WEEK 30: Yesterday, Harvard suspended the entire Palestine Solidarity Committee. This morning, students are setting up a peace camp.
Edit: 10 minutes later ...
@fkamiah17 and Biden is still calling them anti-Semitic. The students at Berkeley are digging in hard and calling him out. If many of these students across all US campuses give the finger to Biden at the election he is in trouble.
@Lassielmr He should be worried - the unis with the strongest movements are all in blue states. And there's a lot of chatter about Jill Stein going on on the dark side, specially since Bernie took his 30 pieces of silver.
@fkamiah17@Lassielmr Bernie taking 30 pieces of silver? He was one of only two liberal Senators to vote against the weapons package to Israel. Sanders also was the author of the 8 Senator public letter to Biden which notified him of their belief that arms transfers to Israel were illegal under the laws being used for the transfers due to Israel blocking US aid. Sanders has been consistent in publicly advocating against further arms transfers.
@fkamiah17@Lassielmr What do you want him to say/do? He has been one of the most consistent and outspoken voices in congress against arms transfers to Israel. This is him this week:
@Infoseepage@Lassielmr The statement is great, but he undermines it himself in the second segment you've posted. He moves from "No more money for Netanyahu's war machine" to "no unfettered military aid". Those two things aren't the same.
@fkamiah17@Lassielmr He'd impose some pretty serious fetters and again, he's trying to pass something which might pass. Something like "anti-missile/iron dome replenishment, but no more mk84's" is a lot more politically tenable than some broad end of all support for Israel. You've also got major Democratic figures publicly calling for Netanyahu to resign.
@Infoseepage@Lassielmr Fair enough. Clearly you've paid a huge amount more attention to it than I have (I'm in the UK). I haven't seen any Dems calling for BN's resignation; do you mean politicians, or public figures who vote blue?
@fkamiah17 Yes. That's what it was like a couple hours ago.Things were quieter 30 minutes ago. The watermelon was elsewhere.
[edit: my comment was only meant to say that what appears as commotion / people being grabbed in your first photo wasn't happening when I went through]
@debivort Euch. Why the hell are you bothering to nit pick?
That video was from the campus. When I made the original post, it was from footage posted about an hour beforehand.
Go away, reply guy.
