Israel vs. Gaza round 99

[Rhyis.]

oh it'll never happen, i'm just saying the solution is in fact incredibly easy.

the only reason israel feels entitled to do whatever the shit it wants is because they have the most powerful nation literally backing them at this exact moment with insane firepower

battery lmao

Her cellphone had a battery, and it was close to the police. Case closed. Also holy fucking shit, I love how they pin your arm back in a position that's not normal then scream at you for resisting and pin it harder causing you to resist more. "WHY ARE YOU RESISTING?!"

Georgia State Patrol said the protester resisted his arrest.

Once they got one of his hands in handcuffs, troopers say he shoved the other under his body to keep his hand from being cuffed. He was ultimately tased twice, once in the abdomen and a second time in the right thigh.

During the protest response, troopers say they deployed pepper balls to control the unruly crowd.

Gov. Brian Kemp praised the response of law enforcement, saying college campuses will “never be a safe haven for those who promote terrorism and extremism that threatens the safety of students.”

Take that terrorists, if you dare to protest the murdering of innocents then we'll fucking kill you too...I mean we'll protect you..from yourselves....with murder

USC canceling their grad ceremony rather than giving the valedictorian the speech back (to stop college protests) because they don't believe they can ensure safety if they permit her to speak.

Everyone arrested at UT austin was released and had charges dropped.

College is still likely banning those arrested from campus; it's policy apparently.

The DA can still bring charges up to 2 years later if they decide to. Texas, man.

I mean they can't ensure the safety of the fee-fees of the people listening Sad time we live in. It's crazy how lib minded college kids are now and always on the wrong side of things, not like during Vietnam...or the war on Iraq or or or...

Love watching the media like "Some jewish students feel threatened!" not like there's a bunch of jewish students that are part of the protests. Fox news freaking out about the college kids like "We need to send in the national guard and fucking smoke these kids!"

At mass graves in southern Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, Palestinian authorities say they are uncovering bodies that bear signs of having been shot in the head, their hands bound by zip ties, stripped of their clothes, or buried in hospital gowns with tubes or needles still in their skin. Among the dead are women and children.

The remains found in the mass graves have raised questions about the circumstances surrounding their deaths during the months of intense fighting in and around Nasser Hospital. Israel denies wrongdoing but acknowledges exhuming bodies that had already been buried, then reburying them, in its search for hostages taken captive into Gaza during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks.

Fellas is it still antisemitic to want Israel to be eradicated as a nation state

Yes.

Punish the regime, not the civilians.

My mother in law watches Fox news nonstop and as I walked by her room yesterday, they were spouting the exact same nonsense about how Biden should send the National Guard to the campus. We seriously don't need another Kent State...

It's a nice thought, but almost no time ever in history has this idea worked.

It sounds awful and macabre to say this, but in almost every major "the 'good guys' win" event in recent centuries, civilians suffered greatly at best and were outright purged at worst.

Crushing a state, and its people -- especially its people -- is usually necessary to stop heinous actions.

There's a reason Sherman was so successful in the South and why we've been hunting down and killing Nazis for decades.

All of this isn't to say that the numbnuts with "We are all Hamas" and "Send the Jews back to Poland" signs have any legitimacy here, but it's pretty fucking obvious that a one state solution - that state being Palestine - is the only equitable end to this madness.

Well then, guess we should be glassed as well for the atrocities done by our elected officials.

I mean yeah in a vacuum but the actual unspoken truth is that Gred is right about these situations and the ideal end result is the one that preserves the global Western hegemony and its associated technologically advanced society.

Meddling in the Middle East when they just want to have eternal caliphates and regressive societies until the end of time is a fruitless endeavor that has caused nothing but grief and destruction for damn near a century now. Get out and figure out another way to maintain power projection.


tl;dr religion fucking sucks hail satan

Here's the emails I got as an alum RE: the protests.

FWIW, remember that before the current President we had a President who bemoaned the state of politics in the country and urged for a culture of compromise... and used the 3/5ths compromise as an example of when politicians worked together.

Day After the Incident:

Dear Emory Community,

I’m writing to follow up on yesterday’s messages regarding the protests at Emory.

The encampment that was set up yesterday in the early morning on the Quad in front of the Commencement stage was quickly cleared by law enforcement and a number of arrests were made. Following these events, students gathered outside Convocation Hall to organize a protest. Throughout the afternoon, Emory students and community members assembled peacefully on the Quad. The afternoon events were monitored by open expression observers and Emory Police Department (EPD) officers were on site to provide support as needed.

Early yesterday evening, a large group of protestors left the Quad and gathered outside the Candler School of Theology. Some protestors pinned police officers against the building’s glass doors, threw objects at them, and attempted to gain access to the building. These actions against officers prompted an increased law enforcement presence on campus. Protestors then returned to the Quad and eventually dispersed. No further arrests were made.

