106. Rosa Parks was arrested, NOT KILLED---

Sat May 11, 2024, 02:30 AM

May 2024

Thousands of women and children in Gaza were not so fortunate....

So you're right, Rosa Parks should not be compared with the victims in Gaza,
since she thankfully survived the violation of her human rights...

Any protesters screaming 'death to America' or 'Genocide Joe', or engaging in any antisemitic words or actions are WRONG, but they are a tiny minority of those who are protesting against the crimes against humanity occurring in Gaza-- the vast majority of whom are sincere, and absolutely in the right!

It truly sickens me to see presumed Democratic liberals attempting to smear the majority of those who are protesting against mass murder in Gaza, with the actions of a misguided few...

You know, we had an FBI director during the civil rights movement, who was sure that Martin Luther King was a communist...
and that was one of the accusations against those who protested during the civil rights movement...

Yes, there's so much desperation to equate the two when they are nothing alike. BannonsLiver May 2024 #5

Yeah, 'nothing alike'. The civil rights movement wanted our citizens to have their rights, DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #102

It's actually very offending to compare the two jimfields33 May 2024 #51

I didn't consider the word "offended", but it sure seems to apply. nt yagotme May 2024 #54

But in Gaza, Palestinian civilians, women and children are treated as 'collateral damage' DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #104

Being used as human shields, and being killed by Hamas directly. yagotme May 2024 #116

Israel will buster bomb a whole block of kids & families womanofthehills May 2024 #149

Israel HAS given warnings before attacks. Hamas has not. yagotme May 2024 #150

It is now 'fashionable' to oppose death by bombing of thousands of women and children DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #105

"The protests are not about demonizing Jews" yagotme May 2024 #117

Whether intentional or not. It is now- attacking American Jews even kids. It is a bad scene and helps no one. Demsrule86 May 2024 #127

Excellent Point.. there's No comparison between Rosa Cha May 2024 #82

Rosa Parks was arrested, NOT KILLED--- DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #106

How about those shouting/posting signs and banners "Intifada". Are they wrong? yagotme May 2024 #118

The Gaza protests ARE for 'inclusion'--- inclusion with the LIVING, DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #103

Then they need to go protest the Hamas government. In Gaza. yagotme May 2024 #119

No way are they are the same. No way at all. debm55 May 2024 #2

Help me out here. RandySF May 2024 #3

Glad to help. H2O Man May 2024 #6

You nailed it malaise May 2024 #112

Yeah!... Think. Again. May 2024 #8

Would you equate denying Jewish students entry to campus facilities with Ms. Park's not getting out of her seat? RandySF May 2024 #11

First of all... Think. Again. May 2024 #12

They also denied Jewish students access to certain areas. yagotme May 2024 #25

Rosa Parks did not deny anyone a seat Mossfern May 2024 #30

I know.. Shocking. Cha May 2024 #77

If refusing to vacate a seat so other (white) passengers could use it... Think. Again. May 2024 #87

As a passenger she took up ONE seat. Dr. Strange May 2024 #98

She didn't deny anyone a seat...I suggest you check google. She merely refused to give up her seat. Demsrule86 May 2024 #85

If refusing to vacate a seat so other (white) passengers could use it... Think. Again. May 2024 #88

If you can't see the diference, I can't help you. And that was an Amercan protest for our civil rights. Demsrule86 May 2024 #120

I didn't ask for your help. Think. Again. May 2024 #122

You really want to die on this hill? It is OK to call little kids baby killers at an American school. That is OK? Demsrule86 May 2024 #125

You're the one who can't seem to move on. Think. Again. May 2024 #126

Yeah, she denied a seat to all those white guys, and threatened and assaulted them when they tried yagotme May 2024 #40

Did you happen to see... Think. Again. May 2024 #41

Yes, I did. yagotme May 2024 #44

If refusing to vacate a seat so other (white) passengers could use it... Think. Again. May 2024 #50

The seat she was required to "give up" was in the "black" section. yagotme May 2024 #53

I rest my case. Think. Again. May 2024 #55

So, Rosa Parks is similar to terrorist-supporting, Jew-hating individuals denying Jews access yagotme May 2024 #56

I wasn't comparing Ms. Parks to the provocatuers. Think. Again. May 2024 #70

From your post #12: yagotme May 2024 #114

And as is clear in my post... Think. Again. May 2024 #121

You initially compared her to the protestors. yagotme May 2024 #128

You don't understand how discussions work, do you? Think. Again. May 2024 #130

Perfectly. yagotme May 2024 #132

Instigators, provocateurs, chaos agents, etc... Think. Again. May 2024 #138

Yes, they are, when they are imbedded with the protestors. yagotme May 2024 #139

They are not protesters. Think. Again. May 2024 #141

YOU say that. yagotme May 2024 #142

Protesters are the people who are protesting... Think. Again. May 2024 #143

The people that are there to not protest are protesting to cover the fact that they are not there to not protest. yagotme May 2024 #144

And they are not protesters. Think. Again. May 2024 #145

While they are protesting. nt yagotme May 2024 #146

Protesters protest, people faking protesting are not protesters. Think. Again. May 2024 #147

Stop? You're making the assertion that individuals standing with protestors, yagotme May 2024 #148

It is not the same-now if she stood by door and wouldn't LET white men in at all...that is what we have here. And these Demsrule86 May 2024 #123

I respect your anti-first amendment position... Think. Again. May 2024 #124

That is fine. I don't want to see right wing assholes emboldened by antisemitic bullshit from these protests. Demsrule86 May 2024 #129

Thank you. nevergiveup May 2024 #38

Anti war protests were because the US was involved in the war Mossfern May 2024 #32

Depends on how H2O Man May 2024 #49

And what did they really accomplish? Nixone was elected twice. The war continued. Demsrule86 May 2024 #86

The direct involvement by US troops would have continued for a lot longer, DemocraticPatriot May 2024 #107

We send huge sums of money and weapons to Israel Sky Jewels May 2024 #101

Again, not the same. Mossfern May 2024 #110

Ludicrous comparisons. It just shows the desperation. Nixie May 2024 #7

Agree with you Nixie. Many of the marchers died or were badly beaten for equal rights. This right now is like cosplay. debm55 May 2024 #28

Rec'd! Mossfern May 2024 #33

Thx, Deb, and you nailed it with "how dare they" compare Nixie May 2024 #95

And a lot of Jews marched for egual rights beside their African American brothers and sisters. And some died for that debm55 May 2024 #64
