The perversion is one side is protesting against genocide and another is protesting in favor of genocide. > Sounds like an actual attack on democracy. There is. And it's by the side you are on.
What do you think makes this a genocide vs a war?
The definitions of genocide and war.
To be clear: attempting to destroy a people for simply being a type of people is different from focusing on a state.
One can be at war and still be committing genocide.

Indeed. Enhancements are used too freely. They should only be an option in egregious cases, otherwise just charge people with the actual crime they committed.
I don’t like how enhancements are distributed like candy.

#94How many rights will we be asked to give up in order to squash anti-war sentiment?
This guy was accused of hurling a rock at a protester, it seems we are trying to defend the right to peaceful protest?
Like, this guy was identified off video of him throwing a rock at a protester that hit them in the face. By all accounts this is someone who is trying to violently suppress peoples rights. That he got off on police misconduct in the investigation is a loss to society, no matter how many waxing words try to twist him into being a "protester violated in his rights".

It’s the same basic thing as a spear being the same as a nuclear weapon. “They both kill people!”
Walking around with a photo versus walking around with a hundred million photos and asking everyone simultaneously should not be considered about the basic same thing.

> Anyone can protest whatever they want.
This is such blatant lie that it exposes you outright.
> You don't have the right to throw rocks at people.
Who says you have the right to throw rocks at people? Other than god in the torah, I know of no one who supports throwing rocks at anyone.
> If you think Israel is controlling the US
I don't have to think. The leader of israel literally went on american news and ordered the administration and state leaders to crack down on protests on US college campuses. And it immediately happened all over the country from ny to texas to california.
> getting them to arrest peaceful Palestinian protesters
Arrest violent palestinian and Israeli protestors. I don't care. But why lie about the crackdown on peaceful protestors?

>If you think Israel is controlling the US and getting them to arrest peaceful Palestinian protesters or that they somehow made it illegal to protest Israel then you've lost all critical thinking skills.
I think the situation is also not as simple as lawbreakers being investigated for breaking the law. What law did Mahmoud Khalil break to get himself arrested? The administration basically accused him of hate speech while being here on a Visa, not of breaking the peace or throwing rocks. The case in the article is different; with a very clear crime he should have been properly investigated for by NYPD. But this news is in the context of several other cases around these protests, and so attention to the lengths NYPD went to here is newsworthy.
Let me be clear, I agree wholeheartedly statements like "Israel controls the US" are an antisemitic trope that can be dismissed out of hand. But "protests against important US ally Israel have special attention from law enforcement agencies" - that's very different, and seems like it might have evidence here.
