Associate professor of political science, @daliaffahmy adds historic context to the university encampment protests taking place in the US and across the world. She also says that by branding antiwar protests as Semitic “dilutes what anti-Semitism is”.

@cynthiabragg2611 sadly, no. That is not why he is saying that. There is a very real horror of some kind playing out in America today. And it is rooted in a thing called evil. Evil has swallowed the majority of the nation. It has even turned the american churches into houses of demons that follow doctrines of demons. Anyone who is not blind by this evil watches in horror.
Clearly the movement to stand against the war on gaza is a GOOD thing and what is occurring on the campuses is Good in that it stands against a horrible evil occurring on innocent women and children in an urban area called Gaza. But they must label it as EVIL because it is a WOE that must occur in America at the time of America’s end. THEY MUST LABEL ALL GOOD AS EVIL AND ALL EVIL AS GOOD.
I’m an old man and I go to ground soon. But I weep and moan for what will happen in America shortly.

Long live the holy land of Israel 🇮🇱
They are just a mob of useless trend followers with nothing better to do. Glory to Israel freedom and democracy.
Maybe the difference is…they are being paid..like blm and antifa. A student run protest typically has hand made signs…and that’s it. Not printed posters, placards, and numerous flags. Someone is buying it all. We will see once more get arrested, and if there is a blanket bail that covers all arrested…then we know for sure.
F there is

