    Wait, are you trying to frame “people protesting their government committing genocide” as them violating “their obligation to not freely offer yourself up as an attack vector.”

    You’re literally just trying to say that citizens shouldn’t allow themselves to be exposed to views counter to government line.

            The colleges have relationships with the companies that make the bombs and have direct investments in Israel.

              Why not also protest at, I don’t know, the White House or Congress? The people who make policy work there, a college faculty can’t do shit to affect Israeli strategic policy.

        The US government provides weapons for the genocide.

        One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.

        Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.

        Of course Israel isn’t going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don’t like it. But that doesn’t mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.

        Ok. I’m not going to argue basic facts with a genocide denying fascist who thinks media should be suppressed if it “increases civil unrest” (aka, shows the truth.)

            See, this is why it’s not worth arguing with fascists like you. You’re clearly just trolling; you aren’t even bothering to keep your basic positions consistent (see you up and down the thread saying things like “These protests do nothing and only increase civil unrest.” and yet you’re know trying to claim that you’re actually part of the protests and actually Tiktok is trying to ‘legitimize’ them)

        Funded by Amerikan money. The government you uplift, and everyone who still supports them after eight months of unmitigated genocide, is complicit. Is a collaborator.
