Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
This would be a marginally relevant complaint if the protesters were trying to make their university stop the bombing rather than divest from Israel in response to the bombings.
And one of them has the means to do so, is supported by our country, and is currently doing so. This is an "All Lives Matter" stance. Yeah, sure, they matter and everyone deserves to live in peace, but you're just saying that to muddy the waters in response to people talking about the lives that actually are being exterminated. Pablum aside, you very clearly have a side.
Many universities promised that, yet the protests didn't stop.
Which one? Because the universities that made deals had their encampments disband, and they weren't even promising to divest, just look into it. Never mind that you're just casually moving on from your whole point being false. I have little faith this new misdirection is actually true.
I'm not giving you any more leeway. You're not acting like someone who's just stuck in the middle in an ugly world. You very clearly have a side and will make false statements to support it. Acknowledge your original complaint was full of shit first, then maybe I'll address whatever your next misdirection is.
