> I've never seen any protest by students that protested against Palestine. you should think long and hard why that is but answer is as always quite simple

We all know why, and the reason doesn't fit what you want to believe. That's why you pretend to be obscure about it. Otherwise, you would have just said so out loud already.

  It's because the US government doesn't fund hamas and US companies don't work with Hamas.

    The protest isn't about Hamas/Palestine. It's about criticizing what Israel is doing.

      I was answering why you don't see people protesting Hamas, which is what you brought up. If you didn't want to discuss that, then you shouldn't have brought it up.

        But the protest isn't about who funds whom. It's about criticizing what Israel is doing. > If you didn't want to discuss that, then you shouldn't have brought it up. I want to discuss it but you misunderstand the topic and seem angry based on your own misunderstanding.

        I didn't misunderstand or get angry. You brought up people not protesting Palestine. I didn't insult you, belittle you, or anything else so I don't know why you would think I'm angry except you've just decided everyone who agrees with you is angry, which is a bad habit to have

        You were definitely angry given your comment here "If you didn't want to discuss that, then you shouldn't have brought it up." If you weren't, we would just discuss normally without insulting that the other side didn't have intention to discuss in a discussion forum. So, somehow my comment angered you that you had to resort to the tactics of undermining the other side.

        They were expressing a normative statement about an observation they made; that you took it as an insult is your problem. You brought up Palestine, then said this discussion isn't about Palestine. Indeed, if you think something is not relevant to the discussion, you should not bring it up in a given discussion.

        Because they obviously tried to make it any insult by attacking the person they discussed with. Who said it wasn't about Palestine? Who even thinks that? We are talking about the protest regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, right? So, you think Palestine is irrelevant to the discussion of ... rolling the dice ... the Israel-Palestine conflict

        I did not insult you, it seems like you are just having trouble understanding other people.