1. University students across the world and throughout history have always been at the vanguard of new thinking, different from their elders. That’s just because of who they are – young people, with bright minds, able to see and think with the facts before them, unencumbered from the old ways of thinking and conventions (and previous experiences, good or bad). These new thoughts are not necessarily always anti-war, e.g., in the pre-WWI era, patriotism and a fervor FOR war was the common thinking amongst the young men in universities across England and Europe, simply because none of these young men had experienced the horrors of a true war for well over a generation. And so these new thoughts from the young in the universities are also not always right or well informed by previous experience, nor do they always take root in the rest of the society, but very often, they do mark a shift, a phase change in the way that their societies will look at long standing issues forever. This is what happened with the way Americans looked at their military and American foreign wars after the Vietnam War era anti-war protests. It was a generational change that did take root in American society.
2. We are now on the third iteration of Israel, Israel v.3.0. While the Jewish people have always considered this to be Their Promised Land, given to them by Yaweh, the truth is that other non-Jewish peoples have ALWAYS lived there before they arrived, well into prehistoric times. And so the reality, the truth, is that whenever each version of Israel has been established, those people have had to be removed, so that the Jewish people could claim the land as theirs.
And so I just find it amazing that the vast, vast, vast- majority of people in the USA, especially the devout Christians who claim to support Israel, don’t understand that simple fact. Have they never actually read the Bible? What exactly do they think these phrases mean: ???
=======================
Joshua 6: 20-21
When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.
They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
=======================
My Bible reading devout Christian fourth grade teacher read the full story of Joshua 6 to us one day in class, many many decades ago, when such things were still allowed in public schools in America, and that story, from the very first time that I heard it, when I was a mere child, ALWAYS bothered me – this story of how the army of the Israelites destroyed the city of Jericho and wiped out all its people.
Did Joshua 6 never bother anybody else?
The destruction of Jericho was a war crime, the Original Sin in the Creation Story of The First Israel. A War Crime imprinted into the Holiest Book of Christianity itself, a War Crime that was sanctioned by Yaweh Himself.
Yep, that’s right. In order to establish each and every iteration of Israel, Jewish soldiers have always had to go into the Promised Land and drive off and/or exterminate the people who were there already. That was true for Israel v.1.0, v.2.0, and v.3.0
3. Modern Israel v.3.0 had its origins in the Balfour Declaration during WWI, a foolish British political scheme to create trouble for the already tottering Ottoman Empire by encouraging the emigration of Jews into Ottoman controlled Muslim Palestine, and then was really given full life because of the Holocaust of WWII. In 1948, a Jewish Army buddy from WWI and later former business partner of US President Truman, Edward Jacobson, was tasked with a mission to lobby Truman for support during the UN vote on the plan to partition out a new Jewish state of Israel from Palestine. The US State Dept at the time was against this UN Partition plan, but Jacobson managed to convince Truman to support it. Thus Israel v.3.0 was born. In 1972, as Israel was reeling from the initial Arab successes of the Yom Kippur War, Henry Kissinger cast the survival of Israel as being key to the U.S. policy of containment of the Soviet Union, and so began the massive multi-billion dollar arming of Israel by the U.S., paid for by US taxpayer money. Previously, the US had stayed out of the business of supplying arms to Israel. After 1972, every year, American taxpayers have been giving at least $2-5 billion to Israel. That was the biggest sea change in US foreign policy since the White House visit by Ed Jacobson in 1948.
4. Because Israel v.3.0 rose out of the aftermath of the Holocaust, it has been easy for its supporters and propagandists to denounce anybody who criticizes any war crimes or other cruel actions committed by Israel as being “Anti-Semitic”. And, of course, if the critic is Jewish (like Bernie Sanders), that person is a “self-hating Jew”. Well, whatever. It’s become such a trope, such a knee jerk reaction, that anybody with a brain can see through this propaganda.
5. I do see these widespread protests in the universities in the U.S. as the beginnings of a new sea change in regards to US foreign policy on Israel. I remember the Vietnam War era protests. It was very similar. The standard mainstream news media and politicians at the time all denounced the student protestors. Four university students at Kent State were shot to death by the National Guard soldiers sent to quell the protests. Yeah, the Vietnam War protests were actually much, much worse.
And then … some 10-20 years later, those students grew up, matured, and started political careers so that they could influence the wheels of power in America … and eventually, they took control and started making some real changes in America.
6. The people of Israel have steadily changed, and their worldwide image have changed, from the plucky survivors of the Holocaust, into ever more far right nationalist, pro-Greater Israel, and ultra-religious extremists. Every year, tens if not hundreds of thousands of Israelis leave the country, emigrating to the US and elsewheres, generally tired of the neverending war and onerous living conditions in Israel that greatly favor the ultra-religious as their own separate highly privileged welfare class, while, at the same time, ultra-nationalist and ultra-religious Jews from the US and other countries as well as ex-Soviet Jews move INTO Israel. About 1/6 of Israelis are now from the ex-Soviet region. All the previous peace loving Israelis open to the idea of a two-state solution have mostly if not entirely left the country. Israelis who support a two-state solution are now a tiny microscopic minority in Israel. The idea of simply exterminating or expelling all the Palestinians from Israel has over the years moved from an extremist idea that could not be talked about openly and become …. well, a centrist viewpoint in the ever increasingly extremist politics of the government of Israel.
Increasingly, Israel, which used to enjoy bipartisan support in the US, has become a divisive political issue. Netanyahu himself pushed hard to make Israel a partisan political issue in the US, openly throwing his support to the Republican Party in the 2012 US elections
If you look at the history of the previous versions of Israel, that’s not really a smart move. Anybody remember King Zedekiah? His story is in the Bible also. Yeah, look that up. Netanyahu reminds me a lot of King Zedekiah.
Free Palestine and Africa!
Well said
It is telling that Zahir Muhse’in, member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee, said the following in a 1977 interview with the Amsterdam-based newspaper Trouw. “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”
Agreeing that the war needs nto stop.. now, how do you pick a side? Both are killing innocent people for no good reason.
Palestinians needs freedom they don’t deserve to live under occupation

@Farfar: ..and start with “religious Fundamentalism”! 🤦♂️
Its sad that america is exactly like n. Korea an russia when it come to protesting against the government.. Sad very sad..
My biggest fear is that the conflict in Gaza turns into a religious conflict. Zionism is an interpretation of the Bible that gives a small group ownership and power over us all. We should concentrate on the fact that religious exceptionalism is the enemy not the saviour of civilization. If history doesn’t prove for you that religion is always just another new group eliminating another I am not sure that we will shift away from the ultimate destruction of what could have otherwise become a truly exceptional civilization.
