    Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is calling on Harvard to release the names of students that are members of groups that signed a pro-terror statement in response to the recent Hamas attacks against Israel, so that employers do not “inadvertently” hire pro-terrorist graduates in the future.
    ---
    Good for Mr. Ackerman. We need more people to speak up. Maybe some of the radical liberals will now start to wake up. It's a good time to show support for the USA and Israel.

    Was it a "pro-terror" statement? I thought it claimed Israel was responsible for the actions of Hamas by virtue of its inhumane oppression of the Palestinian citizens living in Gaza and Palestinians in the occupied areas generally.

    Agreed. Shine the light on these little terrorist supporters. What could they be afraid of?

    Sometimes I wish I were a MAGA.

    Life would be so much simpler.

    Everything is black and white.

    No need to understand complex things.

    Palestinians are all terrorists and Israelis are all nice people.

    Gaza has been an open-air prison for over 20 years.

    The vast majority of Hamas extremists who took part in the raid had never been out of Gaza all their life.

    Because to get out - like visiting family outside the city walls - you need permission from Israel... which is never given.

    And now, because of these animals from Hamas, millions of innocent Gazan civilians living in abject poverty will suffer a terrible war.

    But if I were a MAGA, this kind of "detail" wouldn't bother me.

    How, exactly, are you tying support for Israel to support for the US?

    You don't think it's possible to support the US without supporting Israel?

    There's a well known phrase describing MAGA thinking. Ignorance is bliss.

    But that is exactly what you are doing. You are saying that everything is black and white with MAGA. You really need to do a bit of rethinking.

    So Hamas can somehow bring in weapons but nobody can leave and that’s only Israel’s fault? I don’t know the geography well but I do know at least 3 groups control migration: Hamas, Egypt, and Israel. Curious how you only blame one group and don’t even factor in the other 2. Mr. Detail. Lol!

    fact of the matter is Hamas doesn’t want anyone to leave or there goes their human shield they use for both protection and propaganda. But who’s concerned with all the facts? Not you!

    also fact, Palestinians are the reason Israel left Gaza, disengaged completely, and then the promptly voted for Hamas to take over.

    Palestinians made their bed. And they seem to like it.

    So remind me again why Israel having a secure border is the reason why Palestinians and Hamas want to kill them all? What BS

    Thank you Mr. Billionaire Jewishman for telling me that you support the Jewish state of Israel and are seeking reciprocity for those daring to not go with your message. I'm so glad political opinions are stifled by our elite class of "Chosen" people who can do no wrong.

    Unique Hatred For Jews And Israel Among The Trendy Western Left
    October 11, 2023/ Francis Menton
    [​IMG]

    • Among the trendy Left, and particularly on elite academic campuses, hatred of Israel, and by association of all Jews, has long been on the ascendant. The Anti-Defamation League traces the origins of the “Boycott, Divest, Sanctions” movement against Israel to the early 2000s.

    • By the time we get to the most recent ten years, every elite academic institution has multiple student groups and scores of faculty members advocating for delegitimizing Israel as oppressors of the Palestinians, or even as an “apartheid state.”

    • And thus the current wave of atrocities perpetrated by Hamas against Israel has brought out statements of support from some 30+ student groups at Harvard, from the Student Bar Association at NYU, from a group of students at Stanford, and many other such around the country.

    • In the bigger picture, the treatment of Israel and Israeli Jews by Muslims is not at all unique.

    Israel controls.......controlled..........the border between Israel and Gaza. From Wikipedia.....

    The Gaza–Israel barrier (sometimes called the Iron Wall[1][2][3]) is a border barrier located on the Israeli side of the Gaza–Israel border.[4] The Erez Crossing, in the north of the Gaza Strip, is the only crossing point for people and goods coming from Israel into Gaza; there exists a second crossing point in the barrier, called the Kerem Shalom border crossing, which is exclusive for the crossing of goods coming from Egypt, as Israel does not allow goods to go directly from Egypt into Gaza through the Egypt–Gaza border.[5][6]

    A fence along the border was first constructed by Israel in 1994 as a security barrier, and has been rebuilt and upgraded since. It was constructed by Israel to control the movement of people as well as goods between the Gaza Strip and Israel, which it could not achieve by normal border crossings.

    When a prisoner manages to sneak a knife into his cell, is it his fault or that of the guards?

    Because you can never ask Hamas to be anything other than a terrorist group that wants all Israelis dead.

    Israel controls all Gaza border crossings except one, which is in Rafah (Egypt).

    They are also taken hostage by terrorists (Hamas) and by Israelis who want to keep them imprisoned in Gaza.

    It's happiness.

    I believe there are recent threads by RWers claiming MAGA people are being watched for terrorism.

    Maybe the signees are part of that cult?

    This type of attack was extreme and maybe over the top. We don't know all the details leading up to this horrific act.
    But it goes back over 2000 yrs and exacerbated in 1948 with the sudden formation of a state that hadn't existed for 2000 yrs.

    ...
    The Partition of Palestine
    In 1947, after more than two decades of British rule, the United Nations proposed a plan to partition Palestine into two sections: an independent Jewish state and an independent Arab state. The city of Jerusalem, which was claimed as a capital by both Jews and Palestinian Arabs, was to be an international territory with a special status.

    Jewish leaders accepted the plan, but many Palestinian Arabs—some of whom had been actively fighting British and Jewish interests in the region since the 1920s—vehemently opposed it.

    Arab groups argued that they represented the majority of the population in certain regions and should be granted more territory. They began to form volunteer armies throughout Palestine.

    Israel Becomes a State
    In May 1948, less than a year after the Partition Plan for Palestine was introduced, Britain withdrew from Palestine and Israel declared itself an independent state, implying a willingness to implement the Partition Plan.

    I suppose hating Jews does blind people to the fact that Israel is the only place in the region where it is safe to be Jewish, Christian, American, atheist, gay, non-Muslim, or critical of religion/government. Support for the anti-Israel side is not a position of concern for humanity.

    I agree with everything you said , the issue is complex. So, lets see the other side

    If Israel change their policy today and remove all the walls, remove all the restriction, open up every thing and incorporate Palestinians in to Israeli society , do you think we will have peace in ME?

    Not at all. The “peace loving innocent Palestinian “ will not accept the “ State of Israel” in ME. Most of the Palestinians are not violent or aggressive toward Israel but they will look the other way when they see “other Palestinians” violent toward Israel.

    Palestinians and Arabs do not want to co-exist with Jews. So how do you create peace with them?

    There is much to be admired about Israel. Their treatment of Palestinians and the governance of Bibi Netanyahu are not among them.

    As a previous poster pointed out, it's not a binary issue. Nine members of the Arab League recognize Israel.........Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Palestine.

    Those so called inhumane actions taken are almost always a response to terror attacks committed by Hamas and other would be Jew exterminators among the Palestinians.
    The equation is damn simple leave the Jews alone and we can all live and prosper screw with the Jews, and your live get harder and potentially much shorter, The best you can say about the leaders of the Palestinians is that they are very slow learners.

    Talk about simplistic bullshit the above is it. They haven't been out of Gaza because no Sunni Muslim states trust those funded by Shi'a Iran as far as the can throw an aircraft carrier. The only time the Pals aren't pariahs in the entire middle east is when some one feels the need to do some virtue signaling regarding Muslim solidarity.
