    There's also a component (don't know the degree to which) BDS hurts the Palestinians who either work in Israel or who rely on Israeli exports.

    I watched it several more times after you said it. It didn't happen. You can see she pulled her right arm back and away. I guess you could say it was "a swing", but it wasn't "a swing at" the cop.

    That’s great, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with protesting. The only protests I’ve ever attended were around that same time, and for the same reason.

    Okay, I guess we’re into VAR handball territory now. But if I thought that might be a swing watching a video, so might the cop in real time, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence it was immediately after that when he hurled her to the ground.

    Like the January 6th protestors, not the capital building ones, but the dummies that went to listen to Trump rant.

    Maybe because it's backed by a 350 million country and a 700 million union, together with economic power of about 2/3 of the world with military support?
    Any of other nationalisms in the world that can match that and is military in control of countries around it and is in possession of nukes?

    As @Belgian guy mentioned it's one in a stream of similar cases. Idf military/Israeli have said they use AI to find and target socalled terrorists.
    The number of journalists killed by strikes and the subsequently death of family members reported are too much of a coincidence. It's a pattern already months ago pointed at by human right watchers.

    Have no clue how American universities operate, that they're targeted for investments in Israel.
    Activists in my Alma Mater, Erasmus University, want ties with Israeli univerities cut. See the link I provided.
    I'm against cutting academic ties, as long as these don't include weapon/weaponized it/weaponized biology research.

    So Columbia was aware of this person's social media comments and even had a hearing with him in January where he basically didn't back his comments out (even brags about not doing so) and apparently they did nothing about it ? Now they kick him out just because it went viral ? I'd like to know if he was disciplined at all.

    This is per the ADL, & the vast majority of these are just mundane pro-Palestinian protests.



    It's the racket to give insulation to Israel's crimes against humanity. And the disproportional sympathy is based on which nation/group has more $ behind them, as Chomsky points out.

    More Zionist scams to frame selves as victims to manufacture consent for genocide & apartheid.

    My favorite is still the "rape is resistance" stickers, as if anyone's genuinely said that in history.

    Chomsky is a putz , always has been. Prior to this war antisemitic crimes and events were already up to previous years. Not just a little either. How do you explain that?

    Call to authority only works if the person is an authority. Chomsky is a linguist.

    The core of anti-semitic slogans, guess about 99%, in the list is the From the River slogan and some in here call it a call for genocide and thus those etc.
    Reminds me of the use by West bank settlers (and the idf) of the Judea-Samaria designation as a justification of their ongoing land stealing and murder.
    I recall that Judea-Samaria designation being used in here too.
    So using the same narrative, this means etc...

    Chomsky's perspective on what is and isn't a genocide is, to put it mildly, not reliable.

    Chomsky is very versed in what USA did in S America. His critique of USA is on point regarding that.

    The issue is that he is an "NATO made Russia invade" guy, denies the Cambodian genocide by the Khmer Rouge, does not consider what happened in Bosnia as Genocide and doing shady stuff with Epstein after the allegations came out

    Judea and Samaria are the historical names for the area predating West Bank by at least a very long time. One literally calls for a genocide and the other is a name for an area.

    Nothing remotely the same.

    I don't doubt that, but those outside of the trvmp spectrum, but anti-semites non the less won't refuse that gift.

    I did specifically point to Chomsky's frequent bouts of genocide denial when carried out by non/anti-Western actors.

    EDIT: It's been a LONG time since I perused it, but I recall thinking "Manufactured Consent" had merit.
