If one group of citizens can be targeted like this with impunity, and
no retribution for blatant antisemitism, then any group of citizens
can be targeted in a similar way.
GOP leadership is weak,
They have been pretty strong on being against anti-semitism
The question is where were they during the anti-White pogroms during BLM?
Mitt Romney was out there marching in the street with the DC BLM
Has any top GOP leader been out marching in the street with the pro-Palestinian protestors? of course not
Rarely do I defend BLM for anything, but there were different kinds of BLM marches and protests. Yea, it's become a punch line, but fact is, a majority were peaceful and reasonable. There were, in fact, multiple marches where police forces joined. There were prayer sessions involving all kinds. If any of those would have been near me, I may well have attended. As for those that were violent/radical, there were plenty of conservative politicians and influencers calling it out and saying more should be done.
Whether police always do the right thing or not, it is always reasonable to ask them to do the right thing.
The vast majority of BLM protesters were asking that police who kill innocent blacks be held accountable, and that they seek to treat everyone fairly.
It could be argued that in the past decade or 2 police themselves have become much more diverse, better representing the demographics of the U.S., and that for every mistreatment of a black American, there are probably 3 of a white American. However, the centuries before that created a narrative very different, and when such injustice has been perpetrated for so long, it just takes more than 1 or 2 decades of fair policecwork to change the societal narrative.
The peaceful BLM protests were exactly reasonable, and anyone making use of their right to peacefully protest, I applaud, even if I disagree with the cause.
Centuries of police brutality is a fact. Yes people care. I do think recent police brutality was vastly overstated by mainstream media, but I am glad that people protested this perception. If you thought it was real, you'd have to be a real monster to not support such protests.
Police were not even a common thing until very recently (in terms of human history).
The vast majority of blacks, alive today, have never experienced police brutality... and yet the majority of them are very concerned about it and are looking intently for it.sombear said:cowboycwr said:Centuries?????Porteroso said:Wangchung said:I'm glad that you also agree that the blm riots were about feelings and narrative rather than facts and reality.Porteroso said:Wangchung said:Based on the fact that the BLM marches were predicated on the lie that police are hunting down innocent black people NONE of the BLM marches were "reasonable."sombear said:Redbrickbear said:Forest Bueller_bf said:Of course it is a top priority.Redbrickbear said:Mike Johnson, Jim Jordan and company now say they’re going to make it their top “all of the House” priority to focus on the critical, existential issue of “Anti-Semitism” on college campuses.

I'm about as pro-cop as anyone, and it drives some of my libertarian and black friends crazy. I moved hard that way after going on some police ride alongs with some black friends and doing more research. We all developed a healthy respect for the jobs cops have to do.
That said, it's foolish to deny the history of law enforcement abuse against blacks. It's not just police of recent history. Think about how the U.S. slave trade itself started and was administered and who was involved. Think about how slavery was enforced and the "justice system" in effect. Think about law enforcement in post slavery, Jim Crow south. Think about law enforcement's role in fighting (literally) the civil rights movement. And even late into the 20th Century, it will take you 2 minutes on google to find rampant systematic racial abuse among certain major police departments.
Again, thankfully, we are far beyond that. And we don't have to beat ourselves up for it. But it's wrong to deny it and wrong to say it's just "emotional" for blacks.

Of course Israel is going to fight back. It is a shame Hamas as a terriorist organization uses citizens as human shields and place strategic miltiary operations such as the Palestinian military intelligence service in refugee camps. It is a shame bad things happen.
But, those eqivocating the State of Israel with Hamas and saying they are both the same thing, are morons.
There are those even worse, who actually believe Israel is worse than Hamas and Israel is "the" bad guy here.
Those individual are devoid of a perspective of history.
Do not be decieved, those that chant from the River to the Sea, and also proclaims this problem goes back to 1947, simply what to annilate Israel. It never ends, the Nazi's wanted to annilate Jews. Now these folks are taking up the torch.

Besides, the beg the question of whether not the US can stop a war of a sovereign nation. I am certainly in favor of the right of Israel to protect itself but what is happening in Gaza is genocide and breeding more terrorists.
The protests have moved beyond their usefulness and whatever sympathy we had for their cause (to stop the killing of innocent Palestinians ) is waning. The people in charge have gone nuts. The administrators and police are showing great restraint.
