    Fetterman decries college campus ‘pup tents for Hamas’

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...n&cvid=bd18387f264c46a89067e2df4a689f0f&ei=35

    I believe that it is a danger to democracy for our congress members, including "progressive" congress members, to view protesters as Un-American. Maybe they should be reminded that: If it wasn't for protesting, America wouldn't be the "free country" that it is suppose to be today...

    Except, of course, Fetterman didn't say it was un-American, according to the article.
    In fact he said “Now, of course, it’s a great American value to protest, but I don’t believe living in a pup tent for Hamas is really helpful”

    US Warns ICC Action on Israel Would Hurt Cease-Fire Chances

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...n&cvid=30fc756168ea4763837530e9e3f333b7&ei=67

    Biden says one thing in public, all the while arming Israel. As well as protecting Bibi from his war crimes. Biden is literally protecting Benjamin Netanyahu from being tried for crimes Biden helped him to commit. Pathetic.

    When you can expose Biden's lies for what they are, his lies are no different than the lies told to us by Trump. Lies are lies to me, and I don't trust blatant liars like these two.

    You literally can't oppose the war in Gaza from Israel, nor here in America. So much for democracy.

    Seems to me a lot of people are opposing the war so not sure who isn't being allowed to. What are you doing, Road Ratt, to oppose the war? Have you attended rallies? Contacted members of Congress? Volunteered with relief organizations? Who is stopping you?

    "Children should have a right to live!"

    "OMG, STOP BEING ANTISEMITIC!"

    Just because people don't want to see the Palestinians bombed back to the stone age doesn't mean they're antisemitic.

    Has anyone ever told you that you're starting to sound a little antisemitic?

    Police descend on Portland State University students protesting Vietnam War



    Looks like the 60's are back. Not quite as violent as the 60's, yet. Still need the C.I.A. to kill a president and several protesting leaders until we can call it the 60's again.

    ICC should definitely issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and other top officials. No question.

    I understand Biden not saying they should. Because he has to play politics a bit. But it shouldn't matter what he says.

    What is your vendetta about this? People are allowed to be opposed to their tax dollars being used to murder children. Whether they attend a protest or not doesn’t invalidate their opinion.

    Also, why would a grown ass adult go to a college protest for college students at a college?

    While I am concerned about college students rights to protest being hampered by the Biden administration. My bigger concern, and democrats should be concerned as well, is that the Israeli war is hurting Biden's poll numbers. If you don't want Trump to win in November, you should want this war to end too.

    Adults are allowed to protest too. Protests are not restricted to college campuses.

    While Biden and the Democrats certainly are aware that Israel's actions are hurting Biden's poll numbers, the geopolitical ramifications of the president of the United States cutting off Israel could wind up being far worse than dropping poll in numbers.

    There are some things more important than polling numbers.

    Has Biden made any attempt to limit the protests?

    Simple solution is for schools to go remote. I'm not sure why Biden would care to do anything about the protests.

    Sorry, this seems like an excuse to simply keep the war going.

    I would say more. But, I am dealing with my online friend and his mental health, yet again. Take 'er easy.
