1. So apropos

2. Or, Tom Tomorrow could walk across campus

to view the protests while wearing a yarmulke.

7. Thank you, that was very informative.

8. What a crock calling people who object to anti Jewish slogans "right wingers"

who want to shut down education.

Sounds liked that guy is a member of Jewish Voice for Peace. They are aligned with the BDS movement, which includes a coalition of Palestinians, Jews, and liberal Christian churches. Anyone can criticize Isrsel without being anti-Semitic. I do it myself.

However, his message conflicts with videos of anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students. Here is a Jewish student who did wear his yarmulke on campus and is not part of the BDS movement. BTW, the Palestinian student in this video speaks about peace and violence against innocent people in Gaza, but never says anything about the Hamas attack being violence against civilians and an obstacle to peace.

10. some can't handle it when facts don't fit the narrative they're trying to push.

As they try to demonize groups they don't like.

4. Obviously he reads DU.

5. I especially liked the 4th panel

"remember, a protest movement should be entirely defined by its most extreme fringe" and "then every protester everywhere is discredited and should be ignored."

I see a fair amount of that here. Select outrageous comments made by a few protesters and then use that to attack all the protesters.

9. Just a few bad apples among the protesters.

Is that the same as "a few bad apples" among militaristic cops?

11. You're trying too hard

[MarineCombatEngineer]

15. And you're not?

12. You are proving the OP right

13. I have seen the third panel pushed here

when we want the protesters to be right wing stooges. Although then it is Putin who bought the tents...

6. Oh thank you!

I was reading the calls for punishment here and was totally appalled....but not surprised by who was calling for it....

Goddess Bless the kids - they're alright!
