From the river to the sea Palestine will be free!.
As I said earlier this week, “decolonization”, “from the river to the sea” and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide. Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension.

. @noatishby you’ve put a photo of my mother-in-law in your video and claimed she was convicted of terrorism financing. She has never even been charged with a crime. You’ve made a verifiably false claim, indeed one that’s been documented as such in the last day by AP and other.
Three things you need to know about what’s happening on college campuses right now: . 1) It’s not peaceful. 2) it’s not grassroots. 3) It’s not true. Let me explain.

You all need to understand. The IDF is bad, but settlers are *insane* (and many are Americans). And they are never punished.
Settler attacks have increased against Palestinians in the West Bank. The violence is of a proportion not seen since 2005. The FRANCE 24 Observers team spoke to a member of an NGO settlement watch team to learn more about the latest wave of violence.

This is why Islam has never spread outside of the Arab world.

Because universities have an unusually high concentration of intelligent people aware of the world, and such people realize that Israel is an apartheid state engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide, funded and supported by the United States. Also universities are unusually.
Why is antisemitism so common at universities, but not at other American institutions? . If you teach students academic theories that encourage them to hate groups and countries, you get students who can quickly learn to hate groups and countries.
