- archagon 2y agoNo, I recall the protests erupting shortly after Israel started annihilating Gaza and chasing the refugee population around the country.

- archagon 2y agoLooks like the article is describing a poorly-considered letter, not protests. And in any case, it seems irrelevant to the protests Mahmoud Khalil was part of. I take offense at the idea that an anti-war and/or anti-genocide protest would necessarily¹ be "100% pro Hamas," since you could make the same argument about any similar protest with a drastic imbalance of power: pro-Ukraine, anti-Vietnam-War, etc. What I'm hearing is "stop struggling, you'll only make it worse" as dozens of Palestinian civilians are blown up for each murdered Israeli. The only way not to care is if you've dehumanized these people completely. Wherever you get your notions from, they are certainly not coming from "logical people." ¹ (Which is not to discount that there were some anti-semitic and pro-Hamas protesters as well. My sense is that they were far from the majority.)

- anigbrowl 2y agoany similar protest with a drastic imbalance of power: pro-Ukraine Elon Musk today called a US Senator (Mark Kelly) a traitor for traveling to Kiev and expressing support for the government there.
- fzil 2y agofor your sanity stop replying to invalidname, that dude is in every single Israel / Palestine post, with non-stop commenting. I think he's (she's?) paid to astro-turf here. Just look at their history, and then look at mine for a convo that I have had with them in the past.
