Gaza protests have made it to UF

Do any of these colleges actually have investments in Israel?

 

Looks familiar ...

 

Not IN Israel, but in companies with ties to Israel or ties to weapons manufacturers

 

Basically irrelevant. Kids are finishing the semester and gearing up for finals.

 

Okay. Thanks. But here’s an idea for the students:

GO TO (freaking) CLASS!!!

 

Note from my college student to you:

GET OFF INTERNET AND GO TO (freaking) WORK

 

Why does the speaker have a head scarf on where no one can see her face?

 

Of course many wear mask to hide behind

 

I fairly regularly listen to The Promised podcast, hosted by Noah Efron. It's from Israel even though it's in English, although they play songs in Hebrew.

There was a brief segment a couple of weeks ago in which the hosts, who I would estimate to be regularly in their 50s, have many friends both in Israel and among the Diaspora who are shocked and dismayed that their own children seem to express sentiments that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

The younger generation, worldwide, may not simply accept the Palestine exception to free speech. It may not make any difference ultimately, but we would be blind to suggest that it is not a wide based phenomenon.

The official description of the show:

An inside view of how Israel can warm your heart and make your blood boil. It’s a show by three folks who live in and love Israel even though it drives them crazy, and who each week discuss the latest in Israeli politics, culture and society.

LMAO at the 7 people in that video who are still wearing a mask.

 

I still wear one in a crowded place. Laugh your ass off.

 

Launch the teargas canisters!!

 

Send in the cops. That has made things so much better. It's not like throwing cops at the problem has caused this thing to blow up.

Exactly. Unless they threaten other students or engage in violence, ignore them. They'll be gone for the summer soon.

 

It's the message that must be quashed, as a deterrent effect

 

Could there be a percentage that don’t attend UF?

 

They’re likely wearing the masks to hide their faces, not due to fear of Covid.

 

Would be quite a statement if UF sent in the cops to allow a Nazi to speak but to crush a bunch of kids camping out to protest genocide
