79. Never thought I'd put so many people on ignore in one night.

Apr 2024

I realize people have their opinions. But I'm going to have to treat this subject on DU the same way I treat it in life. I have friends on both sides of this issue. I've heard them all out. Both sides tell me the same thing. "Get the facts," they say. I'm starting to wonder, "Which facts?"

No more Israel-Hamas threads. I'm tapping out. Yeah, I know, no one particularly cares, but at least I can refer to this post in the future to remind myself.

K&R. Was just going to post this. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2024 #1
I saw an interview with one of the student organizers Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2024 #2
We have to be careful about the videos online ExciteBike66 Apr 2024 #3
That was the indication this woman gave, Cuthbert Allgood Apr 2024 #36
They'd better be more vocal about that. Or separate themselves from agitators as much as they can. shrike3 Apr 2024 #6
Waiting for the DUers who will bemoan this as antisemitism, intheflow Apr 2024 #4
Most of us can differentiate between antisemitism and protesting the actions of a sovereign country. shrike3 Apr 2024 #7
Back in the day? intheflow Apr 2024 #8
I was locked out during the Great Hack of 2016. Read for a few years, then rejoined in 2020. shrike3 Apr 2024 #9
"How is "Go Back to Poland" not antisemitic?" -- this is an outside group, and not on campus obamanut2012 Apr 2024 #11
The fact that it's coming from people who don't go to the university doesn't make it okay. shrike3 Apr 2024 #19
We are outraged about it... ExciteBike66 Apr 2024 #37
Haven't seen much outrage here. Good to know it does exist, though. shrike3 Apr 2024 #38
I would bet money on the notion that everyone on this website thinks that statement is anti Semitic ExciteBike66 Apr 2024 #41
How about the fact that it's being said? Doesn't matter who said it. shrike3 Apr 2024 #42
If we were required to denounce every anti Semitic statement in the world ExciteBike66 Apr 2024 #43
Nazis in Florida not being called out is a defense for folks not calling out "Go Back to Poland?" shrike3 Apr 2024 #75
Lots of genocide in the world. Guess there are those who are picking and choosing, too. shrike3 Apr 2024 #77
Of course it is wrong to yell hateful anti-Semitic things at anyone. GumboYaYa Apr 2024 #56
One can kind of get upset about both? I can imagine more than a few folks are? shrike3 Apr 2024 #76
So the fact that protestors are being smeared is more important than antisemitic chants. shrike3 Apr 2024 #78
Ah, I voluntarily stepped down in 2016, so sorry that happened to you. intheflow Apr 2024 #22
Okay, that's fair. As I've said in other posts, one can differentiate. Between the actions of a sovereign nation and shrike3 Apr 2024 #26
So what if he/she joined up in 2020? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2024 #10

Look, if you're gonna refer to specific posts, intheflow Apr 2024 #97
What "2016 bannings"? Didn't happen. betsuni Apr 2024 #95
Yes it did. intheflow Apr 2024 #96
The usual way, though. There wasn't any blanket banning. People who refused to agree to the betsuni Apr 2024 #98
From what I've seen, a lot can't differentiate Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #15
I hear this a lot when antisemites meet with criticism of real antisemitism. Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #33
I will give your reply the answer it deserves Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #47
How can you possibly expect people to judge you fairly when you refuse to define Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #63
It goes the other way, too. Criticizing antisemitism is dismissed because, well, you know. shrike3 Apr 2024 #40
If one is going to make a charge of something as terrible as antisemitism Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #54
Where did I charge anyone with antisemitism? shrike3 Apr 2024 #74
Believable if one is credulous Sympthsical Apr 2024 #13

The president of Columbia University disagrees with these assessments. Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #12
In The Current RobinA Apr 2024 #14
That would include the instances highlighted in the OP, right? Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #23
Not according to her own students quoted here Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #16
According to her own students, does she not disagree with their assessments, or Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #21
Oh please Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #25
Are you saying that being a student at a college encampment makes you more informed and objective than Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #31
You can't even reply to what I wrote Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #45
Oh I am replying to what you wrote allright. Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #61
The President of the United States disagrees with these assessments Coventina Apr 2024 #17
What is your point? intheflow Apr 2024 #24
My point is that I feel Biden is more trustworthy than randos on Slate. n/t Coventina Apr 2024 #34
The President of Colombia University - and any University - is beholden to money coming in. haele Apr 2024 #91
I recently replied to a remarkably similar argument in this thread (post 61) Beastly Boy Apr 2024 #92
It is all well and good that these people see everything as all kumbaya. sarisataka Apr 2024 #27
Blanket statements are not well and good Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #29
So as long as at least one Jewish student. sarisataka Apr 2024 #32
Never said that of course Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #48
So all it takes is ONE student saying they feel safe sarisataka Apr 2024 #50
So no factual or reasoned response? Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #52
No reply to my question says more sarisataka Apr 2024 #53
Be glad to Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #55
No problem sarisataka Apr 2024 #58
Perhaps you are having dinner sarisataka Apr 2024 #60
Patiently waiting sarisataka Apr 2024 #87
Still waiting sarisataka Apr 2024 #88
I am beginning to doubt your sincereity sarisataka Apr 2024 #89
I guess you really aren't "glad to" do the courtesy sarisataka Apr 2024 #93

Well, this is going on. Patton French Apr 2024 #30
"What's REALLY going on in the Warsaw ghetto?" BannonsLiver Apr 2024 #35
Is that supposed to be an analogy? Doc Sportello Apr 2024 #49
Is that supposed to be some kind of cogent response? BannonsLiver Apr 2024 #81
Some are delighted with this story... Mike Nelson Apr 2024 #39
What's going on is a whole lot of students who pay about $90,000 a year for the privilege, are Vinca Apr 2024 #44
