How stupid are these so-called "#proPalestinian" #protesters? Why TF are they protesting #KamalaHarris? Do they not understand what will happen in #Gaza if #Trump is elected? You're protesting the wrong person, idiots! You should be campaigning for Harris if you you actually care about the future of the #Palestinian people! You schmucks might want to reevaluate your strategy!

“‘The law’s provision of civil damages means that private actors — including those with seemingly endless resources — can bog you down in costly and distracting litigation.…This means that Palestinians and those who support their rights become ‘high risk’ — and those who they rely on — charities, funders, banks or social media companies — are chilled from further engagement. The goal is to isolate Palestinians.’”

Some students face criminal charges, suspensions and even expulsions for participating in pro-Palestinian protests and encampments. Their reason? A "just cause."

Maya Wind:

> „Die tegenwerping vind ik een poging mist te creëren en de aandacht af te leiden van waar het nu om moet gaan. Je kunt bij alle kritiek op Israël wel wijzen naar de Arabische wereld, maar wat heeft dat te maken met wat er nu in Gaza gebeurt? Trouwens, er zijn ook relevante verschillen. Arabische universiteiten hebben niet de institutionele banden en contacten met westerse instellingen die de Israëlische onderhouden. Geen Horizon 2020-projecten van de EU, geen grote programma’s voor samenwerking en uitwisseling. Israëlische universiteiten gaan daar ook prat op. Ze claimen dat ze uitzonderlijk internationaal, progressief en democratisch zijn, maar tegelijk willen ze niet ter verantwoording worden geroepen.”

Dat laatste is misschien wel de crux: de hele tijd vervelend vinden dat er zoveel aandacht is voor Israël, en die overdreven aandacht al snel antisemitisch vinden, maar ondertussen wel presenteren als een moderne staat.

For most people, politics is about fitting in

How do people formulate their political beliefs? By which I mean: how do they decide what politically-salient facts they believe to be true and which causes they identify with?
