“To condemn Hamas is a good thing,” said Elrabieey, a native of Egypt and a visiting scholar in Tulane’s Middle East and North African Studies program. “But at the same time, if you didn’t condemn Israel for committing war crimes, this is a double standard.”
At least one person there has a good grasp.
I just last week took a walk on the Tulane campus and there was a lot of the usual sidewalk chalk activism I expect on a college campus. There was a huge list on one path of just names of children killed in Palestine, that one stood out in my memory for maybe obvious reasons.
The campus is also directly adjacent to Temple Sinai, a progressive reform synagogue which is very pretty and big. There's a lot of "we stand with Isreal" posters up and around the temple. There's a much smaller mosque and student Muslim association on the campus. So the whole area is pretty heated about the situation, as you might imagine.
I'm sure also that the regional majority of Christians rooting for Isreal to kick off the Apocalypse doesn't really help the situation (or the reporting quality) much either.
dueling demonstrations
lol so what's the pro-Israeli side saying?
"Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!"
It kind of makes me wonder if it's pro- any means necessary?
Is it pro action, even if they disagree with the extreme response?
Is it a thinly veiled dogwhistle support for genocide by say pray for Israel?
Right to exist?
Some mix of the above?
What happened to all the Punch a Nazi in the face people? Does it not apply to Zionists? Or only after a genocidal ethno state is ended?
