(2,895 posts)tantamount to supporting the destruction of Gaza, because that’s what their doing. Moreover, and more to the point, when you make a law or administrative policy, it has to apply across the board to everyone. So even if you think your side is too gracious and demure to engage in such behavior, you still need to be cognizant of the larger implications. And the simple fact is, your side is not. Again, as I have said above, Netanyahu’s administration has issued numerous statements in support of wiping out the Palestinians in Gaza. It is simply naive to think all university students are rosy cheeked cherubs who would never say such a thing, especially those of a right-wing persuasion. Who do you think was sending racist threats to Claudine Gay?
I don’t know of any pro-Palestinian student calling for the genocide of Israel. Can you cite an example? It was a bullshit gotcha question from some MAGA idiot grandstanding in Congress.
I don’t need to supply an example, because it’s beside the point. And anyway, all I have to do is point to the pro-Israeli counter protesters, because what they are saying is “Yes, Israel has the right and the duty to destroy Gaza.”
By the way, continuous sarcasm doesn’t make an argument. It makes you look like you don’t have one, and comes off as weak.