I am saddened by what took place at Emory yesterday. To watch these highly organized, outside protestors arrive on campus in vans, construct an encampment, and overtake the Quad just days after it was vandalized with hateful and threatening messages was deeply disturbing. I also know that some of the videos are shocking, and I am horrified that members of our community had to experience and witness such interactions. The fact that members of our community were arrested upsets me even more and is something that I take very seriously. To the best of our ability, we are working with law enforcement agencies to assist detained community members and expedite their release.

Yesterday’s events echo similar incidents that have taken place at universities nationwide. I understand that the ongoing effects of the war in Israel and Gaza, including the humanitarian crisis engulfing the Palestinian people and the hostage crisis involving Israeli civilians, continue to stir painful emotions. At the same time, the construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center engenders fierce debate across our city.

As Emory community members continue to express themselves and protest, we are committed to working with students and faculty, open expression observers, and the EPD to facilitate their peaceful expression. However, we will not tolerate vandalism, violence, or any attempt to disrupt our campus through the construction of encampments. These actions are counter to our values, and they disrupt the core purpose of the university and its educational and research missions.

Today, once again, Emory staff from Facilities Management have returned to the Quad to repair the damage caused by a group of individuals who did not have this community’s best interests in mind. Dedicated staff members will then resume the work of preparing our facilities as we welcome thousands of families, parents, and guests to campus for our Commencement ceremonies.

As we approach finals, the end of the academic year, and Commencement, I recognize that there is disagreement on difficult issues and there will continue to be debate. But I also know we can express our views and beliefs without diminishing the experiences and accomplishments of others. That will be our challenge in the days ahead and I know it is one that this community will rise to meet.

Sincerely,

Gregory L. Fenves

Follow-up 1 (two days later):

Dear Emory Community,

On Friday and again yesterday, hundreds of students and faculty assembled peacefully on our Atlanta campus for student-led protests. Our open expression team worked closely with the student organizers of the events to facilitate their peaceful expression, and that partnership worked as it is supposed to.

That changed last night.

Late in the evening, as students and faculty were assembled on the Quad, several individuals rapidly approached Convocation Hall and spray-painted hateful messages on the building’s exterior walls. Several other structures were also vandalized. These individuals brazenly disrupted what had been a peaceful protest. Many on the Quad, including those participating in the protest, condemned the action as the work of individuals from outside our community. Last night’s incidents follow similar vandalism that occurred on the Quad last Monday. The Emory Police Department is coordinating with other law enforcement agencies to investigate these crimes.

With the events of this week, it has become clear: Emory is navigating a divide between individuals who wish to express themselves peacefully and those who seek to use our campus as a platform to promote discord. Incidents like this—perpetrated by those who aim to disrupt and divide us—must be rejected and condemned at Emory.

This is a distinctly emotional and challenging time. We continue to gather the facts so that we can update you on the steps we are taking to address this week’s events. As we engage in important conversations about how we move forward, we must not allow hatred to overwhelm the many peaceful and thoughtful voices at Emory.

I am dedicated to keeping this campus safe as community members finish classes, continue their research, sit for exams, and prepare for Commencement.

Follow-up 2 (three days later):

Dear Emory Community,

Over the past week, Emory has experienced unprecedented protests and disruptions. We are not alone. Nationwide, universities are grappling with events that have deeply shaken our respective communities. I have heard from many of you, and I want you to know that I am listening. I understand your concerns, your fears, your frustrations, and your outrage. As we enter the final week of the academic year, I am focused on protecting our campuses, supporting peaceful expression for all members of our community, and finding ways to foster healing and rebuild trust.

I would like to use this message to update you on last Thursday’s events.

Based on the information we had early Thursday morning, we determined that the individuals who constructed the encampment on our Quad were not members of our community. It is clear to us now that this information was not fully accurate, and I apologize for that mischaracterization. My goal was to remove a growing encampment, as allowing such an encampment would have been highly disruptive, affecting everything from classes and exams to our ability to hold Commencement. I remain firm that such encampments cannot be permitted at Emory.

Let me be clear: I am devastated that members of our community were caught up in law enforcement activity enforcing the removal of the encampment. The videos of these interactions are deeply distressing. I take Thursday’s events very seriously and we are launching a thorough review of them so that we can develop recommendations to improve how we keep our community safe. This review will include how Emory engages external law enforcement agencies.

I am committed to supporting our students and faculty who wish to express their views peacefully. We will not tolerate conduct that undermines these efforts. I know that many members of our community are focused on their classes, research, exams, and upcoming graduation. We are working hard to keep our campus as free from disruption as possible so that these important core functions of the university can carry forward at the highest level.

Watched a vid of some Karen showing up UCLA trying to get students to talk to her. They all either ignored her or told her to go talk to the media relations person but didn't want to be interviewed so she could edit the footage to mischaracterize them. End of video is her crocodile tearing up and bemoaning how no one will talk to her, she even took off all her Jewish jewelry before showing up but she's being treated as an outcast. Another was of some woman with shirt with yellow Jewish star standing in a crowd just chanting "I am not afraid, look at me" while people just ignored her haha. Video even spins around to show jewish students with banners for "Free Palenstine" watching her and no one is attacking her at all. The fucking victim complex is amazing.
