Tensions spill across universities like Columbia and Harvard as students on each side accuse the other of a kind of bloodlust

To one side, Columbia students stood silently, wrapped in the blue and white of Israel as they gripped pictures of the murdered and abducted. Across the grass and brick divide, a slightly larger cohort of students chanted “Free, free Palestine.”

The faultline between the two ran along the claim by each that the other was pursuing a kind of bloodlust – a charge that has divided university campuses across America in the wake of the bloody Hamas attack on Israeli communities and Israel’s ongoing military assault on Gaza.

Reactions within US universities to the killing of at least 1,300 Israelis and the abduction of about 100 more have swung from celebration of the Hamas assault as a legitimate act of resistance to occupation to condemnation along with a demand that it not be used to ignore the deaths of Palestinians killed in Israel’s retaliation on Gaza.

Or you actually don't have to choose sides at all about a conflict on the other end of the world you know very little about.

Let's all slow clap for every person going out of their way to say that humans/civilians deserve to live peaceful lives. Good job. Good for you. Here's your fucking cookie for your good deed for the day by stating the obvious on the internet to feel better about yourselves.

A fucking lot of good this comment does.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Just like every comment that says the obvious so the commenter can feel like a good person.

What flag do I wave for “both sides are terrible and neither deserves the religious sites, just nuke the entire area”? /s
