Hey, what happened to all the Gaza protesters?

[PeaceWave]

I haven't seen a bunch of unruly college kids and malcontents disappear this fast since hearing "Everyone get out! The cops are here!" back in the day at some party in the dorms.

Seriously, where the eff did these people (and their tents) all go? Is this a group we'll only hear from again come the next election? And, what will be the divisive "cause" they're fighting for then?

[Ocelot II]

1. Leopards.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Great question.

Either 1 of 2 things.

(1) They stopped getting paid...or

(2) What's the point now, they were 20 somethings: naive about how these protests were helping the Trump campaign.? Trump is aligned with Bibi - things will get a whole lot worse for the remaining Gazan's. Jared has got a plan to rebuild the Gaza coastline with luxury condos.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. Isn't it remarkable? So mysterious! It's almost like they allowed themselves to be used

as human shields.

[Sugarcoated]

4. The one bright spot

They're going to find out from their fucking around. Enjoy!

[Arazi]

5. Unfortunately Palestinians are the ones about to find out

They’re going to be removed. By force (and worse).

Those protesters are complicit in causing the upcoming ethnic cleansing. We’ll have to come up with a snappy nickname for them like they did with “Genocide Joe” or “Killer Kamala”

[newdeal2]

6. I'm worried about the folks going to Gitmo

If they’re being honest with themselves, even the protestors know Kamala would have never done that.

[live love laugh]

21. Guess what? Not just immigrants are going to Gitmo.

Many Trump voters or people they know will be there too.

First they came for the immigrants …

[whathehell]

22. How are college protesters

" complicit" in some "upcoming ethnic cleansing"?

As most of the world agrees, Netanyahu and his ethnic cleansers are fully responsibilty for the current genocide in Gaza, and likely will be for any that follow.

[brush]

30. Good points. warmonger Netanyahu and trump's SIL are already...

drawing up plans for seaside villas in Gaza once the rubble is cleared and the Gazans disposed of in the second Nakba.

[Efilroft Sul]

42. I call them Hamasholes

[Beastly Boy]

7. The US election is over. Trump won. They graduated from useful idiots to useless idiots.

Not much demand for useless idiots.

[TommyT139]

8. The world caught up with them.

In realizing that American tax dollars were being given to Israel against laws put in place to curtail war crimes abd genocide.

Unfortunately the Trump administration is using the past unrest in college campuses to continue its takeover of universities.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

9. Some are getting banned from campus. Some are still protesting. Some foreign protestors are getting deported.

[Prairie Gates]

10. Are you asking why there are no longer college campus encampments?

where the eff did these people (and their tents) all go?

That one's easy to answer. Universities broke up the encampments last Spring. Most universities that had encampments and many that didn't then instituted strict rules barring encampments and hired shit tons of extra security to enforce those rules.

Individual days of protest have continued into the new school year, but most universities have successfully barred any new encampments, while the expulsion policies make even starting an encampment extremely difficult.

That's the serious answer to you presumably hyperbolic question.

24. Very good.

Thank you for this.

[LoisB]

11. e-Loon stopped paying them?

[ShazamIam]

13. Yes the Palestine protestors were astroturfed to peel away the youth vote from Kamala never mind that Trump had said to

just clean them all out, get rid of them. I have a relative at a UC campus and she said most of the "protestors," were not students. I don't think many young U.S. people even know who the Palestinians are nor their history in Israel.

[LoisB]

14. I agree.

[womanofthehills]

18. The young saw shredded & dead babys on social media

Every day for a year plus thousands of little Gaza kids without legs and arms - they saw genocide in real time day after day after day. Shit, yesterday a 2 yr old girl was shot in the head.

According to YouGov poll last week - 19 million Dems who voted in 2020 stayed home in 2024. Main readon given to pollsters - Gaza genocide.

[LeftInTX]

31. Why did they quit protesting as soon as Trump won!

The carnage didn't stop after he won! They were paid to get Trump elected. It wouldn't matter if they saw puppy videos instead. And BTW, many of those videos are the same thing over and over.....They are shown that way to elicit a response.

Abandon Harris
@Abandonbiden24
Had the Democrats won the 2024 election, the genocide would have raged on until every last Palestinian in Gaza was wiped out. But the Muslim-American community rose up and, despite relentless pressure and smear campaigns for abandoning the Democrats, we stood our ground and held the line.

