The over reaction by American Police to protests on Campus against Israel’s ethnic cleansing war crimes tells you everything about how the land of free speech really operates…
Here is a video clip of “free speech on college campuses” in Texas right now.
These last few years we’ve had to put up with the Right screeching about “free speech” and “cancel culture”.
All of it was a load of bullshit, just as we said it was. pic.twitter.com/08u27FWcvH https://t.co/dUXqeB4EAe

…Israel has literally bombed every single University in Gaza, yet the moral panic is crushing any protest on Campus that pricks the conscience of Pro-Israel students?
How dare those pro-Israel students be made to confront the obscenity of their Government’s ethnic cleansing war crimes!
This hilariously has been the American response…
…I know right?
They built a wall.
I’d be laughing if I wasn’t crying so much.
There is a vast world of difference between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism.
If you are attacking Jewish students for being Jewish, you have no place in our movement, but if you are protesting the criminal over reaction by Israel to October 7th and their brutal Occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, then step on up.
America is enabling Israel’s war crimes with their Military Budget, the youth of America acting to protest against that hypocrisy, to protest against the brutal Occupation and to protest against Israel’s current ethnic cleansing war crime is evidence that America is redeemable and does have a conscience.
Netanyahu’s entire political career has been to provoke Palestinian violence, respond brutally to that violence and then politically harvest the fear this dynamic creates. He has to keep escalating to prolong the conflict so as to avoid any accountability.
The invasion of Rafah must be the red line the West draws against his regime and the brutal occupation of the Palestinians.
I stand with the young people who have the courage to resist this ethic cleansing war crime.

The US: We are for the 2 state solution and the violence must end.
The US: 17 billion in military aid for Israel, 1 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza. The whole fucking world is backwards.
And to add to the backward completion principal, the US recently vetoed Palestine’s chance for statehood

The pictures of the utter devastation of Gaza, the exhumation of hastily buried bodies from mass graves and the total despair of the Palestinian people should be played on loop every day. The brutality of the Israeli government and of its army rank high among anything that has been seen in living memory. Shame on Israel and its supporters.
It’s good to see the police are dealing with these left wing anti-Israel protesters. The police need to be more forceful and make better use of their BATONS to remove these thugs from American campuses.
Yes there’s been little or no mention of the violent threats made ( “October 7 x 10 000”) by some of the protestors or their outright support for Hamas a designated terrorist group.
All sorts of craziness and some a Jewish students made to fear for their own safety and stay home.
The Gaza situation is awful but there are so many ironies to rich protected students using their free speech rights to overstep in to violent hate speech to support a Hamas regime that does not allow free speech or womens rights or gay rights.
On the button Kcc the hypocrisy is sickening, left using naive youth to advance their agenda.
I guess you were right behind the cops bashing and setting dogs on the students protesting the Vietnam war as well Bob. Because we all know that was a just war fought by the most rightous army in the world. Incredible that Archie Bunker types still exist.
You must be f’ing joking! How can you compare verbal threats to the actual killing of shitloads of women and children. Don’t try and make out like idiots are the majority of people who have enough common decency to put out that Netanyahu and the IDF have no justification for what they doing.
It’s a little more than verbal threats. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13350401/Moroccan-asylum-seeker-admits-stabbing-pensioner-death-random-revenge-Israel-Hamas-conflict-emerges-police-warned-carrying-knife-making-threats-just-days-killing.html
Gee there’s a group of people in the world with no free speech, no woman’s rights, no gay rights.
Keep calm and bomb them back to the stone age, kill all there children, take their land, oil and gas.
Carry on with the racial, ethnic, gender, religous tolerance.
I’ll caution Israeli apologists again. The greater the military aid. The greater the fiscal recovery required. Isreal has 1 maybe 2 more generations of occupation left in it then the Isreali economy becomes redundant for all practical uses.
Many of these “thugs” are in fact Jewish students . The organisers even arranged a separate space amongst the protest for them to celebrate passover .
Protesting genocide, protesting war, protesting our government’s complicity in both. Protests, met by crackdowns, or overreactions by police, probably dictated to by government. It all speaks to the rottenness of today’s political system. The people want ‘this, government wants ‘that’, government cracks down upon anyone getting in the way of what government wants. The world is rotten. Only by waking up to this reality will we ever hope to change this.
Zionism is anti-Semitism.
Let me repeat that;
ZIONISM IS ANTI-SEMITISM!
At Barnard, Jewish students members of ‘Jewish Voices For Peace’ one of the organisations banned from campus, were among those students who were arrested and evicted from their student accommodation on 15 minutes to clear out.
All around the world Jewish intellectuals and peace activists are being targeted and hounded.

