough to look into it. Like a lot of these people, they think it's the same situation as the South African Apartheid or American Apartheid aka Jim Crow. And it's NOT. It's MUCH more complicated than that.
Anger inducing...

It's not clear what could effectively be done without huge casualties. Gaza, despite the 'open air prison/concentration camp' bullshit, is probably the most fortified place in the world.Still no ground invasion?
Jail time for this guy, it's realy shit to be a Jewish now, people simply, officially and enthusiastically support the murder of you. Can't even imagine how it must feel for them.
They were securing the Lebanese border first I believe to make sure a second front didn't open. Probably stalled with all this Iran posturing. They are probably in touch with US etc gathering intelligence before commencing.Still no ground invasion?

There are tunnels and IED's everywhere and a house you cleared may have 20 suicide bombers streaming out of it 10 minutes later.
Come on, he is a highly educated Ivy League history professor and he didn't show up to that anti-semetic event as a speaker on a whim. He knows exactly what he is saying and meant every word.I kinda get tired of people equivocating leftism with being unAmerican or somehow being against America.
But I honestly think him and folks like him are as I described. The history is complex with lots of conflicting narratives... It's just easier to believe it's a simple thing like Apartheid or the civil rights movement.
Not every leftist is anti American. I love this country... It's where I was born. That's why most minorities chose to stay here despite laws and such being passed against us... This is our home. If not for leftists, we'd still be under Jim Crow.
But there are some leftists who just don't get it and some who are antisemitic. And they deserve the scorn they get.
Yes, it will be a shit show. It’s one of the most dense populated area in the world. I couldn’t sleep and was thinking about it. For every Hamas terrorist they will kill, a civilian will get hurt or worse in the process. And then his or her family gets radicalised as a result and the cycle of hate continues. These absolute shit stains on humanity young males that were running around murdering civilians in the most evil way last week, were regular kids playing football at one point in time. It’s a hopeless situation. It’s like hydra, you cut one head off, 2 will grow in its place. Seriously it makes me feel depressed.
They could have killed people and not taken their sadistic time hurting them in the process which they did and it is documented. Targeting civilians explicitly to cause as much terror and despair and pain and suffering with the smallest losses possible.As a Person from the ME region, My viewpoint is the west and Israel radicalized the region when the " moderate resistance " Like the PLO get humiliated and mocked with the peace talk and agreements that the Israeli government repeatedly breaks, for sure people will look to the other side the more radicalized side if my house or area being bulldozered or destroyed at least if i am losing i will be losing while i am fighting
In 2002 The saudi king offered full diplomatic relations between all the Arab coutries and Israeli, The Israeli refused
If it will make it easier to understand to give an example it is the same as the movie Braveheart, The Scottish like the Palestinians have nothing to lose, death is coming either way, they will fight for sure
Calling them terrorists is not different than the signs on the restaurant where the Austrian Archduke was assassinated in Bosnia the same event the same place with different analogy one call them heros others call them extremists
As a Person from the ME region, My viewpoint is
You have a bit of a one sided view
All the blame lies with the infidels. In the end that's what everything comes down to, the unblievers are at fault and the faithful bear no responsiblity for their actions and cannot be expected to stop.
What exactly are you losing?As a Person from the ME region, My viewpoint is the west and Israel radicalized the region when the " moderate resistance " Like the PLO get humiliated and mocked with the peace talk and agreements that the Israeli government repeatedly breaks, for sure people will look to the other side the more radicalized side if my house or area being bulldozered or destroyed at least if i am losing i will be losing while i am fighting
Send the link please, never heard of this.In 2002 The saudi king offered full diplomatic relations between all the Arab coutries and Israeli, The Israeli refused
We're all gonna die. Some people prefer to celebrate life. Not sure why for Palestinians it's other destruction of Israel or death. Care to explain?If it will make it easier to understand to give an example it is the same as the movie Braveheart, The Scottish like the Palestinians have nothing to lose, death is coming either way, they will fight for sure
Israel left in 2005. And your point of view shows why there's no reason to leave the West Bank either, because Palestinians will never be happy with anything.From these info you post, to you Israel willingly pulled out of Ghaza in 2008 what I and most of the Pelastinians saw was they left because of the attacks of the losses from the resistance groups
Israel fought wars and won, seems like it's the only country where after winning the world asks it for a redo. Sorry we lost, let's do a do-over. It got into Lebanon and also was helped by the Lebanon army against Hezbollah.Like in 2000 suddenly Israel remembered there was a UN resolution #425 about Lebanon and they willingly acted and respected it after more than 30 years !
Nope. You just kicked a self-goal, showing that if Israel would not occupy parts of the West Bank and left, they would get what they got from Gaza. Israel left Gaza in 2005 and got terror, there's no reason for it to leave the West Bank. Palestinians showed they can't manage themselves, and the PLO had 3 chances at peace and quiet and they rejected them all.The blame with the occupier not the other way around
I kinda get tired of people equivocating leftism with being unAmerican or somehow being against America.
I posted the history, did not theorise what people feel and think… you are reading that historical record and your reaction is to try to gaslight people in the forum? Please…From these info you post, to you Israel willingly pulled out of Ghaza in 2008 what I and most of the Pelastinians saw was they left because of the attacks of the losses from the resistance groups

