If the Jewish students are in danger of a mob, why arent members of the mob arrested?

Fourth, if someone is confident in equating all Palestinians with Hamas, let’s also include all Germans as Nazis, all Americans as White Nationalists. (If you as an American haven’t done anything to stop White Nationalism, even if you don’t participate in it, you must support it, right?)
If you insist on perpetuating these ideas, I conclude that you:
1) either don’t know some of the things I’m referring to above, or you
2) you don’t care to speak the truth or
3) you are actively engaged in trying to rile people up with false and/or misleading information.
If you fall in the first category, you can research and learn more about the situation. (No I’m not going to recommend the any favorite books or anything. Read broadly, and draw your own conclusions).
If you fall into the second or third categories, may I respectfully ask you to do your business elsewhere?
Solipsism (/ˈsɒlɪpsɪzəm/ ⓘ SOLL-ip-siz-əm; from Latin solus 'alone', and ipse 'self')[1] is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.
Cynicism is often contrasted with "Timonism" (cf. Shakespeare's Timon of Athens). Cynics saw what people could be & were angered by what they had become; Timonists felt people were hopelessly stupid & uncaring by nature & so saw no hope for change.
Article 1 All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Anger makes you dumber. It makes you a worse leader, a worse decision-maker.
This is why Seneca wrote his On Anger to Nero. He didn’t think an emperor could afford to be ruled by his passions. “I tell you that anger is a kind of madness,” he wrote. A recent research study conducted and published by psychologist Michael Greenstein proves it.
According to the study, angry people were not only more susceptible to misinformation. They were more likely to use that misinformation to guide their decision-making and actions. Information and confidence, traditionally correlated, followed an opposite trajectory in angry people. As angry people got more false information, they became more confident.
Angry people, unknowingly, confuse their heightened state of emotion for heightened cognitive capabilities. They think their mind is alert, aware, firing on all cylinders. People after a few cocktails do too, but Greenstein implies that the angry-inhibited are more at risk than the alcohol-inhibited. Alcohol impairs memory. Anger gives you false memories.
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune
What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure. - Thomas Jefferson

For future reference X, “Great One” should be capitalized. Please follow that convention in future posts, lest…well you get the picture.
I shouldn’t have said “speak the truth” I should have said “stop promoting false equivalences.”

Statement from UCSD.
Apparently there was an inaccurate post on X.
Between 2002-2013 I did actually research the how and why of Zionism and the take over of American Evangelical thinking by Zionism in the U.S. Then just gave up because the Zionist propaganda was so completely imbedded in U.S. psyche that it seemed quite unbeatable. The so-called Jewish State of Israel seemed to be an unstoppable juggernaut, futile to stand up against.
