This is even more concerning when you look at some of the motivations: "The bill was largely spurred by recent protests on university and college campuses across the country, including North Carolina-based schools, against the war in Gaza."

this is about control, fascism. historically student protests are the canary in the coal mine on a number of issues. powers that be are looking to stamp out any dissent going forward.

Who Funds Canary Mission? James Bamford on Group That Doxxes Students & Profs for Palestine Activism

Yup, it crosses the political divides.

• 80's Thatcher/Reaganomics,
• Clinton-Neoliberalism,
• Greenspan-Libertarianism (liberty for money, no regulation)= capitalism bringing on the calamity to humans and the planet.

Pretty disgusting. More people should be made aware of these tactics because it will leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth in an age of privacy concerns and surveillance.

This is authoritarian regime dystopian stuff.

Can only be described as psychopathic response disguised as intellectual arguments. There aren't enough dead babies, women and children that will move this person so long as they're Palestinian.

We need both, Rent Control and more housing. Land-lording has also been invaded by capitalists looking to squeeze humans for every cent and govt needs to stem that tide too. Rent has been soaring in the biggest capitalist zones, US and EU/CA.

Cap rent rises in England and Wales, Labour-commissioned report says

Mann himself stated his reasons include being a 'descendant of European Jews'. I admire his moral conviction. For some people 'never again' are life/history/moral lessons learned, rather than mere slogans to be printed on stickers.

All this death and destruction helped along by US tax dollars, and US munitions.

I was not surprised Hillary 'corporate' Clinton came out full on pro-death-and-destruction, pointedly criticizing student protesters. It's decades of failed blank check US foreign policy towards Israel playing out now.

They've been destroying and disrupting aid deliveries for some time. Even singing, chanting and dancing to the deed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVXdIVq6qrU
What's a little death by famine, of even babies and children. They are simply doing God's work. I'm sure God will sort it all out.

'Outrage' aside, the actions of these religious fanatics that 'settle' on stolen lands is not at all new or surprising. They can be described as terrorists as much as any other group.

Forced Arbitration Skyrockets. Need to ban this shit.

Some irony as NYT did a big investigation back in 2015: In Arbitration, a 'Privatization of the Justice System'

I am not exactly thrilled with Biden but Trump would absolutely be far, far, far, far worse. For America, the world and definitely Palestinians. I have zero doubt about that.

Is this the United States of Israel? It's amazing how far and wide you can get blacklisted for wanting to draw attention to a human catastrophe unfolding before the world's eyes.

I read an actress named Melissa Barrera was fired from the Scream 7 movie for her posts on the conflict.

As long as you never show support or sympathy to the P-word, you won't get called out or fired or blacklisted.

There decades since Yitzhak Rabin's assassination and Israel has lurched only further to the right. One of the greatest obstacles to peace has been Israel's continual land grabs and illegal settlement building. That has pretty much been cemented as nationalist policy. Ben Gvir is a psychopath and his rise is telling of how far Israel has embraced religious fanaticism.

No one, however, offends liberal and centrist Israelis quite like Itamar Ben-Gvir. Ben-Gvir, who entered parliament in 2021, leads a far-right party called Otzma Yehudit, or Jewish Power. His role model and ideological wellspring has long been Meir Kahane, a Brooklyn rabbi who moved to Israel in 1971 and, during a single term in the Knesset, tested the moral limits of the country. Israeli politicians strive to reconcile Israel’s identities as a Jewish state and a democracy. Kahane argued that “the idea of a democratic Jewish state is nonsense.” In his view, demographic trends would inevitably turn Israel’s non-Jews into a majority, and so the ideal solution was “the immediate transfer of the Arabs.” To Kahane, Arabs were “dogs” who “must sit quietly or get the hell out.” His rhetoric was so virulent that lawmakers from both sides of the aisle used to walk out of the Knesset when he spoke. His party, Kach (Thus), was finally barred from parliament in 1988. Jewish Power is an ideological offshoot of Kach; Ben-Gvir served as a Kach youth leader and has called Kahane a “saint.”

Ben-Gvir, who is forty-six, has been convicted on at least eight charges, including supporting a terrorist organization and incitement to racism, compiling a criminal record so long that, when he appeared before a judge, “we had to change the ink on the printer,” Dvir Kariv, a former official in the Shin Bet intelligence agency, told me. As recently as last October, Netanyahu refused to share a stage with him, or even to be seen with him in photographs. But a series of disappointing elections persuaded Netanyahu to change his mind.

Even the roots of Israel are established in violent acts of what can only be described as terrorism. Of course one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Israel is one of the main originators of the car bomb. But you can read more about the Irgung gangs and terrorism committed by Israel's founders if you choose.

Buda's wagon was, in essence, the prototype car bomb: the first use of an inconspicuous vehicle, anonymous in almost any urban setting, to transport large quantities of high explosive into precise range of a high-value target. It was not replicated, as far as I have been able to determine, until January 12, 1947 when the Stern Gang drove a truckload of explosives into a British police station in Haifa, Palestine, killing 4 and injuring 140. The Stern Gang (a pro-fascist splinter group led by Avraham Stern that broke away from the right-wing Zionist paramilitary Irgun) would soon use truck and car bombs to kill Palestinians as well: a creative atrocity immediately reciprocated by British deserters fighting on the side of Palestinian nationalists.

Thank you for reminding about the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.

Not enough people realize the extent and level of religious fanaticism that exists in Israel.