Germany: State bank freezes account of Jewish peace activist group
By Pauline Ertel
Published date: 28 March 2024 17:54 GMT
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/german-jewish-voice-peace-bank-account-blocked-berlin-bank
…”In 2024, Jewish money is once again being confiscated by a German bank: Berliner Sparkasse freezes Jewish Voice account,” Jewish Voice said in a statement on its social media platforms….
….”As a public corporation, the bank is bound by public law and may therefore not arbitrarily freeze bank accounts without providing an explanation, which it did not,” Jewish Voice said in its statement.
The organisation hired a lawyer who has cofirmed that the blocking of the account is illegal and constitutes a breach of contract, Hoban said….
….The organisation said the move comes amid backlash faced by the scheduled Palestine Congress, a three-day conference set to take place in April in Berlin. The event is financed by ticket sales and donations for which Jewish Voice has offered the use of its account.
“By blocking our account, the state wants to deprive the congress of its funding,” Hoban, who is set to be a keynote speaker at the event, told MEE….
(The last time a German bank seized Jewish bank accounts was during the Holocaust.)
Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Anti-Zionism
by A Spektorowski · 2024

Zionism is anti-Semitism. More than a decade ago, in 2007, the Independent Jewish Voices group, launched by Harold Pinter, Mark Leigh, Stephen Fry, Zoe …
Zionism is anti-Semitism,
Maybe this is why every single commenter on this site, who make comments in support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, when asked if they are Zionists, refuse to answer the question, as well as being Islamophobes they don’t want to be seen as also being anti-Semites
“when the Arab-Islamic Empire and Christendom coexisted peacefully for many centuries”.
Chortle.
Ann, all Hamas defenders evoke a chortle…along with profound disgust.
Are you a Zionist Gaby?
Ann E has such a long and ‘on the record of teelling blatant and feeble lies here at TDB that she has zero credibility and she should not be taken seriously over anything she posts ,,, her contempt for the truth has earned herself the obligation to treat her with contempt as a poster. ,,, and I’ve bookmarked the worst of her own childish feeble posts to 100% back this up ,,,
As for gaby,, he howled about the 40 beheaded babiess fiction,,, he bayed and slobbered for blood,,,
and trans-gaby has been celebrating the ‘justified’ (by lies that he pushes), of Palestinian baby’s, children, women, the elderly, the sick and other civilians ,,, being both butchered and deliberately. starved by Israel.
gaby is like a rancid piece of maggot infested rotting meat that can speak ,,, and this offensive blob of filth that gaby represents is claiming that normal healthy humans objecting to Israels collective punishment mass murder war crimes ,,,, disgust him.
**************************
This is what gaby and Ann E celebrate and others excuse or minimise …
Israel shredding and blowing to bits innocent people and family’s ,,,” just like that” https://youtu.be/lGxKiOxg9a8?list=LL&t=2682 ,,, with no accountability let alone justice …
“Ahmed Alnaouq never imagined an Israeli airstrike would hit his family home in South Gaza because Israel had been asking people to evacuate to the area ( over 40% of civilians killed by Israel are in Israeli designated safe zones).
Alnaouq said his father, two brothers, three sisters, and 14 nieces and nephews ( all under the age of 13) were killed on October 22nd. The only two who survived were his sister-in-law and nephew. His brother, who was next to them on the same bed, was killed.
“They were peaceful people who just wanted to live in peace, and wanted to have a good life,” https://www.npr.org/2023/12/06/1217368171/gazan-journalist-says-over-20-members-of-his-family-were-killed-in-airstrike
… This is part of what students and people who have regard for hu manity are protesting against…
