Sounds like tu is going to join the protest circus per Newsmax.

Absolutely disgusting. Hamas would just as soon rape and murder them as look at them. These little thugs are supporting terrorism and being anti-Semitic.

How gross to come to an American university and support a terrorist organization and country. I am truly disgusted.

Hopefully the A&M one eas just be a very small group of students and they will kept it peaceful but it's just gross.

It's one thing to be proud of the country that you are from but when you are actively supporting terrorism, it is not OK.

But they're not fighting for the freedom of Palestine. They're fighting for the elimination of Israel and supporting a literal terrorist organization that rapes and murders people.

🚨Protest Alert🚨
Come show your support for Palestine in Rudder Plaza today from 4-7pm! We will be making posters starting at four, then marching across campus. We must show A&M that we are active, we will not be ignored, and we will fight for the freedom of Palestine! #TAMU pic.twitter.com/k97RO7oKzN

Apparently there was one yesterday..

Equal to KKK marching through campus. Any feedback on size or response?

Chalk Asst Prof is probably leaving his stupid marks.

I imagine the Palestinians would love for these guys to come fight for their cause, they sure won't. . Why not go and find yourself, protestors? Just like joining French Foreign Legion, heck Hemingway went and fought in Spain. Do it, go !! Find out! Be a part of it right there !! Something to tell your kids about!

this is dumb. especially when i can say the same thing right back at you about fighting for Israel.

everyone has a right to an opinion on this issue. and the prevailing opinion on the pro-Palestine side is a ceasefire and end to the violence. so no, it's not like a WW2 situation where people are called to go fight for their country. it's people wanting no more bloodshed. and having those beliefs doesn't mean we're called to go fight for Hamas, let alone immigrate to a Palestinian territory.

I would be more likely to listen to the protesters if they started out condemning Hamas as doing more to hurt Palestinians than the Jews in Israel. If they acknowledged that the other Muslim neighboring countries will not allow them to emigrate into their countries.

I said this on the tu thread.

They were talking about this on Newsmax. A correspondent on there said this isn't happening at Texas A&M.

It will be though. With all the outside money pouring into these "protests" it will happen.

A&M regents need to be taking steps RIGHT NOW to make sure this doesn't happen. And when they fail to do that there needs to be a major student backlash against anti-Israel/anti-American protests at our university.

So with the DOD bucks and personnel at A&M its ok to have supporters of a known terrorist organization hostile to the US and its allies roaming the campus?

---

Yep. Pretty much exactly the point of the 1A. Let the dozen idiots declare themselves to the world.

---

This is the way.

If they get violent or obstruct...then remove.

Otherwise let idiots be idiots.

Except there was a ceasefire until October 7 when Palestinians brutally slaughtered innocent Israelis. Oh, and as history has shown, they will do it again the very next chance they get. Nobody wants war and the death of innocents, but when a nation has the duty to protect its citizenry against terrorism, sometimes war is necessary in the short term. Israel has an obligation to destroy Hamas because of the direct actions of Hamas.

Justify it all you want, but calling for a ceasefire now and ignoring ALL of the relevant history prior to Israel's response indicates one of two things: complete idiocy or intentional support of terrorists.

I have seen multiple posters on this forum directly and clearly call for murdering innocents. So that's not true. And Israel certainly has the right to defend itself, but that also doesn't make them above criticism.

I'm not really offering my personal opinion in this thread. I was just refuting a dumb point made about pro-Palestinian protesters. And my main overall point is 99.9% of these protests are protected under the First Amendment.

Yawn. 57% of Palestinians voted for Hamas very recently. The rest largely voted for only moderately less radical organizations that aren't actually officially terrorists. Palestinians need to earn respect before they receive it after being a ceaseless cause of destabilizing violence and terrorism in that region for decades. I have sympathy for the individuals caught up in the violence there, but it is tempered by the fact that the culture there is currently built around violence, bigotry, and terrorism.

Protest was on April 23rd at Rudder, and guess who else is at Rudder, Beto on April 26th. Coincidence?
