Many university students are raising up against the ties their universities have with Israel. Students are asking for this agreements to stop
I can see this is happening in USA which has been in the news quite a lot but I can also read news about Paris as well as UK.

I really doubt much will change but I’m glad people are against these agreements. We can’t change what Israel / Hamas do. But we should be able to change what our governments / universities do.

Please don't take that tone with me, thank you. You may not be realise it but you come across as quite rude with your dual questioning rhetoric.

I am not rude, so I won't comment on how your post telling the students to go to Gaza came across.

I did not say YOU were rude, I said that is how you come across in your tone. My comment on how the students might get their protests over better was not rude nor aimed at you. You simply did not like my suggestion but it didn't make me rude.

Perhaps the protestors could go to Israel and make their protests there as you are quite right - gaining access to Gaza would be difficult at the moment. Then they would be protesting on the soil of those they have an issue with and their voices heard. Others are protesting in Israel against the government and rightly so on some matters.

The racism is really coming out now, videos emerging of the Pro-Israeli thugs making monkey noises and shouting bring back slavery at black students

I hope the colleges take the necessary steps to protect the students

Obviously these black students must have been antisemitic...

Ah yes, I forgot the Israeli gang are always the victims, even when they're beating students with wooden planks

This is such an unpleasant thing to say, I really hope you can examine the kind of language you use and sentiments it expresses and try to do a bit better in the future.

Thanks for the lesson in morality. Remember when you point the finger at someone, three point back at you.

No they don't.

So a bunch of racist frat boys waving American flags and wearing stars and stripes dungarees are automatically pro-Israeli now? How did you reach that conclusion? Did you see anything indicating they're pro-Israeli in that video that you can point out? I heard a lot of "Lock her up!" so I'm guessing they're Trump fans. It's disgusting behaviour but I'm struggling to understand the connection to being pro-Israeli unless there's context missing.

They're certainly racist, bullying thugs.

No they don't.

Physically they do ( try it and come back and tell me they don't) and morally too.
It is a quote from John Sentamu, you know the retired bishop of York. I expect him to know a few things about morality. Don't you?

I think you mean the retired Archbishop of York.

And they still don't.

Yes, it does. It's disgusting racist behaviour in the first video and it's inexcusable.
In the second video, someone is screaming Baby killers, baby killers, you're fucking baby killers, that's what you are! at a line of pro-Israeli counter protestors who are filing past, so that also paints quite a clear picture.

No, I'd prefer it without the blood libel altogether, if that's not too much to ask.

I admire your boldness at arguing with an anatomical fact and the morality of an archbishop ( note how I have corrected my mistake; it is good to park your ego and admit you are wrong. It is a sign of maturity).

Excellent! We're clearly on the same page so I look forward to seeing you practise what you preach a bit more in the future.

Would shouting '13800 children dead and you still want it to continue as you're not calling for peace but instead more destruction' work?

I was curious what your takeaway would be from that video, no comment on the Pro-Israelis shouting you support the rape of women or the lovely Pro-Israeli gentleman squaring up and spitting at someone
