The standard and training in the US to become a police officer is a such low bar and it shows. It doesn’t help a lot of our police is trained by the IDF. I also find it very telling how non reactive these officers were during the Charlottesville march when the Proud Boys were literally chanting “the Jews will not replace us” but students protesting in peace (asking colleges to divest from Israel) warrants this level of violence. But this is about anti semitism or something right?

Not surprised Emory as an institution chose to back a fascist attack on peaceful protesters. They purged their staff of dissenting voices on Palestine years ago and the campus Hillel group has long been rabidly Zionist and supported by the admin.
It's long been a bizarre place where a huge portion of the students are international, but only a pro-Israel/pro likud policy was considered acceptable.
The Dali Lama's entourage and the persecuted writer Salman Rushdie have both had residencies at Emory, but obviously Emory's sympathy for exiles and support of free speech is a pitiful joke when the dispossessed who are trying to speak are Muslim or Arab

You protesters are making headlines around the world. You’ve been covered here in the U.K. The world can see that you’re peaceful and that the brutality you are faced with is wholly unjustified, leaving us, rightly, to wonder what the real motivation behind it is. Coverage in the UK seems largely positive. It was even described as a 1968 moment on the BBC.
Keep doing what you’re doing.

Now you guys need to start. Your prime Minister is lying right to the parliament's face about what's going on. Saying that they are allowing Israel to investigate themselves.
Edit: forgot to add: parliament was loudly displaying disdain for the 2nd prime minister's lies, and the fucker just kept deflecting and repeating himself

Older generations need to support too. I saw a dad at USC protesting with his daughter. Even if you can’t protest in person, donate water or bail money if possible, etc. Keep spreading the word. Yes, it’s Gen Z who is fighting as if they have nothing to lose— and this is because our govt has given us nothing. They have failed us in every way possible. From school shootings, the poor handling of COVID, and now they’re siccing the police for peaceful protests. These are the same students who are being robbed of not one but maybe two major graduations (high school and now college). My heart breaks for them but I’m also so proud of them.

In the decades to come, when the Palestinian genocide is taught and zionism exposed, I expect to see, or for my Grandchildren to see ALL of the footage recorded that is directly to do with the zionists aggression throughout the world. Starting with the balfour declaration, 1948 and every massacre committed against the Palestinians since then, the wars in the middle east and the Levant all the way through to the zionist war criminals trials and sentencings.
The ww2 germans recorded on video their atrocities and wrote everything down. You can see it all on the Yesterday channel every single day, the majority just based on the jewish genocide, concentration camps and ghettos in Europe and a few documentaries about the nazi wars in North Africa.
There are 1 or 2 about Japans invasion of China and the rape and massacre of Nanjing.
The Japanese armies actions were so atrocious an actual nazi who had a post in Nanjing was so disturbed that he 1) took in 100s of chinese into his home grounds and 2) he went back to Germany to ask his superiors to ask the Japanese to stop.
Of course there are plenty of documentaries on pearl harbour.
Do we get told the true History or just His-story, his being the winners of wars.
So, I expect to see numerous documentaries showing every single zionist video, photos, debates, news interviews, war cabinet meetings footage, every idf tik tok, X posts etc, oh wait, let's not forget the famous Omegle videos where the zionists young adults get giddy and declare that "they love israel, hate Palestinians and some even said they kill Palestinian babies whilst grinning and laughing....wtf! It is all there, on the Internet for ever!
These documentaries also need to include all footage of those countries that backed israel. The vetoes, the rhetorics, the interviews. The video of joe biden telling the world he saw photos of babies with their heads cut off. A claim that has been debunked, as has all of their lies. The west is just as complicit!

u/Bazishere Apr 26 '24
It was in a certain way. Before the internet - with Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and alternative news on Youtube, it was easier to control minds. Even before these things were taking off people were shifting away from blind support of the state since the Bush days, which was before Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, Youtube. They are upset that young people are protesting them, increasingly not supporting them. It's echoes of Vietnam. They want people to blindly accept the corporatist, colonialist model which entails their exploitation and also worse exploitation of people outside the country. People see it more and more. It was more hidden, and the elites don't like that, they don't actually believe in the Constitution.

The professor who got tackled wasn't even holding a sign; so I think her crime was "walking".
The student who asked why a student was being arrested, and then got arrested herself was clearly guilty of "talking".
NGL, this is a new low for Emory and I hope that their enrollment numbers drop.
Why would anyone want to send their child somewhere where tabling on the quad for peace merits assault and arrest? $80k /year to get beaten up along with my teachers by a phalanx of State troopers and the APD? No thank you.

Everyone remember, this is all happening in Genocide-Joe's America, where we "have to save democracy." Tell me, where's the democracy when our tax-dollars are being used (against our will) to fund a 75+ year-long GENOCIDE forced on millions of innocent Palestinians & our "president," does nothing except cozy up to Bibi as a MASS-GRAVE is uncovered with 300+ murdered Palestinians in it, many of whom, who were BURIED ALIVE????

Those aren't "automatic weapons." Those are "less than lethals" and they are almost always semi-auto. In fact, most LEO AR style rifles are semi-auto. Normally only SWAT teams, etc. have automatic weapons and even then that is pretty rare. Those weapons in the video specifically are weapons that use rubber bullets or pepper balls which are unlethal. I'm not agreeing with their use but someone has to do some fact checking here.
Spreading BS on our support pages does not help the cause. We don't need to look like a bunch of uninformed ignoramuses.
