Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

[Heisenberg]

I'm more concerned with the real violence in the streets of Chicago - you know, the stuff  some people pretend to care about to score political points  - than two groups of dopes performatively slapfighting.
But by all means, take a minor occurrence and portray it as a sign of the coming apocalypse.  And get your facts wrong along the way. It's where you shine.

My concern with all these protests, be this one, Minneapolis, Detroit, Skokie, Staten Island, etc, is the lack of a proper police presence.

Cornell has 22,000 students. 20% or 4,000 are Jewish.


Cornell's Kosher Dining Hall (104 West) is now on lockdown, and Jewish students are scared to leave their rooms.
The Cornell Police, State Police, and the FBI have all been alerted, and police are currently stationed at 104 West.

It will take more than strongly worded statements for the administration to alleviate the legitimate fears of 4,000 students.

They cannot come back tomorrow and Tuesday when nothing happens, no one is arrested, and announced "all clear."

White House preps for broader war as concerns rise
https://www.axios.com/2023/10/29/white-house-biden-prepare-broader-war-israel-hamas

The Biden administration is preparing for the possibility the Israel-Hamas war will expand across the Middle East, and is focused on making sure U.S. forces in the region have adequate protection, U.S. and Israeli officials tell Axios.

Why it matters: The alarming prospect of regional escalation — fueled by a series of skirmishes beyond the fighting in Gaza — hangs over many of the internal and external conversations among top officials at the White House.

This is repulsive if accurate. 

[forgetful]

This is repulsive if accurate.

They are posted to Greekrank, a site used by college kids to determine which fraternities/sororities are best, that has no affiliation with the University.

It is disgusting, and needs to be fully vetted, but the choice of where it was posted suggests this might be a disgustingly crude ploy by an attention seeker. Or some crude dare/hazing event.

Putin meets with representatives from Hamas and Iran.   Hundreds of Russians storm an airport where a plane is landing from Israel in what is being called an antisemitic mob.     Surprising there were so many able bodied Russians left.
Purely coincidental, I am sure.

True, but this is also the same University who has a professor who was "exhilarated" by the Hamas butchery on Oct. 7th.  We have a severe problem.  Not that I'm a huge fan of the guy but it's essentially what Bill Maher initially said a week or so ago about what they're actually teaching at his Alma Mater, the Ivies, and many, many, other Universities across the country.  This oppresor/oppressed world view mentality (which seems to be taught extensively) is part of this whole thing.

Wait ... not the same Putin that far too many who claim to love Israel constantly defer to, defend and compliment, right?

It's weird.  Russia is certainly supplying arms to the enemies of Israel, yet, we have a group of politicians in D.C. who don't want to help support Ukraine who is on the frontline against Putin and Russia. 

We also have influence peddlers dealing in anti-Semitic tropes in their attacks against Zelensky in an attempt to sway public opinion here in America.

Yesterday, MTG, proud MAGA proponent announce she would not support aid to either Ukraine or Israel.  Huh.

Have you received an Ivy League education?

Because this isn't what is being extensively taught there, unless you mean that they teach students to critically evaluate all sides of any issue with trusted and reputable sources when making an argument.

That's what the 30 student Harvard groups were doing?  When they blamed Israel 100% for what happened on Oct. 7?  That's critical analysis?  LOL.

It's not my fault people can't see the full picture and how it would benefit the entire world.

No one said they learned the lesson of "critically evaluating all sides of an issue before making a well-worded response."

They also certainly weren't taught what they posted.

Learning is a process fraught with mistakes.

[MuggsyB]

What's up with this nuke that's "24 times the strength" of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?  That's it?  I thought by now we'd have something with a little more umph.

They weren't taught?  So this was just something genetically in their brain?

Need to modify your 5 point plan because of this?

It's not only politicians. It's some Scoopers also not showing much concern for Ukrainian kids, let alone propping up Putin.

As for MQG ... not only hasn't Congressperson Jewish Space Laser ever been criticized for her anti-Semitism by the Criminal Defendant, he has praised her constantly, gladly accepted her undying support, and supposedly has her on his short list of running-mate candidates.

I'm disappointed lawdog, but believe we have enough options to pull off certain subsets within my 5 point plan.

You realize this is the exact mentality of every overreaching dictator ever? That everyone else is wrong and it's their fault they all can't see what they personally see?

Your 5-point plan reminds me of the "replace" part of "repeal and replace" the ACA.

I always laugh when people say universities are liberal brainwashing centers. I don't think there's a single university in the states where the faculty are more liberal than the student body. The younger generations are (and always have been) more socially liberal than the generations before them

Oh boy...I'm not sure about the bolded.

But regardless, I don't think it matters. Most professors just teach their subject matter regardless of their political beliefs either way.
