Unless you wanna fuck her, I don't get why not throw some facts in her face. This silence is not helping.My roommate believe in the whole "Israel is committing genocide" rhetoric.
She even wanted to go to an anti-Israel protest here at UNLV.
I have to bite my tongue every time I hear it. I don't like talking politics with her because she is definitely on the far left side.
Well, I understand what you're saying but I cannot afford to not have a roommate right now. She's actually been really cool except for her politics.Unless you wanna fuck her, I don't get why not throw some facts in her face. This silence is not helping.
is there not a way to bring up the idea of her not forcing her political ideologies into your life much like how you don't force yours onto her? In a respectful manner of course.Well, I understand what you're saying but I cannot afford to not have a roommate right now. She's actually been really cool except for her politics.
For what it's worth, I tend to be very non-confrontational especially nowadays.
She doesn't know my political views because I never share them. I just sort of nod. She's not always talking politics 24/7 but she does bring them up somewhat frequently. I think she thinks I'm agreeing with most of what she's saying.is there not a way to bring up the idea of her not forcing her political ideologies into your life much like how you don't force yours onto her?

the issue with these types is the general rules for thee but not for me. You are willing to respect her and not bring up political issues and cause any tension but she's willing to go off her rocker with 0 respect for you.
No harm in every now and then saying something "ah let's not chat such serious topics for now" if you get the chance without even mentioning your political leanings.She doesn't know my political views because I never share them.

Plus, I guessed her political leanings from the start so it's not like it caught me off guard or anything.
It's because they're not repu...ahhh nevermind.I'm sorry to say this, but the US are looking pretty weak. How come are not all those "activists" begin identified and arrested? You are allowed to throw bottles at the authorities and paint monuments around there? Wow, nice country...
HAMAS doesn't differentiate their own versus Gazans in the counts, so why anyone wastes their time with "official" HAMAS health numbers is beyond me. Not that they had any credibility to begin with, but the "400 dead in Israeli hospital strike" was that CLEARLY one of their own rockets misfiring and it was just a clinic parking lot should have laid that to rest. These guys are like the Iraqi "nothing to see here" guy, they have ZERO issue with straight making shit up just to spoon feed it to a crowd desperate to lap it up.I'm glad the hostages are safe.
I'm reading and hearing nearly 900 Palestinians were killed and injured in the rescue... Not sure how accurate that is but I did see video of dead and injured children and women and elderly in the aftermath... Just not sure if the reported number is accurate as it doesn't come from Hamas ...
War is ugly ... Release the rest of the hostages!
Just like in WWII and Vietnam, we'll find out more of the truth in these muddled waters years from now.
Also, Gantz resigned in opposition to Netanyahu. I hope things get better in both Israel and Gaza/West Bank.
More info coming out that the house that the hostages were held captive in, was the house of a JOURNALIST working for The Palestine Chronicle. He was also the spokesperson for the Hamas Ministry of Labor.
I remember when Israel told the world that Journalists were involved, and no one believed them... This is a slam dunk case that Palestinian citizens were involved in the October 7 massacre.
It’s political. It’s about the bigger picture of aligning “oppressed” Islamic groups with other western minorities to gain voting and consequently political power. By uniting these groups they aim to build a force that might bring down the current status quo.I am getting increasingly convinced that there must be biological reason to explain people who are pro Palestine while being extremely liberal. I get Muslims but not somebody who believes men can give birth. Its almost as if there is no sense of self preservation, as the same people also don't want to reproduce. They would be on the beach waving to the Vikings.
I don't see the separation. It's not as if politics exists outside the brain. You must have no sense of self preservation to have that politics in the first place. The current status quo is fundamentaly a liberal one. So if you are gay and you align yourself with someone who thinks you should get the death penalty then all you will do is overturn the current situation where we don't currently have the death penalty to one that does. I have spoken to a couple of people and it's not that they don't believe that if Israel was replaced with a majority Muslim state that it wouldn't be considerably less liberal, they believe it would be and have no issue with it.It’s political.

They’ll also tell you that “empathy is not transactional”.
Palestian flags have been in pride parades for years now and have been strategic in accomplishing the intersectional struggle. It’s all political and performative.
Continuing with who gets arrested and who doesn't.

Exactly. They’re willing to sacrifice gay rights and women’s rights for the higher goal of bringing down liberal western capitalism that was built-on judeo-Christian values, slavery and white Europeans.I don't see the separation.

Yep, this is what I was talking about. It's beyond infuriating.
In isolation the video would convey the cops arresting someone who is just demonstrating. In totality, they arrested over 20 individuals that evening, as another encampment was being established with more vandalism of property and other activities similar to last time. UCLA is not playing with these folks anymore, and neither are the police.I don’t have sound, I assume these are Pro Hamas cunts who fucked around and found out?

They did a whole lot of nothing in general during that period for weeks. Doing nothing resulted in constant escalation. Policy has clearly changed, and they are no longer allowing things to build up to that point again.The same UCLA police that stood by as some of those same students were being assaulted by pro-isreali dudes for 3 hours?
Good. Their open antisemitism should never have gone on for this long to begin with. Hopefully a few will realize what massive cunts they are being and learn from it.In isolation the video would convey the cops arresting someone who is just demonstrating.

Doesn't get much better than this expose.

Maybe actually do research before you make idiotic accusations. Everything you said is a bald faced lie, though I am sure you know this and just think everyone else is an idiot.Poor choice of words maybe but I saw the videos ... The pro-isreali dudes were throwing wooden boards and kicking and punching and throwing things at the encampment folks and who stood their ground and tried not to fight back... Just taking cover ... The police stood by.
But obviously they're changing tactics and arresting everyone! Which is MUCH better than doing nothing on either side!
