The Pro Palestinian protests and news thread

[Hazelelponi]

Nobody said you or MEMRI were liars.

But people celebrating "Iran's International Al-Quds Day" (in America!) could certainly be described as "the most extreme views" that MEMRI chooses to disseminate.

But your post fits the topic, so I have no issue with it.

No one in America thinks every single Muslim is an extremist.

But 10,000 both holding and disseminating Islamist propaganda in a town of Muslims - and there's two such towns in the US - and tying it into the faith is a danger.

They are riding the coattails of Marxism and it's a serious problem.

9/11 was 16 determined and well funded men. That was it.

We have at least a 10,000 more times than that in America right now with the same, if not a higher level of commitment to the destruction of America.

And it's a problem.

Hahaha.

And it's a problem.

And white nationalism is an even bigger problem in terms of domestic terrorism. I'm glad Homeland Security and law enforcement are keeping eyes and ears open to all kinds of threats.

Lol if you think Muslims are Marxists you don't know much about Islam. They are fundamentally opposing ideologies.

Google just fired 28 employees who protested its contract with Israel​

After the employees held sit-ins at Google offices in New York City and California, nine were arrested, and 28 were fired.​

The employees, part of a group called No Tech for Apartheid, have been writing letters and staging protests against Google’s deal to sell technology to Israel since 2021. The tension over the cloud-computing contract, known as Nimbus, among employees at Google and Amazon has increased since the Israel-Gaza war began in October. The project’s critics say it will bolster the Israeli government’s surveillance of Palestinians and lead to further displacement and discrimination.

In an email statement, a Google spokesperson said the workers were fired for “physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities,” which is “a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior.”

“After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety,” the email said.

During the sit-in at Google’s headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif., on Tuesday, workers occupied the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian. But employees who participated in the action, videos of which were posted to Instagram, denied that they impeded anyone else at Google from working.

They should have also been fired for not doing their own work. Unless they all were in their day off. I hope they understand impeding is not the same thing as preventing. And I'm sure breaking the law in your own workplace is also a violation of policy.

These people deserved to be fired in this case.

Give them bad references too.

At the end of the day, they can lodge a complaint but if they don't like their companies business arrangements they're free to quit.

Why nobody is protesting against real genocides happening in the world. This is not a thread for it but it kind of makes Palestine issue more bizarre.

was is in Ethiopia where body count is hundreds of thousands or even millions?

I answered this question earlier in the thread.

The US government is providing both diplomatic and military support to Israel and has sent billions of dollars of military aid annually for decades to Israel. That's one of the differences between the conflicts you mentioned and Israel's current war in Gaza. Another is the unprecedented bombing campaign that has resulted in a massive loss of innocent lives and the displacement of so many others in such a short period of time. Many people see it as a moral obligation to publicly oppose these things.

I just want to remind everyone that as a former Muslim these people on college campuses and more who claim they are Hamas?

Yeah. Anyone know what apostate means in Islam?

Does anyone know what it's like trying to feel safe in a "Christian" nation when your Christian and Secular neighbors think it's cool that they'd murder me if I was stood in front of them?

Those people would kill me faster than any Jew .. yet you harbor and support them in every way.

It doesn't feel very safe, especially for the Christians who ARE here, and deserve a life too.

I do hope this is people's ignorance, but I beg everyone to listen to the Former Muslims and some current who are speaking...

Hamas is no one's friends, no one.

^^ please listen to her.

Don't wait for it to be your kids throwing Christian and Jewish babies in ovens or beheading them here in America like Hamas does in Israel.

This isn't the founder's vision here.

Interesting detail: pro palestinian activists claim Israel is doing this and that, shooting people getting food or killing hospital people or whatever. Same time there are complaints that reporters are not let to Gaza. Where do these activists get their detailed information? Nobody cares, just take in every bit of data from whatever sources.

Watch: Pro-Palestinian Protesters Breach US Military Supply Ship They Think Is Heading for Israel​

A U.S. military supply ship was blocked from leaving an Oakland, California, port on Friday by pro-Palestinian protesters who believed the ship was going to carry a cargo of military equipment to Israel.​

​

Protesters locked themselves to the carrier Cape Orlando, which they said was going to bring weapons to Israel after loading up in Tacoma, Washington, according to KPIX-TV.​

Anti-Israel protesters vandalize White House gates, try to scale fence​

New York police arrest hundreds after Israel-Hamas protest at Grand Central​

London police make arrests in violent pro-Palestinian protest​

What is the point of the post?

People will "protest" against almost anything.
And, the protesters often use arguments that do not make sense.

There are demonstrations in Islamic countries against Israel and America.
And all sorts of ridiculous arguments are used by the protesters.

Christians need to think through the arguments used by the protesters.
And evaluate whether or not they are compatible with Christianity.

The point of the post is to start a dialogue on what’s happening with the anti-Semitic movement going on across the world.

I thought that was pretty obvious

See, that's what is confusing: pro-Palestinian is not the same as antisemitic, although it is anti-Zionist, anti-genocide.

I thought that was pretty obvious

Apparently not.
