Don't really want a VP who likes to stomp out student's right to free speech. He belongs on a 90s ticket, not a 2024 run.
Building on that comment, we don't need a president who likes to stomp out students right to free speech by implying that those students are pro- Hamas, backed by Iran and Anti Semitic.
Shapiro: criticizes campus protests for their antisemitism, publicly reaffirms his commitment to a 2-state solution, and calls Netanyahu an “obstacle” to the solution Lemmy: OMG!!! Terrible human! Walz: criticizes campus protests for their antisemitism Lemmy: Yay!!!
Edit: in case anyone actually cares about facts, the quotes are about the PLO and Arafat (you can find the whole op ed thing easily online and it’s like 1 page). He also describes his support for a 2 state solution in the article. He ends the article by saying that he hopes the two sides can get over themselves and stop fighting, despite his skepticism
Which is a strawman. The protests are against genocide and in large part led by anti-zionist Jews.
That's what they all say to sound like they're pro-peace without saying anything to endanger the legal bribes from AIPAC.
Gonna need a source with full context on that one.
Oh, you mean the ones who were actually willing to negotiate in good faith and were then replaced by the initially Israel-funded terrorist group Hamas?
More empty rhetoric
And a colossal false equivalence to go out on. Nice. 🙄
“I believe everything you say except the stuff that makes Shapiro look good and challenges my narrow worldview”
That’s hilarious my dude, it’s pretty easy to google things.
And denying that any antisemitism happened during the protests is laughable. There were specific cases Shapiro named. He never issued a blanket condemnation of the protests, only specific instances
Another ridiculous strawman. Are you incapable of arguing in good faith or do you just choose not to at every opportunity?
Says the Hasbarist whose sources are likely only pro-Israel ones such as Times of Israel, NYT, and Jerusalem Post 🙄
I didn't. I said that wasn't what the protests were about any more than Black Lives Matter protests are about breaking things like the American Fascist Party pretends.
Cases such as the one where what Zionists had used as the basis of painting all the protesters with a broad brush as antisemites turned out to be a Zionist successfully trying to get protesters arrested?
