In reply to the discussion: Pushing the idea that agitators led protesters into bad behavior is absurd [View all]maxsolomon
(39,442 posts)53. Kushner is a jagoff, but that's not really what his comments were about.
Gazas waterfront property, it could be very valuable, if people would focus on building up livelihoods. If you think about all the money thats gone into this tunnel network and into all the munitions, if that would have gone into education or innovation, what could have been done?
That's saying it could have been Gazans that developed their waterfront; instead, Hamas wasted millions building tunnels - though much of that's directly from Iran's oil wealth.
Then he said that Gazans should be moved temporarily to the Negev desert so the IDF and Hamas can fight it out in Rafah.
Which is stupid, sure. But Israel's now saying to move them to Al-Mawasi on the Gaza Waterfront - if you look at an aerial view you'll see much of Gaza's agriculture is centered there. Greenhouses, fields.

Cute. You honestly feel violence/destruction of your own campus is justified?

I agree. Civil rights protests were so righteous. I'm in awe of those who stood up in them.

Bloc not watch, and they are not really an organization, more of a mode of protest.

I don't care if non students were there. The students were adults and didn't need to follow them.

You've lost the narrative. It is very important to express outrage over the outside agitators.

Actually, if the police are at a protest because of civil disobedience, for acts beyond free speech...

She was filmed occupying Hamilton Hall with them. Then she ducked out before everyone was arrested.

Remember the guy dressed all in black, masked, who smashed store windows during Black Lives Matter peaceful protests?

If you want to protest, but you are not a student, where do you end up?
