Yup. Every once in a while when social media stupidity is brought up on GAF, there's always people (me too) who bring that up.
Social media gave every lowlife a free way to band together with other jackasses. Before the net, there's only so much losers can group together by mail, meeting up in groups or coordinating stuff by phone. Now with a few clicks, those 6 morons who kept to themselves can now be 600 or 600,000.

The upside down seems more in the responses to imagined threats being given false equivalences to real threats and co-opt it for to prioritize political agenda. It has the effect of slowing public/legislative responses to real threats in untangling the overblown priorities like those who insert their trans issues. Hamas terrorists put in perspective of what a real threat is compared to something like trans issues disrupting medal standings at sporting events while things are sorted out.
Free Palestine was never about freeing the people. Free Palestine means the annihilation of the only Jewish state.

The time and place, if you go out in the street right after a Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and shout "free palestine" to celebrate this crime against humanity... right then.

Because they don’t care about Palestine. They just want to destroy Israel.

Not to mention the people parading that statement can't lead or at any point even condemn Hamas.

Pretty much this. Where were these crowds a few months ago? The situation was the same. Minus the terrorism. So therefore coming out right after one of the worst modern display of terrorism and chanting support will clearly be seen as support of the means to the end.
Unless they clearly differentiate the message. Its not hard to show solidarity with those murdered and also support a Free Palestine. Why don't they?
World is fucked, people only come out for criminals and terrorists. At least the blue hairs are being publicly ridiculed and yet still too proud to walk it back. This isn't twitter takes y'all. This is real. It's about time they got real.
Again with taking up 40% of the screen for sign language guy. Does closed captioning not exist? Even if they don't "trust" an AI generator he's just reading off a teleprompter and they would shut him up if he went off script, so just run with that. If anything they should be running spanish commentary as there are FAR more spanish only speakers in the US than ASL users.
Harvard President Gay just issued a follow up statement after pressure, to denounce the terrorist attacks by Hamas. But it wasn’t emailed to the Harvard community, unlike the main “both sides pls get along gotta stay neutral” message. Abysmal leadership.

Might as well have just put decapitated babies on there since it's the same message of support. I'm really at my limit with people defending/justifying/supporting/celebrating these terrorists.

Getting 86'ed by an Israeli woman has got to really chap their asses.

Israeli woman, 25, hailed as a hero for killing terrorists, leading team that saved kibbutz from Hamas
The Hamas was no match for the 25-year-old woman — who saved an entire kibbutz from harm by leading a team of residents who killed more than 20 advancing terrorists.

Sometimes it really, really, fucking REALLY feels like this isn't just "this sounds insane because I have opposite ideals," and it's instead full into "whatever the traditional opinion is, mine is the opposite because I'm just trolling on an entrepreneurial level,"
If EVER there was a time for the unveiling of a secret branch of the US...
Hope those boys get our boys and girls back safe and sound.

Tough for me to believe that the student body, which the institution curated out of untold thousands of candidates, does not speak for the institution.

i have a feeling these grifters have finally overplayed their hands and there is going to be some extreme pushback to the NPC "if against west = support" programming that has been on display for the past 10 years

They had to cut Owen Jones off-air on Sky News because he wouldn't stop banging out the same old talking points when he was sitting right next to an elderly woman who didn't know if her Israeli friends were dead or not.

These are the same people who talk about White Supremacy dog whistles..."Free Palestine" is the largest dog whistle for the elimination of Israel and Jewish people there is.
Let me say this again, free palestine means the annihilation of Israel. They say it: From the river to the sea.
You either support Israel or you support free palestine. What you can say, is you support a two state solution.
It's not the entire student body by any means. There are several hundred student groups on campus. But 31 groups endorsing and celebrating terrorism is 31 groups too many.
There are myriad ways someone can be actioned for making someone else "feel unsafe" on campus, including imaginary bullshit, but there are few things that can make you feel less safe than terrorist-endorsing psychopaths parading around telling you you don't have a right to exist. Yet nothing will come of that.

That right there, that's the shit that drives me up a fucking wall.
Because they consider, who are they to consider anything? Bunch of fucking psychopaths vicariously killing others.
There are some parallels in the situation. Same with China and Taiwan.
But ultimately the endless need to "justify" a violent action is just PR spin. No one really cares who lived where first or who claims what, it's just "can you take it/defend it"? Hamas is a violent homicidal neighbor, full stop. Israel can and hopefully will kick them off the street. Russia is also a violent, homicidal neighbor, europe needs to do the same. When a group tries to expand it only ends in a few ways. They beat you and kick you out. You beat them, drive them farther back, and punish them for a generation. Or you resist enough that they go look for a softer target somewhere else. "Pay them to go away" I guess sorta works as well...for a while.

There's definitely a lot of people deemed right that have utterly just HAD IT with pulling punches and are rightly calling supporters of terrorism Nazis, monsters, evil, etc
I think the culture war was just brimming the past few years, but speaking of waking sleeping giants, I think a lot mote of the personalities on air will start to wear off their rust and get fully invested into exposing the bullshit for what it is.

Absolutely.
It’s done. They are morally beyond the pale.
As is often pointed out, we are very good at knowing when the right goes ‘too far’. They are immediately shunned and made pariahs. But we never really know what to do with the hard left. When are they cast out?
Well. Now we know.

For those who asked for a brief history lesson. Keep in mind, Palestinians have no bargaining chip, they have nothing to offer but peace and quiet.
By the looks of it, Israel should had kept all of it. Never give sketchy people an inch because they'll take a mile. And after the first mile, they'll go for a second mile.

Jokes aside, this is great news. Woke up to other distressing news that some whole families were killed and beheaded in Kibbutz. I fear for the people they (Hamas) are keeping hostage. I don't want to be negative but those people are not going to be freed

Your source is a twitter post. But in recent days we have seen too many fake crap on there.
So I ask you again. Where is the source that Nethanyau is sponsoring Hamas.

31 groups that should, at a minimum, face immediate expulsion. Open support for terrorist organizations deserves criminal punishment as well.

This raises more confusion. Israel was always the defender and not the attacker. They won Gaza after Gaza struck first, but somehow these lunatics twisted historical events to say the Jewish community colonized it.
And then anytime they make a peace offering, Palestine refuses it, so why are so many nut jobs on their side? They aren't this oppressed people fighting for their land back, they are terrorist extremist who want the Jewish people exterminated. Hitler does it and he's seen as an evil man but Palestinians do it and it's seen as an act of freedom? Give me a fucking break.

"Sponsoring" is not the right term. He engaged Hamas as a legitimate political entity, instead of the collection of rabid jackals they are, in order to split Pali loyalties.

What a propaganda attempt fail. Look at how that soldier treated that kid vs how Hamas is treating Israeli kids.
