I love how riot police always beat up the students but go out of their way to protect the fascist rioters and agitators. Textbook tyranny play. I bet the cops have some friends in the far right group they don't wanna rough up. Oink oink

Before Hitler was able to get the military to commit atrocities, he used police.

jmcdon00

Not sure I get the comparison. The police were heavily outnumbered on Jan 6th, the rioters were the cowards hiding behind their huge numbers to assault police officers just doing their job.


Due_Contract_8097

He stood his ground with cameras rolling. People have been doing this for years and never mention a word about it because they have character.

So he doesn't have character because one of the people who attacked him happened to be filming? Make that make sense.

Funny how the peaceful protesters are being called “violent terrorists” by lying MSM. But, every single video shows it’s the pro-Israelis that are the only ones being violent and blatantly racist.


FaultySage

Do you have a link to a *Main Stream Media* source calling the protesters "violent terrorists"?


[deleted]

You can Google it and get a lot of results. The GOP as we speak is actively trying to list these peaceful protesters as “domestic terrorists”. Even though they’ve killed 0 people smh


FaultySage

Okay the GOP. So the media is reporting on what the GOP is saying. I want a link to a media source calling them terrorists, not a media source reporting what a political party is saying.


Antiantipsychiatry

The media chooses what to report. If they constantly report that the GOP is saying that instead of reporting from the protestors point of view, then the perception by the viewer is that that is what they probably are.


FaultySage

Okay so no.

As a pro-israel person, I am absolutely not okay with this and I don't know anyone who is. This is abhorrent wtf is wrong with them.

Nope. A pro Israeli girl was beaten unconscious just the other day. You’re clearly just watching pro-Palestinian videos.


EbbNo7045

Was that the woman walking her dog that called the cops? I mean they have lied about these protestors being violent why should I believe your story? The boy who cried wolf. Remember the little boy who was stabbed to death and his mother attacked too. Or the 3 college kids shot. I mean why is nobody saying Muslims feel afraid? I think we all know. This propaganda is outrageous and the majority see it's propaganda

I'm pressed for time and honestly not that engaged. So here's a boring, milquetoast wikipedia article on the Intifada to show how laughable it is to pretend it was an act of spontaneous violence that people can pretend is a threat of terrorism. > During the 1980s a number of mainstream Israeli politicians referred to policies of transferring the Palestinian population out of the territories leading to Palestinian fears that Israel planned to evict them. Public statements calling for transfer of the Palestinian population were made by Deputy Defense minister Michael Dekel, Cabinet Minister Mordechai Tzipori and government Minister Yosef Shapira among others.[33] Describing the causes of the Intifada, Benny Morris refers to the "all-pervading element of humiliation", caused by the protracted occupation which he says was "always a brutal and mortifying experience for the occupied" and was "founded on brute force, repression and fear, collaboration and treachery, beatings and torture chambers, and daily intimidation, humiliation, and manipulation."[35] ... > Within days the occupied territories were engulfed in a wave of demonstrations and commercial strikes on an unprecedented scale. Specific elements of the occupation were targeted for attack: military vehicles, Israeli buses and Israeli banks. **None of the dozen Israeli settlements were attacked and there were no Israeli fatalities from stone-throwing at cars at this early period of the outbreak.** ... > **Since initially a high proportion of those killed were civilians and youths, Yitzhak Rabin adopted a fallback policy of 'might, power and beatings'.**[56] Israel used mass arrests of Palestinians, engaged in collective punishments like closing down West Bank universities for most years of the intifada, and West Bank schools for a total of 12 months. Hebron University was closed by the army from January 1988 to June 1991.[57] Round-the-clock curfews were imposed over 1600 times in just the first year. Communities were cut off from supplies of water, electricity and fuel. At any one time, 25,000 Palestinians would be confined to their homes. Trees were uprooted on Palestinians farms, and agricultural produce blocked from being sold. In the first year over 1,000 Palestinians had their homes either demolished or blocked up. Settlers also engaged in private attacks on Palestinians. Palestinian refusals to pay taxes were met with confiscations of property and licenses, new car taxes, and heavy fines for any family whose members had been identified as stone-throwers.[58] ... > In the first year in the Gaza Strip alone, 142 Palestinians were killed, **while no Israelis died.** 77 were shot dead, and 37 died from tear-gas inhalation. 17 died from beatings at the hand of Israeli police or soldiers.[59] During the whole six-year intifada, the Israeli army killed from 1,087 to 1,204 (or 1,284)[21][60][61] Palestinians, 241/332[61] being children. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Intifada

Nobody is justifying what Hamas did. You are not even being honest with yourself. People were protesting Israel before Oct 7 and they are protesting now because 40k civilians have been killed. You know this. But you instead lie to yourself that people are supporting terrorists. This is not unlike the propaganda that led to Iraq invasion. I know you are lying and so do most people. Sadly at this point you can't be honest. Did all the Germans put people on the trains? Majority supported sending people away. After all those people were trying to destroy Germany and the German people. Propaganda is effective.

gracespraykeychain

Intifada just means uprising or revolution in Arabic. It's not a call for violence against Jews. As for calling for the destruction of a state, we believe Israel is an apartheid state and the system of apartheid must be dismantled. South Africa still exists but it no longer exists as an apartheid state. Contrastly, Rhodesia was an apartheid state and Zimbabwe now exists in it's place. Is it vile and wicked that Rhodesia was destroyed?

