It's why I don't get exercised about the campus protests. There are serious people in our government, doing serious work to resolve the current M.E. conflict. Those folks will have way more impact in resolving the crisis than some college protesters.

These protests smack of classic Roger Stone rat-fuckery. The "tell" is in how they are being exploited to the benefit of the nazi Retrumplicans.

They news reports are attempting to make those protests the next migrant caravan.

by the Inquisition, most famously in Spain but it was happening in several Catholic nations after the Muslims were kicked out of Spain. It wasn't just "witches" they were torturing and killing in the late Middle Ages in their sick efforts to "convert" people to Catholicism.

Though I wouldn't be surprised that Bernie does.

Most of the Greens and Socialists I've known are generally humanitarians. I'm pretty sure that many of them are now protesting against the slaughter in Gaza. So are many Democrats, Independents, and others. Even Nancy Pelosi wants to end supply arms to Israel. I rather doubt that she and the other progressive Democrats doing the same are "Putin Puppets" or pro-Hamas.
