They like to buy your voice by money. Dont give up your moral. Human dignity is important.
They need to speak to the DEI director of Palestine
Why was Cory Booker in Israel the day that this started?

We have a crisis of mentally ill young people, who would side with actual terrorists and fascists, unable to distinguish between dangerous ideologies and reality. The intersection of transactivists, BLM, decolonization, support for Hamas / terrorism and climate change is becoming increasingly troubling. They have been brainwashed into thinking that somehow Hamas and Palestine are somehow related to the American civil rights struggle. No one likes war, but Israel has been pressured into letting Hamas become more and more belligerent. How young people have been brainwashed into believing that mass murder is totally fine but protecting your borders and citizens isn't, is beyond appalling. There is no justifiable moral equivalency here. These people are dangerous, misguided and ignorant.

For real? These kids are clueless.
College students dont realize that no one takes them seriously...I attended Umass and went to a "divest" meeting once. It consisted of about 15 minutes of childish insults aimed at the chancellor, then devolved into drinking and smoking weed. It was essentially just a house party. It's hilarious that these kids think they know what's best, and that adults should obey them. Luckily, the first job tends to snap most people out of this when they realize they are at the level of "coffee getter", and literally no one cares. You have to prove yourself and earn respect, you don't just have it by default at age 20. Most 20 year olds are useless...I sure was at that age. Constantly stoned, even at work.

We found the 20 year old Liberal who thinks they knew everything at 20! "Why cant every job provide a living wage!!!?" These people are so diluted to what real life is, first real job helps. Imagine if there was Internet in 1941-45 and we got to see Stalingrad on youtube....these children would piss themselves in fear.
All should protest against crime against humanity and genocide
Where is freedom speech supporting ceasefire and world peace ❤
Go UMASs
The world is safe and peaceful without NAZIonista Before the presence of NAZIonista in Palestine, Muslims, Jews and Christians lived side by side with mutual respect, safe and peace in the Middle East. This's the fact!
America finally has hope. If we had so many students like them, there would never be the War of Vietnam or War of Iraq.

The title should read " students for Hamas baby killers should be freed". And maybe they should take a field trip to Gaza with their coexist shirts and see how welcome they are.
Where is their protest for the 85 year old grandmother held underground by Hamas for 17 days? I'm not saying Isreal is guiltless, but neither Hamas. However, I will say that, as a Umass alumni, I do celebrate their passion for change.
Where is all your tears and outrage for the American Indian? That's what I thought mic drop.