We crushed the Democratic Party in every single swing state, delivering a humiliating 1.5% defeat to the Harris-Walz ticket. Genocide was not just “one issue among many”—it was THE defining issue of the 2024 election. And because of our unwavering stand, they lost. Our efforts worked.

This is a damning indictment of the Democratic Party, its voters, its supporters, and its shameless mouthpieces—especially the cowardly few within our own Muslim community who bent over backward to hand Kamala Harris our vote. You failed. Your betrayal is burned into history, and we will never forget it.

49. It was more important to "teach Democrats a lesson"

They imagined Republicans coming to them hat in hand after they flexed their political power.

Unfortunately for them they are finding they are puppets who refused to see the strings. Now that the show is over, they are being disposed of, they were simply short term props.

[brush]

26. Haven't you heard, warmonger Netanyahu finally agreed to cease fire negotiations...

Last edited Sat Feb 1, 2025, 04:13 AM - Edit history (1)

without a last minute spate of bomb strikes to scuttle the deal. There's actually a halt to the bombings/killings in Gaza, hostage releases and prisoner exchanges are happening.

Finally.

That's what happened to the protestors. Now Bibi, trump and Jared Kushner can draw up their plans for seaside villas in Gaza. After the rubble and Gazans are cleared out of course.

[Hitorque]

27. That's my question as well

[artemisia1]

28. I'll take "malcontents" who are not okay with mass murder over those who are any day of the week. /nt

[iemanja]

29. Did you forget there was a ceasefire?

That is what they wanted.

It wasn't the protestors that damaged the Democratics politically; it was the policy. Do you actually think people would forget they had entire families murdered if they hadn't seen protestors?

[LeftInTX]

32. They stopped protesting well before the ceasefire. They stopped protesting on Nov 6th!

[iemanja]

41. Give me a break

The protests have been intermittent. They did not protest all the way up to Nov. 6 and then suddenly stop.

[iemanja]

44. There have been protests in NY over the past two weeks

And of course Celerity listed dozens of protests since the election. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=19972202 Your entire hypothesis has been proven false.

Just because something isn't on your TV doesn't mean it's not happening.

[betsuni]

33. So they refused to believe the Biden administration had been working on a ceasefire all along

because they'd gullibly swallowed whatever they were spoon-fed about Democrats being warmongers but believed Trump, what a peacemaker (same as Obama-drones-Obama-drones-dead children until Trump was elected and the subject disappeared immediately forever). And then when Biden or Harris talked about ceasefire the "protesters" were all, but but but but the weapons! The U.S. is sending weapons! And now? They don't care, Trump can hand over endless weapons, because but but but but that's different.

Where's Trumps cute little nickname?

[Hekate]

34. No cute nickname for trump; they'll be much too busy wondering why their faces...

…are being eaten by leopards.

What? Nobody remembered the utter chaos at US airports the last time trump was around to “ban Muslims” ?

[LeftInTX]

35. Nahh..they're too busy blaming Biden for Tik Tok....

Dropsite News: “Operation Wrath of Zion" Aims to Dox and Deport Pro-Palestinian Protestors in New York City

Steered by a "right-wing Zionist" organization, the campaign is using facial-recognition technology to intimidate and out activists demonstrating against Israel

This week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to cancel the visas of college students who protest in support of Palestine, opening the path to their deportation. A small company called Stellar Defense & Cyber Intelligence is ready to help by deploying AI technology to identify anonymous, masked pro-Palestinian protestors, through a campaign it refers to as “Operation Wrath of Zion.”

Stellar is the maker of NesherAI, a bespoke facial-recognition tool which it claims is capable of deanonymizing pro-Palestinian protestors. The name “Nesher” is Hebrew for “eagle,” the symbol for both NesherAI and the Terror Watch Agency, the brand under which it operates. Their slogan on social media is, “The Eagle listens, The Eagle watches, The Eagle knows.”

Stellar's CEO is “Eliyahu” Hawila, who garnered headlines several years ago when he faced allegations of deceiving the New York ultra-Orthodox Jewish community by posing as a member despite being a Lebanese Muslim—a story he now disputes.

https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/israel-palestine-dox-new-york-facial-recognition-ai

Thom Hartmann discussed this on his program, which is how I heard about it.
