    If you actually bother looking up the Qatari donations to US universities you can find out that they seem to be funding those universities operating remote (mostly medical) schools BACK IN QATAR. I guess that’s just not as exciting as pretending Blood Libel 101 is now mandatory to get a liberal arts degree

    The worldnews subreddit is the single most propagandized instance I have ever seen online or in real life.

    They had a top voted post about how hezzbollah was criticizing hamas for their lavish lifestyle. Literally trying to get a petty slap fight going based on op Ed’s by people who have been calling for unrestricted murder for 4 decades.

    CPAC 2002 wasn’t this ready to invent a narrative to start a war.

      I just can’t help having my brain fall back to one of Andrew Brietbart’s last big public shit fits, where he screamed “Stop raping people!” over and over again at a crowd of college protesters while police had to literally hold him back. This was a few months before he OD’d on coke.

    So they admit they’re oppressing the Palestinians?

    Trying to again conflate critique of Zionism and the apartied enthno-state of Israel with anti semitism isn’t sticking. You have Jews front and center in these Palestine marches. You had hundreds of Jews sit congress to protest for a ceasefire.

    As much as they try to conflate social justice with “Hamas” they can’t hide Israel’s well documented wrong doing with anti-semitism.

    They can try to attack the universities (wait until they hear about foriegn investment in corporate America) but I think it’s going to backfire. They want to play foriegn influence - look at congress. Look at how much they simp to Zionist bribers. FEC.GOV go see the major briber and who are Zionists. Sheldon Addelson was a major one before he croaked. His wife Mariam carries it on. Foreign companies or companies with major shareholders who are Zionists or have foriegn ties.

    Schumer had a bunch of Jews - descendants of the Holocaust - protest his house. Going to blame Qatar on that too?

    66% of the nation wants a ceasefire - a majority of both camps and a super majority of the ruling party.

    Israel has completely fucked their PR for generations with this genocidal move. People are awake. If they start hearing Zionsist loyalties, it will hurt them in elections. Look at what’s gone with Joe Biden. Genocide Joe is sticking.

    The Republican Debate was who kisses Israel’s ass the most. Real fucking American.

    Keep calling people racists or traiators for standing against wholesale genocide. Don’t think you are going to put this back in the back,

    I tried to google both The United Association for Studies and Research and its supposed founder, Mousa Abu Marzook. Now I don’t know whether search engines are just literally incapable of finding things these days or what, but literally every result was some scare-mongering site about, like, “extremism” or “the islamic brotherhood” or “hamas networks operating in the US” or some such bullshit. You’d think if the UASR exists that they’d have a website or something I could find, but they sure don’t seem to.

    It pisses me off when people make comments on the internet with this much certainty, but I can’t seem to verify even the very existence of the thing they’re talking about. Mousa Abu Marzook appears to be a real person, a high-level hamas official, even, but beyond that, I just don’t know how to find any info on this supposed “far-left academic think tank”. It legitimately doesn’t seem to exist, except to be referenced by “reports” on “extremism”.

    Ugghh, the internet has been pissing me off recently, I think I need to logout

      The United Association for Studies and Research sounds so Vincent Adultman.

      Admins, would it be possible to make logout functional?

      I don’t even know how to search effectively anymore because of this bullshit, like trying to find any news info about Israeli violence before this year is impossible right now through search engines, hundreds of articles just talking about the current conflict and justifying genocide etc. You can’t hardly even ‘google it’ to get to any concrete info about a situation.

      No, thats antisemitic conspiracy, no jew would be stupid enough to do that. Arent lobbies a form of corruption, and control of gov outside democratic ways? Wouldnt that give legitimacy to the jewish kabal conspiracy theory?

      Jokes aside, im worried by the media conflating judaism and zionism. Im worried it will spark a new wave of old style antisemitism. I mean, in the event where westerners will have to make sense of the genocide. Or are we too islamophobic to get second thoughts?

    I’m not smart enough to understand what they’re getting at. Hamas reaching out to potential international allies is antisemitic? Qatar exists? I really don’t get it, but whatever it is, it sounds like a big deal.

      They’re arguing that liberal arts programs are a result of Hamas funding and produce “far leftists” that will do antisemitism by denouncing the oppression of Hamas