The movie Braveheart is complete unadulterated bullshit. You might as well reference Star Wars.As a Person from the ME region, My viewpoint is the west and Israel radicalized the region when the " moderate resistance " Like the PLO get humiliated and mocked with the peace talk and agreements that the Israeli government repeatedly breaks, for sure people will look to the other side the more radicalized side if my house or area being bulldozered or destroyed at least if i am losing i will be losing while i am fighting

But he wanted to reference a movie with Mel Gibson...The movie Braveheart is complete unadulterated bullshit. You might as well reference Star Wars.

Delusion is a trait shared by most arabs living in the middle east.what I and most of the Pelastinians saw was they left because of the attacks of the losses from the resistance groups
The right to return is something Israel will never agree, there are millions of Arabs/Palestianins in the world and Israel can't accept so many returning and throwing off the balance.Arab Peace Initiative - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
The gave it back for peace.Is it ?
Did you read it ?
Did you know how Israel willingly gave Sinai to the Egyptians ?
Arabs lost those wars that they have started. The only war the Israel started was the 6 days war where it pre-emptively struck instead of waiting for it.Bingo !
What was taken by force will be taken back by force .. what great view
You just now legitimize everything Hamas is doing !
Jews are not in Israel now because of God. Yes, the bible tells us the story that god 'gave' us the land, but that was 3K years ago, where Muslims are the newest religion at around 700years, and Jerusalem became holy even later than that. It's our ancestral home, there's evidence of more than 3K years that we were in this land that also stretched to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.Personally, to be honest i don't care about religious claims, i find them extremely stupid and they should not be acceptable as proof.
"God told me this piece of land is mine"
"Allah told me to kill the infidels and get 72 virgins"
"Jesus said you should buy me an airplane"
Delusion is a trait shared by most arabs living in the middle east.
Israel gave a lot when they did not have to, because they are trying to solve a problem. Whatever Israel gave to arabs was from its own volition. No arab country can coerce Israel to do whatever. Arab countries are weak, their only strength is numbers and fanatism, which amount to nothing against a prepared army like tsahal.
Don't worry, they are gonna go in with ground troops and show strength that way too.Yes we are in delusion, and the Arab countries are weak
and the whole world can see the strength of the Israeli army !! What a strength to bomb houses and neighborhoods from the sky !
The right to return is something Israel will never agree, there are millions of Arabs/Palestianins in the world and Israel can't accept so many returning and throwing off the balance.
The gave it back for peace.
The view is simple. Arabs kept losing, still losing, and Israel offered 3 peace deals where the latest offered them 97% of the land they asked for, and they still rejected it
That's how all the nations in the world were build. Not sure why Israel who won wars and the land should give it back because the UN says so. Than we should all revert back to the world we had. Not to mention there was no Palestine country, ever, and arabs never owned the land anyway.So now we dont want to go to the international laws and the UN resolutions 194 and we should be thankful for what the mighty israeli will accept and how do they accept or willingly give the land by ?
No, Palestinians don't understand losing. Israel will defend itself, Hamas will be gone, and god willing also Hezbollah.Since Israel knows only the language of force people will learn and speak that language
Don't be afraid to educate him. It's time people stop living in fear and let ignorance dictate values.I don’t usually like to badmouth people randomly on the internet, and I haven’t been keeping up too much with this whole thing that much, but my friend said he “supported Palestine” yesterday after I made a slight joke about the situation. I thought he was joking himself until he started talking about Gaza getting carpet bombed or something.
I was at work so I didn’t want to get into any political gripe. Kind of disappointed because I know he probably gets most of his views from Twitter so I kind of already suspected he’d say something dumb like that.

Arabs terrorists, in their delusion, attacked civilians and killed indiscriminately.Yes we are in delusion, and the Arab countries are weak
