On college campuses, are the protesters right wing wackos? Or left wing liberals?

That’s a silly question. They even admit they are Leftists, joined by their professors and Antifa

The real awakening in their wokeness is when they finally get what they want and realize 'hey.. ..wait a minute.. ..I live here too!'

left wing liberals. They are following in the footsteps of their party which has a history of antisemitism, dating back to FDR.

Sad state of affairs, isn't it??????

I understand that some people get confused by this or are intentionally misrepresenting it with a fallacious Strawman argument, but being against thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians getting killed doesn't equate to Anti Semitism.

I can't speak for everyone, but there are quite a few people who don't want to see innocent Palestinians or Jews from Israel needlessly losing their lives.

Reasonable people want peace, period.

I agree, but that goes both ways.

Some people are intentionally misrepresenting opposition to antisemitic hate speech, calls to violence, vandalism, and disorderly conduct on private property as oppressing 'Free Speech'.



Plus.

it can be done in very poor taste.

As I've said in previous posts, that is not okay, especially if it crosses the line into violence/property damage, harassment (which would apply here), etc.

Well, that's kind of impossible considering he was at the extreme right of the political spectrum.

Let me repeat it for you, so you finally get it: he went after the communists (extreme left) FIRST. Clear?

And before you reply, you might want to stop and think. And review history, start with the burning of the Reichstag and the Spanish civil war.
