All of this is just awful. The posturing over it in America is terrible, it's not about you and your political tribes, but you're somehow making it about you, when people are dying. Did their statement cause deaths in the Levant? No, it's just posturing. Does this truck prevent any deaths in the Levant? More useless posturing, with an added element of incitement to violence against those who dare disagree with us. Je…

So we shouldn’t have consequences for our actions? Are you saying I don’t understand forgiveness for mistakes? That is why I said the student groups that retracted their statements should be spared, but this is saying you should be able to run into a crowded theater and yell fire with no consequence. Also like usual with the over reaction. This isn’t a thought crime. It’s simply amplifying their own hate speech. If t…

I fully support isreal defending themselves (both from a security perspective and a revenge perspective). With that being said, i get what these people are also saying. Equating palistine with hamas is like blaming me for obama droning a wedding. Were these student groups actually supporting hamas or did they just identify with the people of palistine?

I'd say it's much more like blaming you for American terrorist actions (interestingly, I can't think of examples). Obama is the president of the country.

The student groups signed the letter as legal entities. But not every single member of those groups necessarily agreed to it. Members of at least some of those group were not even notified about the letter.

There is an easy solution if a group does something you don’t agree with. Post your disagreement with the group and that you are leaving.

I don’t think publicizing someone’s views (if you think them repugnant) is implied violence at all , nor is it harassment. Perhaps they want their community to shun them, which is a good and noble resolution to the general problem of someone exhibiting abhorrent behavior (note that I am not of an opinion on whether or not this original behavior is abhorrent). They doxxed themselves when they published their views. Th…

You don’t think if Elon Musk tweets tomorrow “@polygamous_bat doesn’t like X, or dogecoins! His phone number is 0123 and address is XYZ”, that’s harassment? None of what he would say is false, but by amplifying it to his audience of trolls he just increases the chance of something “accidentally” happening to me. Same here. Whether you say something or not, putting your face on a billboard is guaranteed to attract cra…