Those who claim otherwise and claim Hama’s/terrorist supporters are telling the latest lies ,,,, from a history of telling them — ‘Deluge: Gaza and Israel from Crisis to Cataclysm,’ https://youtu.be/lGxKiOxg9a8?list=LL&t=1943
Ohhhhhhhh … bookmarked links eh …. did you get the ones from the web archive after this site was … how do I put this … cleaned up a little and the anti-Israel toxic hate speech removed?
Shame you hypocrites who proclaim regard for humanity can’t protest against the Islamist slaughter of Black Christians in Africa or the faith cleansing of of Christians from Palestine. Or aren’t they “proper” Palestinians?
Are you a Zionist, Ann E?
It’s a simple question that none of the anonymous pro-Israel trolls will answer.
Why is that?
Shame?
When even anonymous trolls are embarrassed to admit to being Zionists tells us something.
You are obviously confusing Christendom with Catholicism, I guess that explains your incoherent thinking.
It was a quote from the linked Spektorowski article Bonnie. But I agree that it’s very incoherent thinking. Perhaps B Awakesky or Mohammed Khan could tell us about those centuries of peaceful co-existence (snigger)
Mass murder aside, free speech, resistance, truth telling and peaceful protest are fundamental to university principles. Establishment Zionists are losing their shit because they know they are in trouble here.
Glad to see opposition to the regime that rules over America rising in America. There has always been a small minority of people born in America (the proverbial pigsty) who are moral human beings (not American pigs). Let’s hope their action against the regime that rules over them escalates.
Israel will stop when the Hamas threat has been resolved…
Not a moment sooner.
Hamas should not have started something they couldn’t finish.
The same could be said for Israel…
In that case they’ll never be able to stop. Hamas has won. They’ve disrupted Israeli diplomacy, destroyed Israel’s reputation, and Israel has ensured the next generation of Hamas by its idiotic treatment of civilians in Gaza.
Are you saying Hamas has achieved their goal of getting Israel to kill a bunch of civilians and debase themselves?
Because even if you are correct – and that will depend on how completely hamas can be dismantled- if Hamas “win” then you are celebrating their deliberate sacrifice of civilians, Israeli but also massively Palestinian.
This is no black and white goodies and baddies conflict like the kids at uni or the activists might think.
It is black and white and it aint ‘complex’ as Zionists maintain. A people came in and stole another people’s land.
1: The longer innocent Gazans Israel kills, especially children, the more Hamas symophizers they will create who may be radicalized to take up arms in hopes of revenge against the regime who killed their loved ones.
2: How do you explain the treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank where Hamas doesn’t exists
Palestinian Islamic Jihad does though.
You mean they won’t stop until they have conveniently killed off generations. Much easier to steal land from dead people.
One should always blame slaves for revolting. They should know their place, and accept they are in permanent thralldom of the state of Israel.
Otherwise, how would tears cascade down the Wilberforce Monument.
“The kids are alright!”
Just encountered Damien Grant on Twitter. Why would he need to be mental about Israel when he’s entirely mental about climate change? Indictment.
Damien stands with Israel but does he stand for the right to protest the slaughter of innocents?
Columbia University suspended Ilhan Omar’s daughter literally a day after she grilled their president in a congressional hearing…
Expecting the NZ government to issue sanctions against the oppressive US regime for their crackdown on these peaceful protests.
Now now, that’s only for nations whose regimes aren’t also handpuppets of zionism like NZ and the US.
You want sick
How about it’s all kept rolling on to keep one corrupt Prime Minister out of jail.
