University of Texas Instantly Shuts Down Anti Israel Protests

a reply to: FlyersFan

No, you're defending more than that. I've seen your other threads.

Including Israel's?

a reply to: FlyersFan

Morons indeed.

They are being shipped around the country to incite and disrupt.

t.me...

The muppets in the video aren’t one offs.
I have family members like them.

They are tools.

Again with you minimizing ... no it wasn't just 'a few handfuls' ... the entire protest was one big antisemitic threat.

I’m not minimizing. Only saying individuals should be held accountable for their own actions. In a large group, if some people do something wrong, the whole group isn’t wrong.

Wait until election season, this is just the beginning. The left will try to paint the right with a broad brush because of cherry picked individuals and many will rightfully point that out.

You’re using the same tactics as they did in Charlottesville and J6 where they try and criminalize everyone on one side for the actions of a smaller sample.

The Israeli government is not the same thing as the Jewish people. It's possible to be critical of the Israeli government without being anti-Semitic.

I mean aren't you guys always talking about how the Israeli government can't be racist because there are Palestinians elected to it?

Sure. I'm all for peaceful protests.

But there is no right that allows the infringement of anothers rights.

We are all for peaceful protests.
And people are still allowed not to support Israel. All within the rules.

Nope. And may or may not go on in other threads is irrelevant to the topic of this one. The bottom line is that Jewish students should be able to go to a school that they paid for without having threats made against their life. They should be able to be safe. Columbia has failed. UT students said they were going to do the same thing as Columbia. University of Texas shut it down before it could happen. Good for them!

I ask again, what government isn't corrupt?

a reply to: PorkChop96

Why can't you just give a straight answer?

Sure.

But when you all recommend final solutions, then it loses the nuance.

It's a classical tactic to shut down protests. Put some agitators or even pay them and they can be used as an excuse.

Sure.

But there is no right that allows infringement upon another's rights.

Is your government corrupt?

Absolutely.

a reply to: FlyersFan

I should have the freedom to criticize the actions of my corrupt government or any corrupt government including Israel without being slandered an anti-semite. You people are fighting to have that right taken away.

Sounds like insurrection to me.

Is our government's ally, the Israeli government corrupt?

Why can't you answer the question asked to you before you asked a question?

Don't know.

I'm not an Israeli.
