I'm really not comfortable with the pressure on these college Prezs. Nor am I comfortable Silent Type Dec 2023 #32

I'm not really comfortable with Jewish college kids being threatened with murder. emulatorloo Dec 2023 #36

If that happened, they should be charged. Silent Type Dec 2023 #37

My answer to you is in post 9. Something to think about. emulatorloo Dec 2023 #38

I'm not siding with a GOPer trying to damage universities. If the Prezes said "kill Silent Type Dec 2023 #39

That's a bit of a strawman. No-one here has claimed the presidents said "kill Jewish people." emulatorloo Dec 2023 #66

"Antisemitic messages projected onto University of Pennsylvania buildings, president says" lapucelle Dec 2023 #41

Did you ever see me arguing that Eko Dec 2023 #42

I must have misunderstood what this meant: "I think its possible that this is not reality." lapucelle Dec 2023 #43

The part where I think it is not reality Eko Dec 2023 #44

They are chanting for genocide when they chant "From the river to the sea...", lapucelle Dec 2023 #47

Fine then. What did "I think its possible that this is not reality" mean? lapucelle Dec 2023 #46

I have no idea. Eko Dec 2023 #48

Any protestor chanting "From the river to the sea..." lapucelle Dec 2023 #52

Actually, they did say those words. lapucelle Dec 2023 #55

Somehow the word genocide is missing. Eko Dec 2023 #56

I told you Eko Dec 2023 #58

The contention is that calling for genocide only counts if the word "genocide" is used? lapucelle Dec 2023 #60

Yeah, words matter. Eko Dec 2023 #64

Everyone knows that words matter, but I think I see what's going on here. lapucelle Dec 2023 #67

Yes, an overly literal argument that can't or won't take dog whistles into account. emulatorloo Dec 2023 #68

"The final solution to the Jewish problem..." lapucelle Dec 2023 #69

Someone can call for genocide without saying that word. Eko Dec 2023 #73

So you're saying the phrase "the final solution" isn't genocide? egduj Dec 2023 #70

That was the Nazi plan to commit genocide. Eko Dec 2023 #72