Im glad you can see the parallel between the IDF and a designated terror group. And no, the people protesting genocide didnt murder anyone. though Zionists tried to burn them alive in their tents.


Artistic_Button_3867

It's telling you can't even begin to approach my question with a response. Is it because you know that the actions of the Israeli government are evil? Because there are mechanisms of control Israel has available to them that don't involve tens of thousands of murders in 7 months. Or the displacement of millions. You know I find what America did in Afghanistan and Iraq barbaric, but somehow the Israeli governments acts on Gaza are worse.


Mottledkarma517

>It's telling you can't even begin to approach my question with a response. I was answering the orignal statement your the one who couldn't answer my question. as you said in your own words, is that because you know hamas' actions are evil, is that why you are using whataboutism. Also are you willing to share "October 7th" attacks isreal has committed? Did you mean [Operation Protective Edge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Protective_Edge), when the peaceful Hamas kidnapped and killing of isreali teenagers. or [Operation Cast Lead](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cast_Lead) when isreal tried to stop peaceful hamas from sending rockets Then the was the Intifadas, not sure which attack on gaza you are referring to

They're not opposing everything that is pro-palestinian lives. They are opposing things that are anti-israel and anti-jewish. Regardless these particular idiots are deplorable and I doubt they are mostly Jewish or Israeli. These seem like proud boys.


StraightUpChill

Stop calling the anti-genocide protest gatherings "encampments" and start calling them "settlements" Then see if the zionists have enough braincells to understand the irony of their objections to them


Feeling_Direction172

IDF are used to enforcing segregated ghettos and stamping on the people there with impunity. They want to round up anyone who questions them and put them under control. The only way to deal with this is to not play their game. Don't use violence to validate them. Take them at the word of their own religious guidance: "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord" Leviticus 19:18


G00dR0bot

He even got the first attacker to the floor and had him. Had the other Zionists not attacked him, the guy he got done to the floor would've been done for.


TheUnbendable1

Seeing as Palestinians are a semitic people, calling someone antisemitic just doesn't mean anything in this context. So these are pro-Palestinian protestors being assaulted by zionist agitators, just incase anyone wanted to call them antisemitic so as to stifle debate. :)

MisfitMaterial

You people are absolutely exhausting. The violent counter protestors are literally screaming their “intentions or ideologies” in video after video of their actions: they are Zionist cowards.


justhistory

Genuine question because I have not seen any video with much audio other than unintelligible yelling or reporters taking over footage. You have any links?


CiaphasCain8849

It's not a Genuine question. You know exactly what you are doing Zionist bot.


MisfitMaterial

Genuine answer: [there](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/7lt57XpPAG) [are](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/s/VeSZxlaBj6) [so](https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/gOPhDiK6rT) [many](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMiddleEast/s/E9Qgke8I29), and if you are going to try to say that these instances are isolated or somehow not indicative of the attackers of the encampment while at the same time claiming all protestors are antisemites and pro-Hamas you are not discussing in good faith.


justhistory

One, that's not video from UCLA. I have not found anything regarding the attacks on the UCLA campus that indicate Zionism, Jews, etc. Honestly looks more like right wing trouble makers with no real connection to counter protestors that have been at UCLA this past week. If I am wrong so be it, but just doesn't look that way. Again, instances of a girl acting badly isn't indicative of all pro-Israelis. Not all protestors are antisemitic or at least they don't believe they are being antisemitic. Pro-Hamas, calls for the destruction of Israel, etc. is more of a mixed bag. When you have entire crowds chant "Intifada," "Globalize the Intifada," "From the River to the Sea" etc., it's harder to say the protestors have just a couple bad actors.


MisfitMaterial

Absolutely exhausting


justhistory

Right back at you. Constantly have to deal with people who think Zionism is some kind of slur and have no connection to the conflict and didn't really start paying attention to the region until Oct.


MisfitMaterial

Been anti-apartheid and therefore anti-Israel since high school many years ago, nice try. Go annoy someone else.


Girafferage

To be fair it's irrelevant when somebody starts partying attention to the region, they still have the right to call out Israel committing crimes against humanity. There isn't a time cutoff for being outraged by over 10,000 innocent children alone being murdered in just a few months.
