It’s funny because according to Wikipedia Bank Leumi was formed by Zionists specifically to aid in the financing of Zionist projects. It has been involved in controversies in the US, eg aiding clients with tax evasion.

It would be strange if Hamas had lots of shares in it.

Would be interesting to see who sold those shares.

It doesn’t work like that. If the shares are traded publicly - they must be if the share price is quoted - anyone can buy them at any time. Or buy options on them. Which is the mechanism for shorting.

If Hamas wanted to make money, and it looks like they did, why wouldn’t they buy contracts for shares in a bank that was going to take a hit on news of attack on Israel?

‘Zionist’ is frequently used as code. For ‘Jews’. I hope that’s not the case with you.

We’ll see. Whoever sold those shares has questions to answer.

Wikipedia refers to it as a Zionist bank. What’s the problem with me saying that?

Or specifically “formed by members of the Zionist movement”

Apparently the traders involved have potential links to Hamas. So lets see what an investigation uncovers. After all if anyone knew the pogrom and a conflict was coming Hamas or Iran are the first in line. Also middle eastern trading using a middle eastern organisation isn't unusual in the least.

She's the one who found it at a bus stop and didn't understand what it meant?

stomachameleon · 06/12/2023 00:03

@etmoiandme the hate is real.

etmoiandme · 06/12/2023 00:05

@stomachameleon It's the side order of smugness that's particularly jaw dropping too

I was just coming to post this

The speaker is bloody awsome

Yep they do look very smug

Ultimately they know they can get away with backing students that commit harassment and threaten abuse.

Crazy vile world of privilege they inhabit

“Potential links”

No one knows yet who it was.

Whoaaaa that is blatant. I shouldn’t be shockable by now that is something else.

@etmoiandme I've just seen this. So these are the US academic institutions that teach the supposedly brightest and best. They cannot even describe calling for Jewish genocide as misconduct.
Something has gone badly wrong here.

Definitely I mean the question was not even is calling for the Genocide of Israel or Israelis wrong (which would have been bad enough)

The speaker asked if calling for the Genocide of Jewish People wrong/bullying on campus

I now have a girl crush on the speaker who was brilliant but these university leaders are horrifying. Truly can't believe they think like this, let alone are willing to show this much Jew hate publicly on camera

stomachameleon · 06/12/2023 10:54

@Trulywonderful I hope they take her advice and resign.

Quite frankly that is the only decent thing they can do at this point after showing their true colours as racist fuckwits

Plus the universities reputations regarding bias behaviour and prejudice may be saved a little if they resign.

Humdingerydoo · 06/12/2023 11:01

I need to believe, for my own sanity, that the reason they smiled is because they know that what they're saying is absolutely insane but that this is what they've been told to say by their lawyers. I need to believe that. I can't bring myself to accept that well-educated people could actually believe that calling for the genocide of Jews could ever not be bullying or harassment?! It's too absurd.

And yes, I've always been this naive 😭

What is a zionist bank? I suppose you refer to barclays as a quaker bank because it was founded by Quakers?

Things have gone very badly wrong on American campuses. It must be terrifying to be a studrnt - or resident in a unversity town for that matter.
