I was curious about the statements of the Colombia professors that brought them congressional ire. Found this article about it. I think some of it is pretty gross glorification of Hamas but some of these professors are definitely being slandered just for being critical of Israel.

Massad, who once called Israel “a racist state”, has also previously come under fire for allegedly spewing anti-Israeli remarks in class and for comparing Hamas aggression against Israel to the Warsaw ghetto uprising against the Nazis during WWII.

Yep checks out. Hamas forgot to be the perfect victim. Don’t google the civilian casualties of other violent uprisings.

Oppression is not an excuse to commit heinous crimes. A party can be brutally, illegally oppressed and still be held responsible for the things they do in retaliation.

That’s really cool maybe have the same feelings for those being oppressed for 75+ years instead of them striking back when everyone else has abandoned them.

Hey guess what, most people can hold more than one idea in their heads at thw same time.

Israel occupying palestine and committing genocide is bad! Israel killing civilians is bad!

Hamas killing civilians is bad! Hamas kidnapping people is bad!

These are not mutually exclusive, hamas don’t get a free pass to be cunts because Israel is a bigger cunt.

Absolutely they sure have massive flaws. But since there is nobody else standing up for the Palestinians right to self determination Hamas is the best out of all the options. Including the US as Biden just proved.

Hm. Where the fuck have the billions in aid money to Gaza gone over the years?

Hamas has done some amazing “standing up for the Palestinians”…

Why doesn’t Hamas just make a liberal paradise inside of their concentration camp? Great question.

If your neighbor constantly shot at you, you’d build a wall between your houses too.

But Gaza has another boarder. Does Egypt participate in making Gaza a concentration camp?

If someone invades your land and kills your family you shoot them indeed. Which is what Palestinians do.

Israel controls the Egypt border so yes. Weird you bring that up.

The Egyptian-controlled Rafah crossing is Gaza’s main lifeline to the outside world that is not run by Israel.

For someone who seems to like to portray a good understanding of the situation this seems like a huge oversight. Or were you bullshitting me?

So who does the checking at Rafah is that Egypt? Why is there IDF at the scanners?
